Dear Friends,

What a wonderful celebration of Christmas, the feast of the Incarnation - (our feast day as a congregation) At 5pm we had an amazing pageant presenting the story of the birth of Christ with rich reflections and wonderful moments of worship.  At 8pm a joyful and uplifting time as we welcomed Christ once again, The New Born King!  (Click Here for the audio of the Christmas sermon)  

As we look forward let us not rush to quickly into the new year.  There are twelve days set aside in the church calender of Christmas (until Epiphany on January 6th). I encourage you to continue to contemplate the meaning of this moment we call Christmas, reflect on the coming of Christ into our hearts and lives for in doing so we are made rich in the Kingdom of God.  

May God grant us grace in the journey and may He find us faithful in each moment...   

in the mission,

Father Jon+   

We are still working and hoping to end the year closer to meeting our budget and would ask you to consider a special year end gift to Incarnation. Also if you have not turned in your pledge card for 2012 that will help the vestry in finalizing the 2012 budget.  You can speak to Father Jon or our Senior Warden Jeff Woodside if you have questions or comments.  (Reminder: Per IRS rules all contributions that will appear on your 2011 charitable contributions statement must be turned into the church office no later than 12/31/11 or postmarked no later than 12/31/11)
