The Collect  / Proper 27   
O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. AMEN.

Dear Friends,

A couple of announcements for the weekend.  The Diocese is organizing efforts to help with the relief from the devastating storm in the Philippines.   If you would like to contribute we will be taking a special offering please make your checks out to Incarnation and mark them "Philippines".  Please pray for the people there as they suffer in this tragedy.

 

The Saturday evening service is growing and becoming a sweet spot of our worship. The issue is most of the folks who attended the 8am service are now coming to the Saturday Vespers / Holy Communion.  So much so that three out of the last four Sundays the only people at 8am were the folks who were serving.   After discussion and reflection at vestry this week we have decided to remove the 8am Sunday morning service from our worship schedule.  This Sunday November 17th will be the last time (at least for now) that we have an early service.  

 

Look forward to seeing you all this weekend. 

    

                                                    ...in the Mission, 

                                                    Fr. Jon+

From Dr. Carla Waterman...
  An Advent Season Retreat on       
       THE MAGNIFICAT
December 14th / 9am-9pm
Carla's retreats are quiet, contemplative spaces designed to take people deeper into God's presence. She is a gifted speaker and retreat leader. The topic of this retreat is one in which Carla wrote a book about and one in which she has profound insights.  It will enrich this year's celebration of Incarnation for sure!  The cost is $89.00 for the day which includes 2 meals.   If you want to go and have trouble with the cost please see me - there are scholarships available - We do not want money to be a reason someone does not attend.
