UPCOMING EVENTS
Throughout 2025, we will be meeting for study, prayer, retreat, and occasional worship to be formed in community by the presence of God in our midst. These events are meant to help you get to know Incarnation and the Episcopal tradition. Attending is an act of exploration, not commitment. We hope that studying, praying, and worshipping together will assist you in discerning if God is calling you to take part in Incarnation's foundational chapter. Please check out our upcoming events below, and spread the word to others who might be interested in joining us!
"They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers" (Acts 2:42).
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
a 6-week series on the Church
Wednesdays, April 30 - June 4, 6:30pm / Merchant Coffee Co. / 922 Merchant St. Ambridge / To be notified about details, please sign up for Incarnation updates.
​
One of the strongest arguments against Christianity is the Church: its division, its abuses, its incoherence across denominations. How did we get here? What’s more, in the midst of such a broken institution, how do we heed Isaiah’s call to “seek the Lord where he wills to be found”?

MORNING PRAYER IN THE PARK
Every Wednesday, 7:45AM, at Two Mile Run Park, Shelter 1, beginning June 11th / 1925 Gypsy Glen Rd. Beaver / To be notified about details, please sign up for Incarnation updates.
​
Through the summer, we'll be meeting at Two Mile Run Park (under Shelter 1 immediately in front of the main parking lot--rain or shine) to pray morning prayer together out of the Prayer Book. Morning Prayer is part of the Daily Office, a pattern of morning, noonday, evening, and nighttime prayer that first emerged in the context of Jewish life in the Old Testament and reemerged as a Christian practice within the monastic tradition. When we pray the Offices, we use words that have been prayed before and will be prayed again, and we encounter the steadfast God who meets us not only in the extraordinary and miraculous but in the ordinariness of daily life.
HOLY EUCHARIST AND SUMMER BARBECUE
Saturday, June 28th, at 11am / Two Mile Run Park, Shelter 2 / 1925 Gypsy Glen Rd. Beaver / To be notified about details, please sign up for Incarnation updates.
​
On Saturday, June 28th, we'll gather to celebrate the Eucharist and enjoy the sunshine and each other's company at Two Mile Run Park. Bring a snack, side, or drink to share for after worship. We'll be grilling hotdogs, hamburgers, and black bean burgers!
Two Mile Run has a playground, a basketball court, and a creek. To navigate to the event, park in the main parking lot at 1925 Gypsy Glen Road, then walk past the first shelter and across the bridge, and you'll see Shelter 2 ahead on your right. For folks with limited mobility, a few parking spots right beside Shelter 2 are available. Drive across the bridge to be dropped off or to park there for easier access.
ANCIENT WORDS AND BODILY WORSHIP: PRAYING IN THE EPISCOPAL TRADITION
September 2025 / Morning event / To be notified about details, please sign up for Incarnation updates.
​
Believing that the Spirit has been at work forming the mind of Christ in the Church since the day of Pentecost, the Episcopal tradition invites us to pray words that have been prayed many times before and to present our souls and bodies to God by physical actions that Christians have been practicing for centuries: kneeling, standing, crossing ourselves, bowing, and so on.
In this morning retreat, we'll immerse ourselves in the rich patterns of historical Christian worship and explore the beauty and grace God offers us through the Episcopal tradition. We'll conclude our morning with an Instructed Eucharist service, which will offer us the chance to slow down, observe, and learn about the different parts of the liturgy as we make our way through it, shedding light on why we do what we do in worship and inviting us more deeply into the richness, power, and mystery of the praise of the Triune God.
JESUS IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE
Teaching and Eucharist
TBD / To be notified about details, please sign up for Incarnation updates.
​
Christianity has taken center stage in American public life over the past few years. Talk of "protecting Christian values" is rampant. But what makes certain values Christian? And what kind of public life should we seek if we are following in the footsteps of Jesus of Nazareth, the God who exercised his power by dying on a cross for his enemies?​

ASHES, FISH FRIES, AND FASTING: WHAT IS LENT ALL ABOUT?
MARCH 21, 2025
BEAVER, PA
"Lent is the invitation
to keep company with Jesus,
as Jesus keeps company with us.
It is the call to go where Jesus goes, into the wilderness with both eyes open. It is, to put it another way, an invitation into reality—an invitation into the truth—a call to recognize that there is a conflict, and that we are in it, whether or not we acknowledge it, whether or not we want to be. Though conquered at the cross, Sin, Death, and the Devil still seek to exert their wounded presence in this world. The wilderness that Jesus labored through during those forty days, the wilderness of temptation, the wilderness of everyday life still exists, and it’s still a place of conflict—not with flesh and blood, as St. Paul reminds us, but with “the cosmic powers over this present darkness, the spiritual forces of evil” which still seek to reign around us and in us, in our world and in our lives.
That's what Lent is all about at the end of the day:
keeping company with Jesus
in the wilderness of ordinary life.​"
