March 21st, 6pm / Lenten Meal, Teaching, and Taizé Prayer / Beaver Pool House Community Center, 700 Beaver Street, Beaver / Please register for this event

​

The Church Year is not something that most people think about on the day to day, but against all odds Lent has become a cultural staple—people show up to work with ashes on their foreheads, fish fries are advertised on every other block, and avoiding sweets becomes oddly fashionable. But what is the season of Lent actually about? What do ashes and fish and fasting have to do with Jesus?

​

As we share a simple Lenten meal, we'll explore the profound invitation Lent offers us. Who knows, we may just discover that this liturgical season is not actually about fried food or giving up candy, but about something much more exciting: taking our part alongside Jesus in God's ancient war against evil.

​

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”?

​

Christianity has taken center stage in political discourse over the past few years. But what does Jesus’ earthly ministry teach us to expect about the role Christianity should have in society? In this event, we’ll highlight recent public discourse about Jesus and the Christian faith, dig into the assumptions of this discourse, and contemplate what it looks like to be conformed to Christ in 21st-century America.

​

Holy Eucharist, also called the Lord's Supper and Communion, is the principle act of Christian worship on Sundays and all other major feast days. But why does it take the shape it does, with readings and prayers and confessions and creeds? What are the core elements of the Eucharistic liturgy, and what do they mean? 

​

This special Eucharist service 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. There will be several pauses throughout the service in which the Rev. Deanna Briody will offer a brief teaching on the upcoming portion of the liturgy, shedding light on why we do what we do in a Eucharist service and inviting us more deeply into the richness, power, and mystery of the worship of the Triune God.

October 2025 / Single day retreat / 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 one-day retreat, we will immerse ourselves in the rich patterns of historical Christian worship and explore the beauty and grace God offers us through the Episcopal tradition.
