UPCOMING EVENTS AND SPECIAL SERVICES
The life of the Church extends beyond Sunday mornings. At Incarnation, we gather often to grow in the apostolic teaching, spend time in fellowship, and be shaped by the presence of God in prayer and worship. Attending is an act of exploration, not commitment. All are welcome!
"They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers" (Acts 2:42).
Instructed Eucharist
Saturday, September 12, 10:30am
819 Washington Ave. Monaca
Have you ever wondered why clergy wear robes during worship? Or why we carry a cross into the center of the aisle during the Gospel reading? Or why people bow and cross themselves at different points in the service? Or what on earth we're doing when we "lift up our hearts" during the Eucharistic prayer?
During this Eucharist, we'll walk through the service with a focus on instruction, pausing at various points throughout the liturgy to teach about the origin and purpose of our liturgical practices. Whether you've never been to Incarnation before, or you're a long-time Episcopalian, all are welcome to come and learn something about how God meets us through our worship.

Blessing of the Animals

On the Feast Day of St. Francis, Incarnation will gather in a local park at 5pm to bless pets of all sorts! Bring your dog, cat, bird, hamster, etc. on a leash or in a cage, and enjoy God's delight in all the creatures he has made.
On this Sunday, we will also have a congregational lunch and teaching on St. Francis immediately after Holy Eucharist. Mark your calendar and plan to join us!

Highlights from Past Events
WOUNDS:
A CONVERSATION ON BROKEN BODIES AND UNION WITH CHRIST
AUGUST 22, 2026
MERCHANT COFFEE HOUSE, AMBRIDGE
"By willingly subjecting himself to wounding, Christ transforms woundedness—and by extension, all bodily frailty—from the certainty of corruption and imperfection to the possibility of participation in Christ’s generous love."
- Dr. Laura Cerbus
Through the presence of the crucified Christ, our suffering becomes a place where we can, mysteriously, commune with God in faith, abide with God in hope, and be opened more fully to the world in love.

"It can be easy to think of the life of faith as a series of dramatic, exceptional moments.
As human beings, we often go looking for signs and wonders, bright lights, fire from heaven. And don’t get me wrong, sometimes God does things that way. Sometimes God’s work is accompanied by a boom and a flash. But God works in quieter ways too, and if we trust the witness of the Church throughout the ages, these quieter ways are not so much the exception as the rule.
More often than not, God offers his saving love to us through means at once so ordinary and so strange that we may be tempted to refuse the invitation that God holds out to us through them: through the waters of baptism, through bread and wine, through the ministry of nobody messengers, through the life and worship of the Church as a whole.
But make no mistake, friends, these are nothing less than acts of God."
