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).
Blessing of a Pregnancy
Sunday, September 20th, after worship
Congregational Lunch and Liturgy of Blessing
Alisa and Ethan Huston are expecting their first child, and our congregation is thrilled to be welcoming a new life! Mark your calendars for a special congregational lunch and liturgy of blessing.
To support the Hustons in this new chapter of life, we are inviting the congregation to give gift cards from Amazon, Costco, Target, or Babylist. Thank you for your generosity!
Fall Festival
October 31st, 12-3pm, Two Mile Run Park
Food, music, games, crafts, hot drinks, and all sorts of fall festive fun! Invite your neighbors, family, and friends, and join us at Two Mile Run Park to enjoy the riches of the season here in Beaver County.
Spiritual Companionship
in the Poetry of Denise Levertov
Sundays after worship, November 1st-22nd
Join us for a four week class as our own Dr. Shirley Kilpatrick leads us in an exploration of Denise Levertov’s poetry. Levertov, born in 1923, was an avowed agnostic until she converted to Christianity later in life and was received into the Roman Catholic Church. Her poetry is full of spiritual exploration, probing questions, and thoughtful reckoning with the human condition and the mystery of God.
Beginning on November 1st, we will meet for four Sundays after worship to explore Levertov’s poetry through her little collection The Stream and the Sapphire. Books (and lunch) will be provided for all participants, so if you’re planning on participating, please register now.
Incarnation's One-Year Celebration
The First Sunday of Advent, November 29th
On Sunday, November 29th, Incarnation will celebrate one year of weekly worship! So much has happened in the past year, and it is right—and indeed, a good and joyful thing—to remember, celebrate, and give thanks to God. Join us for Holy Eucharist at 11:30 followed by a festive meal and celebration of this exciting milestone in our congregation's life.
The Breakfast Club
The fourth Saturday of every month, 9am
A simple time of fellowship and chat over a meal at the Wooden Spoon on 11th in New Brighton. All are welcome. RSVP to Ed Gomolek at (724) 419-0294 by the Thursday before so we can reserve enough tables!

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."
