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).
The Breakfast Club
The fourth Saturday of the month
10am at The Wooden Spoon on 11th
913 11th Ave. New Brighton
A simple time of fellowship and chat over a meal. All are welcome.
The Bishop's Visit: Confirmation and Reception
Sunday, June 28th, 11:30am
Bishop Ketlen is visiting Incarnation and will be confirming and receiving several of our members into the Episcopal Church. Come for our service of Holy Eucharist, Confirmation, and Reception at 11:30, followed by a festive meal together.
Wounds: A Conversation
on Broken Bodies and Union with Christ
Friday, August 28th, 7pm
Merchant Coffee Company
922 Merchant St. Ambridge
Come hear local theologian Dr. Laura Cerbus present on woundedness in the Christian life, helping us explore questions like, "How should we understand our own wounds, whether figurative or literal? Can anything good come from the evil of pain and suffering? What does it mean to be ugly or beautiful, broken or whole?"
Afterwards, we'll have a panel discussion with writer and chaplain John Bryant and Episcopal Priest Rev. Bonnie-Marie Yager, diving deeper into the topic of woundedness, suffering, and redemption in the Christian life.
Come grab a drink at Merchant Coffee Company and sink into a rich conversation about a topic so pressingly important for all of us: as creatures with bodies that break and minds that fail, how do we endure in hope?
Children's Retreat
A half-day retreat for children 3 and up
Date TBD
Children are members of the community of faith and need spiritual care just like adults. In this half-day retreat designed for kids 3-13, we’ll engage in various crafts, music, and activities to invite children deeper into God’s goodness and beauty, and help form them in the faith and worship of the Church. Stay tuned for more details!

"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."
