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).
Christian Formation
Sunday Afternoons, 819 Washington Ave. Monaca
Beginning February 15th after church, we will begin a Christian Formation class on the Apostolic Faith that is designed to prepare people for confirmation or reception into the Episcopal Church. This will also be a good opportunity for anyone looking to learn more about what we believe and profess here at Incarnation. This class will be less about mastering information, and more about being apprenticed in a way of praying, believing, and belonging.
Food will be provided, so please let us know you're coming.

"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."

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.​"
