E-MINDER: the Church of the Incarnation

<< PREVIOUS EMINDER | NEXT EMINDER >>

The Week of May 6 - May 13, 2007

 

This week the church remembers Dame Julian of Norwich: learn her story here.  She was an anchoress and a mystic (and, evidently, a cat-owner; see below).  Her meditations are contained in the book Revelations of Divine Love.    

 

 

Lord God, in your compassion you granted to the Lady Julian many revelations of your nurturing and sustaining love: Move our hearts, like hers, to seek you above all things, for in giving us yourself you give us all; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

 

 

THIS WEEK AT INCARNATION:

 

Wednesday, May 9:

12:15 pm. Holy Eucharist

  6:30 pm. Holy Eucharist with homily.

 

 Friday, May 11:

                                    12:15 pm. Holy Eucharist with Prayer for Healing.

  6:30 pm onward.  A Parish Benefit to raise funds to repair the roof will be held at the Linburn residence.  The evening will include cocktails, a buffet supper, and music provided by Andrew Ousley.  Levels of giving are set at seventy-five dollars per person, thirty-five for persons under 35, and one hundred fifty dollars for patrons.  If you received an invitation in the mail, please respond with the enclosed reply card; otherwise, please call the church to RSVP, 212-689-6350.  We hope you’ll support this effort and attend the event.
