Sandwich Sunday

Every third Sunday of the month, parishioners and visitors are invited to the Parish Dining Room at 12:30 pm to help make sandwiches for delivery to a nearby homeless drop-in center. Please join us!

Storytime and Plant Workshop for Kids

Saturday, October 25, 10:00 to 11:30 am. Join parishioner Michael Wang, author of Leif’s Gift, in the Assembly Hall for our first Family Ministries event of the school year! Leif’s Gift is about a little boy’s generosity that teaches us the best gifts are the ones we grow. After a special reading, Michael will demonstrate plant propagation, and children can decorate a small pot to plant their future roots in. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. All children are welcome and must attend with a parent or caregiver. If you’ve been wanting to introduce the Church of the Incarnation to friends, this is a great opportunity! Space is limited, registration is required. Sign up through Eventbrite.

"An Evening in Paris"

Thursday, October 30, 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Join us for a Parisian inspired reception that is part of our 2026 Stewardship Campaign: Tell Out My Soul. We’ll be joined by the Rev. Yejide Peters Pietersen, Associate Dean and Director for Formation of Berkeley Divinity School at Yale, and our guest preacher for Commitment Sunday, November 9. Yejide will offer some remarks about faithful stewardship, and we’ll enjoy drinks, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and musical entertainment. Célébrons! There is no cost to attend. RSVP today!

Halloween Bingo at Moravian Open Door

Saturday, November 1, 6:00 to 8:00 pm. Parishioners are invited to Moravian Open Door (347 E. 18th St.) for a Halloween bingo party with the residents. Be ready for some fun tricks to go along with the treats!

Crossroads Youth Art Exhibit

Saturday, November 8, 12:00 to 3:00 pm. Incarnation will host an art exhibit created by youth participants in Art Club, a program at Crossroads Juvenile Center. Crossroads is a maximum-security detention facility in Brooklyn that is operated by the Division of Youth and Family Justice within the New York City Administration for Children’s Services. Since 2023, Art Club has provided communal and music-making time for youth ages 13-20 in pretrial detention. Come to the exhibit in the Assembly Hall (enter through the Parish House) to support these young people! Refreshments will be served, and you can write notes of encouragement to the artists.

Butterball Turkey Drive

As part of our ministry to children of incarcerated parents, Incarnation is hosting a drive for Thanksgiving turkeys from Butterball! Our goal is to purchase 25 Butterball gift cards for $25 each. Will you help us reach our “25 for 25” goal? Gift cards will be presented to families served by the Osborne Association on Saturday, November 22, when we host a special meal and mask-making event for children of incarcerated parents in the parish Assembly Hall. Click here to donate!

Masks of Gratitude with the Osborne Association

Saturday, November 22, 12:00 to 2:00 pm. Children whose parents have been affected by the criminal justice system will gather in the Assembly Hall to enjoy a Thanksgiving-style lunch and decorate “masks of gratitude”—a way of celebrating the season and sharing their feelings of thankfulness. The event is in partnership with the Osborne Association, part of our ministry (along with Hour Children) to children of incarcerated parents. We’re also planning to create a gallery of the finished masks, to be displayed at Incarnation and at Osborne. Volunteers are needed to set up before the event, help during the event, and clean up afterward. If you’d like to volunteer, contact Archdeacon Denise LaVetty.

If you have a favorite prayer practice, devotional book, Bible verse or other source of spiritual nourishment, contact the clergy to share it with the larger Incarnation community. Submissions in writing or video recording (up to 2 minutes) are welcome. Thank you for helping us “encourage one another and build each other up” as the Body of Christ. (1 Thess. 5:11).
