Dance Party!
April 25, 2024 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Scripture often talks about dancing as a way of showing our joy before the Lord (Cf. Ecclesiastes 3:4; Lamentations 5:15; Psalm 149:3). Join us in the Assembly Hall for a night to remember. We’ll have some food, some music, and lots of time to mingle. This will be a totally “no judgment” space, so no matter what your skill level, we invite you to let loose and be free!

Mothers of Bedford film screening
May 1, 2024 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Our parish supports the collaboration between Incarnation Camp and our partner in mission, . Over the past few years, Incarnation Camp has enabled kids from Hour Children to attend camp free of charge, and parishioners have generously contributed toward the cost of tuition.
Join us for an exclusive evening of cinema and discussion with the screening of the powerful documentary, Mothers of Bedford, followed by a Q&A session with the director, Jenifer McShane, an Incarnation Camp alumna. This event not only showcases an important social issue—motherhood in prison—but also supports a meaningful cause. All proceeds will support Incarnation Camp scholarships, including for children of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women through Hour Children.
A catered reception begins at 6:00 pm, with the screening starting at 6:30 pm. Cost is $50 per person, and you can register here.

Worship in traditional and contemporary forms, intellectual exploration and practical application of Christian principles characterize our parish.
Office hours are 9:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday.
Open church hours are 8:00 am to 1:00 pm on Sunday, 11:30 am to 2:00 pm on Wednesday, and 5:30 to 7:30 pm on Thursday.
Our Mission
“We love this parish. To us, Incarnation feels like an oasis of calm, beauty, faith and warmth with God all around. The Church of the Incarnation is simply a well run, well organized, and well functioning place. On a deeper level, Incarnation is a church that challenges us to be better Christians.” – Jan
