Today is the 7th Sunday of Easter.Today’s lectionary readings are Acts 1:6-14; Psalm 68:1-10, 32-35; 1 Peter 4:12-14; 5:6-11 and John 17:1-11. But for today, we take special passages from Matthew 25:31-40 and Jeremiah 29:4-7, since we observe this Sunday as
Mission Sunday.
We give special thanks to Donna Anderson for today’s special message.
She’s been working for Faith Community Homes for many years.
As announced, there will be Holy Communion every Sunday after Sunday service for those who missed the first Sunday’s Holy Communion and for those who want to have healing moments and special time with God. Anyone is welcome to remain in the sanctuary and participate.
Next Sunday is The Day of Pentecost as well as Mother’s Day. The Season after Pentecost in the Christian Year, called Ordinary Time, is a period of growth. So the churches emphasize Jesus’ teachings about the
Kingdom of
God during this season.

Safe SanctuariesIn order to comply with the need to keep our children safe, we ask parents to accompany their children if the need arises for them to leave the morning worship. Thank you.
Bring In Your Used Ink Cartridges!We have started another new box (green and white, located in the Narthex). We just received $25.75 for the second box of cartridges we have sent in! Good going! Please continue to bring your used cartridges in and help save them from overcrowding the landfills and Incarnation benefits as well!
Have you ever tried praying early in the morning?Please come this Saturday at 6 a.m. You will have a chance to experience His presence with you. It is a blessing!
The Men’s Group Meets Wednesday Mornings at 7:30AM for breakfast, discussion, and planning local mission work projects. This is not a Bible study, but a discussion group that promotes daily Christian living. Please come and join us. It is fun!
Thursday Evening Bible Study Meets at 7:30 p.m. On weeks when Ad Council meets, we will meet at 6:00 p.m. We will continue studying on the Fruit of the Spirit. The purpose of the study is to allow the Holy Spirit to use the Word of God to produce His fruit in our life.
Incarnation KidsIt meets Sundays after the Children’s Chat. They meet so that children ages 3-7 may have a chance to worship in their own style.
To the Congregation of the Church of the IncarnationI would like to thank you all for opening your hearts and church to me. Your “good mornings” and smiles every Sunday helped me start my week off on a positive note.
Thank you for making me feel loved, when I was so far away from home.
Thank you again,Stephanie
It’s Time for Lawn Mowing to Begin!It is that beautiful time of year again, when everything blooms and the grass grows green. Pick a week to ride the lawn mower around Incarnation’s beautiful grounds. The Green Sign-Up Sheet is located on the bulletin board across from the church office. If you would like to take a turn and are unsure how to work the mower, one of the Trustees will help you.
The Spring Work Day Has Been RescheduledThis important day will now be on Saturday, May 17, from 8:00AM to Noon. More information will come later. Please contact Tom Rutenber or
Gary Andersen if you are interested in helping.
New Metal Doors!New doors have been installed on the North entrance and the Patio entrance. They lock and unlock differently than before, but use the same key as before. Please contact Pastor Moon, Tom Rutenber,
Gary Andersen or Tami if you have any questions.
Adult Sunday SchoolDuring the month of April, we are reading some of the best-loved passages and some of the most troublesome passages in the Bible. Together we are attempting to wrestle the words into submission so that these scriptures can guide us in our daily lives. Join us at 8:45 a.m. in the library as
Kathy Jacobs teaches from Favorite Bible Passages and Troublesome Bible Passages. Completely submissive cookies will complement the challenge.
