E-MINDER: the Church of the Incarnation

← PREVIOUS EMINDER | NEXT EMINDER →

THE WEEK OF APRIL 20 – APRIL 27, 2008

 

 

The Gospel for this upcoming Sunday, April 27, is John 15: 1-8.  In the fifth verse, Jesus says, "I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing."  The image of Jesus as the vine is portrayed above with the twelve apostles as the branches.  The Rector will explore this text is his sermon entitled "Branch Office."    

 

THIS WEEK AT INCARNATION

 

Tuesday, April 22                   7:00 pm. Women's Group meets in the Parish House to discuss "Faith through the Ages."  This will not be a discussion of global religious history, but rather a conversation about our personal growth and journey from childhood questions of faith, to more recent ponderings in our adulthood, to our hopes and fears for the aging process.  There will be beverages and substantial hors d' oeuvres.
