OUR MISSION AND OUR VISION

Our Mission Statement:

Over the next few years The Church of the Incarnation will focus on helping each other to experience the love of Jesus Christ by providing opportunities to deepen our spiritual journeys through:

  • A Ministry of Welcome
  • Creative use of Liturgy
  • Study of Scripture
  • Programs of Personal Enrichment


FISHER GARDEN TOUR 2008

This tour raised over $10,000 in 2006, which began the funding for Kids4Peace.   In 2007 we raised over $20,000 for the Incarnation Haiti Initiative, which is being used to build a school in Cange, Haiti.  Once again 100% of the 2008 proceeds will continue our school building in Haiti.

Tickets are one sale at the church for $25.00.  You can order tickets over the phone 828-526-2968 (we take MasterCard or Visa).  Or you can come by the church on the corner of 5th and Main Street.  

The dates are July 5th, July 19th, July 26th, and Aug. 2nd.  You can purchase tickets for 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, or 1:00.  Everyone must meet at the Macon Bank Gazebo to get a pass for the tour.

New this year is a PLANT LIST (click to get a PDF list of a comprehensive plant list)

There will also be a conservation dimension to the tour.

 

 

 

 

 



Who?
We need you! This tour is a perfect opportunity for someone who loves plants, loves Incarnation, loves meeting new people, and has a passion for outreach. Some of you did this last year, so you know the drill. Some of you are being asked as you read this email.

The needs are:
6 docents to be on the grounds, and answer questions about plants, garden locations, history, etc.
2 people at the Macon Bank Gazebo to send off carpools to the Fisher's estate, and entrance pass (name tags).
5 parking attendants to help people find spaces, and shuttle people from parking to the garden (minivans needed).
Please respond by indicating the dates you would like to volunteer. We are hoping to create two teams of 13-15 people. If you know anyone else who would be interested, feel free to forward this email to them.

What's new?
This year we will feature a conservation dimension to the tour (information about ways to personally improve the environment).

We will also have a PLANT LIST! In the interest of conservation, we will charge $1 for this list, which will be available for those who would REALLY
like one.
