Worship at Church of the Incarnation
Worship is at the heart of who we are and what we do at the Church of the Incarnation. From the earliest moments of Scripture, when God reveals himself to his people, he calls them into worship. “Take off your shoes,” God says to Moses at the burning bush—an invitation to reverence and awe in the presence of the holy.
Our worship is rooted in the ancient practices of the church and shaped by the beauty of the Episcopal tradition. At the center of our common life is the Holy Eucharist—the service of thanksgiving and praise that Christians have celebrated in one form or another since the earliest days of the Church. As Jesus instructed his disciples to break bread and share wine in remembrance of him, we too gather around the altar to be nourished, strengthened, and sent forth.
In the Eucharist, we are invited into the mystery of God’s love: that God gave his Son for the salvation of the world and continues to send the Holy Spirit to enliven and empower us for lives of compassion, justice, and joy. Through prayer and song, bread and wine, silence and movement, we offer our lives to God and are renewed in God’s grace.
Sunday Worship
On Sundays, we celebrate two services of Holy Eucharist.
8:00 a.m. – A quiet, contemplative service using Rite I from the Book of Common Prayer, rooted in the beauty of traditional language.
10:30 a.m. – A Rite II service with full choir, hymns, and sermon. This is our principal act of worship and includes processions, incense on feast days, and the rich ceremonial tradition of the Anglican heritage.
Weekday Worship
We offer Morning Prayer Monday through Thursday at 8:30 a.m. in the church—a simple and peaceful way to begin the day in Scripture and prayer. On Wednesdays at noon, we celebrate a Healing Eucharist, which includes prayers for healing and the laying on of hands for those who desire it.
The Shape of Our Worship
At Incarnation, our worship blends reverence and joy, formality and welcome. Though we follow the structure and language of the Book of Common Prayer (1979), our worship is alive with gesture, movement, and music. We believe that worship is something we do with our whole selves—body, mind, and spirit. The beauty of the liturgy speaks not only through the words we say, but also through what we do: the bow of the head, the sign of the cross, the light of a candle, the swell of a hymn.
We draw from the depth of our tradition—singing hymns from the Hymnal 1982, offering chants both ancient and news. Whether the liturgy is spoken quietly or sung with full choir, each service is an offering of our lives back to God.
