Begins September 4 9:30 – 11:15 a.m. in the Dining Room

For more details go to www.incarnation.org/moms-talk

Moms Talk was started in 2010 as a place for moms with kids of all ages to get to know each other and be uplifted spiritually and practically. It meets twice a month beginning in September, with one meeting dedicated to nurturing moms’ souls through Biblical teaching and the other meeting featuring special speakers on topics such as organization, marriage, discipline, etc. Mentor Moms, whose children are out of the nest, are available to share wisdom and prayer support to the moms who are still “in the thick of it!"

HERE IS WHAT SOME OF THE ATTENDEES ARE SAYING:

“I love Mom's Talk because it provides an environment for healthy relationships between older and younger moms. We apply Christian virtues from bible study, talk about things in a small group that make us want to excel as women, wives and mothers as well as have opportunities to learn more efficient ways to build our homes with excellence. I

wish every mom could participate in this 2 hour time with women from Incarnation and community.” — Elizabeth Steed, Mentor Mom & past coordinator

One of my favorites things about Mom's Talk has been getting to know some of the wise women in our church...who have traveled this road of motherhood before us! — Amy Theriot, participant

“My favorite thing about Mom's Talk is getting to know these remarkable young women and seeing them in church with their families. I so enjoy sharing in their joys and struggles and just having fun with them.” — Chris Adams, Mentor Mom

“Moms Talk is such a time of refreshment for my heart! I love connecting with other moms to encourage each other in marriage, motherhood, and personal study of the Scriptures. I look forward to every meeting, resting in the knowledge that no matter where I am at physically, emotionally, or spiritually, Moms Talk is a safe place where I can lay bare my heart and be real about my struggles and joys with such a welcoming, supportive, encouraging group of women! Sweet friendships, great teaching, delicious food, and free childcare keep me coming back! :)” — Brittney Van Swearingen, participant

What fun we had exploring and growing in God at Jonathan Creek Summer Camp!

We were excited to send 43 students and chaperons to summer camp this year at Jonathan Creek in Hardin, Kentucky. Studies centered around

John 3:30 — "He must become greater; I must become less." In the mornings, students were divided into bible study groups along with the 758 other participants — this year's camp was the largest ever!

The afternoons were filled with fun activities such as zip lining, alpine climbing, kayaking, and lake sports. In the evenings,

John Richter led the students in a large worship service. This year's mission emphasis was on

raising funds and awareness for the people of Haiti.

growth groupsSTORIES OF BELONGING

For me, plugging into Incarnation was a somewhat slow process. In 2008, my husband and I had just moved to Dallas and were looking for a church community. We had been a part of a church in Boston that had a potluck coffee hour each Sunday, which served as a focus of the church community. We easily found good conversation and fellowship there and even met new friends we could invite over for a party or meet out for a drink. When we attended Incarnation for the first time, we loved the 11:15 traditional service from beginning to end and immediately knew this was our church home. When the service was over, however, we walked through the hallway looking for a cup of coffee and people to meet but found that most had already gone home. What I came to learn was that there were indeed opportunities for making friends here, but one of those was not at that precise moment around 12:45 p.m. when everyone was rushing off to brunch or their Sunday naps, or to the piles of work waiting to be completed before the work week officially began.

A year or so into our time at Incarnation, we joined a startup Growth Group. “Group” was a bit of an exaggeration at the beginning. As in, one time it was three people who barely knew each other awkwardly sitting in our den. One of those three people was me and another was my husband; it was small. Nonetheless, we ate together; we consumed beverages. We talked about what really matters in life and faith, and we prayed. Over time, this small gathering grew in size and in closeness. I slowly began to accumulate recognizable faces to say hello to or to sit with on Sundays. I learned more about the church and how to get involved. The people who came to our growth group each week became my church friends. We talked about God, about our hopes and struggles, about what it means to be a Christian as a 20- or 30-something with a budding career and while navigating vital relationships in Dallas, Texas. We talked about our church and how we could help it become better, and we served together.

And then these church friends became my real friends: the first people I texted for a dinner or a happy hour after a harrowing work week, the people with whom I shared sorrows and frustrations, laughs and the greatest joys of my life. And just like real friends, even at times the people who I don’t see as much as I’d like but who I think about and pray for daily and who I know do the same for me. These people brought meals during the sleep-deprived first weeks with a newborn when peeling the top of a yogurt container took more time than I had to spare. Growth Group friends came to the last party thrown at our first house and saw my daughter smash her face into her first birthday cake (ever so gracefully, of course). We have shared initiatives and service experiences and have been alongside one another through layoffs and promotions, losses, breakups, and new beginnings.

The thing about real church friends is that they make the love of Christ as expressed through the church more tangible than it could otherwise be. The church is an imperfect place, but God has made this place for us. And for those like me who never quite reach the heights of personal spiritual discipline, it is quite possibly the best way to experience Him with any kind of regularity in our busy and fickle world. Without relationships and friendships within the church, we struggle to fully lock in and engage with the body of Christ. I did, anyway. Becoming involved in a Growth Group was not only a source of dear friends but was also, I believe, an instrumental way in which the Holy Spirit opened up my own sense of deep belonging and purpose here at COTI.

Part 5 of a 6-Part Series on Understanding Our Community, and How to Reach Out to ThemBy Deacon Dorothy Budd and the Mission & Outreach Ministry Department

Communityof75204+ A story of contrast, challenge, and compassion From a story of families and change

center on communities and education

Understanding a neighborhood and the people that live in it requires more than simply compiling statistics. Therefore, gathering reliable data about our neighborhood, our neighbors, the schools their children attend and the service providers they rely on, was only the first step in our demographic study. Once the numbers were in, the crucial task of listening to the voices of our community could begin.

FOCUS GROUPSTo ensure that we heard the perspectives of the people of our zip code, we initiated a series of five facilitated focus groups. We gathered representatives from the schools themselves, the teachers in the schools, the parents raising their children here, the community liaisons who provide a vital link between the schools and the community, and from nonprofit providers who offer services in our neighborhood.

In these focus groups, conversations were generated and new relationships were formed. With information we learned from our focus groups, coupled with analysis of the data, we had a more complete picture of what life is like for our neighbors in 75204. We discovered that as troubling economic times, demographic shifts, and loss of long-term service providers has occurred, community members have come to rely on each other for support. In many ways they have learned, even in the face of scarcity, change and uncertainty, to work together to discover how to “make it work.”

However, there remain some significant concerns that continue to affect the lives of our neighbors in 75204.


FAMILY ENGAGEMENT• Much of parents' concerns focus on time. They don't have time to help with homework due to work. They don't have time to help at school due to work or lack of childcare for other children. They can't work a popular shift because it includes after school hours.• Parents don't know what, how, or who to ask for help. Even though schools may have flyers posted or send home notices with students, that does not necessarily mean parents see or can read the information.

HOMELESSNESS AND HUNGER• Homeless students do not have a consistent place to sleep at night but want to stay in school each day.• Children may lose lunch money to older students and miss meals at school.

COMMUNITY STRENGTHENING• Parents need assistance following through with opportunities afforded by support services (i. e. getting to and following up with health service appointments)• Hispanic adults need help mastering English language skills to enable better communication with neighborhood and professional community members.• The mixture of upper and lower income neighborhoods create a cultural divide.• There is a historical divide between African American and Hispanic neighborhoods.

ACADEMIC AND SCHOOL POTENTIAL• School provides a safe environment for students when it is in session, but after school and during the summer, most neighborhoods do not have a safe, supervised place for children to go.• Adults wanting education classes for language proficiency, job skills, GED acquirement, etc. are unsure of where to turn for help.• Parents need academic support for their education (i.e. language skills, technology skills, and studying for the GED)• Parents need academic support for their children ( i.e. how to help with homework)

ECONOMIC PREPAREDNESS• Parents need life support (i.e. job seeking skills, how to raise children, transportation, providing basic needs for their children)• Families need to know what additional resources can be used when organizations that provide assistance have limited funds.• Service providers that used to help families have relocated to areas too far away for continual use of their aid. It is unknown if other providers have filled the void.


These concerns form both the challenges and the opportunities that surround our neighbors and their families. It was clear that Church of the Incarnation is considered a source of strength, stability and encouragement in the neighborhood, but that more remains to be done. In our final installment of this series, we will share the obvious gaps in services that call us to prayerful reflection of how our church can be a catalyst for strengthening our neighborhood while embodying Christ’s call to us as His disciples to “love our neighbors as ourselves.”

FAMILY ENGAGEMENT• Students have adult responsibilities at home that take priority over education, which also leads to behavioral concerns and chronic absenteeism.• Parents and school staff have difficulty communicating updated contact information, and need homework help.

HOMELESSNESS AND HUNGER• Homeless youth need assistance with basic requirements, such as clean clothes and the ability to shower.• Homeless youth need counseling and social support services.• Though some schools offer free breakfast, students don't always arrive in time to receive it.• Parents are afraid to fill out paperwork to receive free and/or reduced lunch.• Schools wishing to participate in the Backpack Program have difficulty providing transportation required to pick up the food.

COMMUNITY STRENGTHENING• Funding for maintaining the community liaison position (the school/families go-between) at schools is limited.• Lack of cultural/racial awareness leads to negative social behaviors, impacting positive social student interactions, especially at A.W. Spence and North Dallas High School.• A perception is that Hispanic parents do not see the importance of post-secondary opportunities for their children.

ACADEMIC AND SCHOOL POTENTIAL• School funding issues have decreased the ability to offer after school programming across grade levels.• After school offerings lack diversity, consisting mainly of tutoring programs instead of extended day programming.• Most after school programs do not include opportunities for students from kindergarten through third grade.• More opportunities are needed to encourage elementary and middle school students and parents to begin thinking about college.• Schools are unsure of how to motivate high school students and parents to attend college preparation programs (i.e. college fairs, financial aid workshops)• LEP students need more academic support to become successful in the classroom and the opportunity to achieve a post-secondary education.

ECONOMIC PREPAREDNESS• Lack of after school programming impedes parent's ability to seek employment, since most cannot afford to pay for childcare services.

InternationalLiving WaterAt the beginning of May, seven parishioners from Incarnation embarked on a journey to Houston, to participate in well drilling training camp. Our objective: to learn how to use a portable rig (called the LS-100) to drill for fresh water wells in developing countries. Living Water International (LWI), the organization behind the training camp, goes to numerous third world countries throughout the year and digs 300+ wells every year. Through organizations like LWI we have become more aware of the desperate water shortages in other countries and as our own capacity to meet that need has grown, training was inevitable.

According to wateraid.org, 748 million people worldwide do not have access to safe water. During a trip to Haiti, LWI coordinator Chris Hough was asked if it was true that Americans washed their cars with drinking water because safe water was so hard to find and sustain. Living Water International came into existence to combat this very problem. They created the LS-100 drill rig to be portable and relatively lightweight so that teams could take it to remote areas of the world where big drill rigs could not reach. The rig is designed to drill up to 100 feet into the earth, through soft-to-medium formations (i.e. sand, gravel, clay, soft stone), and can be operated by a minimum of two people. LWI wanted to give the gift of clean sustainable water to those without it and use clean water as an avenue to tell people about Christ’s love.

After Incarnation completed a successful well in Honduras in 2013, we wanted to explore the possibility of drilling more wells. Soon the opportunity came to drill at least 3 more wells in

2014–2015 and we wanted to be prepared. The camp started on Sunday evening with orientation and dinner. Monday morning we threw on our old jeans and t-shirts, caked on the sunscreen, and went out to the drill sites. There were 16 people in training, broken up into 4 teams of 4. We constructed our own rigs, learned the names of all the parts, drilled our holes, laid our casings (the PVC piping the water travels through), constructed our pumps, and pumped out fresh water. People came from Washington, Colorado, California and Texas to participate and it was a time of fellowship and intense training. Water is essential for all things to live and thrive; many times it can determine the stability of families and entire communities. Children all across the globe remain sick every day because the water they drink is unsafe. Clean water is a fundamental need that we can help to fill and share God’s love with His creations.

sunday, august 17, 2014The inaugural Incarnation Heritage Day, sponsored by The Incarnation Foundation, will commemorate the vibrant history of the parish that

has shaped who we are and the surrounding community. Please join us at 10:15 a.m. for refreshments, a short program and an opportunity to place your prayers for the future of Church of

the Incarnation on our expanding campus.

topics for journal entries could include:Life at Incarnation: Tell us about your favorite experience at Incarnation.

A Testimony of Faith: How is your life different because of your relationship with God and this church?

Expressions of Gratitude: How have you been blessed by God and this church? Be specific and personal. Reach beyond the most common expressions of gratitude for family, wealth, and health. Prayers for the Future: What are the needs of the community? How do we address them? What vision do you have for the future of the parish?

Think about how interesting it could be for future parishioners to read first-hand accounts of our daily lives, our passions, and what motivates us to get out of bed each day?

please make a contribution

to our time capsule

Now is a time of great change, and what better way to celebrate such change than to share our good works with future parishioners. In early 2015, we expect to memorialize the cornerstone of the new sanctuary. At that time, we will also seal and store a time capsule to be opened on the 200th anniversary of the Church in 2085.

Consider making a contribution to the time capsule that honors your experience at Incarnation. Since space is limited and our congregation is large, we ask you to contribute a one-page journal entry for a book we plan to compile.

If you prefer, you may also print the document and handwrite your answers. Mail the printed versions to The Incarnation Foundation, 3966 McKinney Avenue, Dallas TX 75204.

Please join us as our rector, Bishop Tony Burton and The Incarnation Foundation board members, Mark LaRoe and Cynthia Krause share

stories about gifts that transcend this lifetime and enable Incarnation to continue building God’s Kingdom now and for years to come.

Let us know if you and your guests will attend by calling Carol Kadel at 214.521.5610.
