This past Sunday, Incarnation Anglican Church (Arlington, VA) celebrated Candlemas and World Mission Sunday.

The mission team had a chance to share about their trip and ways we can pray and support our partners in West Asia, then we closed our time by praying and singing together.

World Mission Sunday is an opportunity to renew our commitment to being Jesus’ witnesses to the ends of the world, give thanks for cross-cultural workers and our brothers and sisters in the faith around the world, and ask God to raise up those who would be willing to go to the more than 3 billion people around the world who have not yet heard the good news of Jesus Christ. 

Altogether, this logo is meant to be a picture of the Incarnation: God made tangible in a particular time and place, among a particular people with particular stories. It's a creative imagining of the Message paraphrase of John 1:14: "The Word became flesh and moved into the neighborhood." 

Bishop Chris participated in celebrating St. Nicholas during his visit to Incarnation Anglican in Arlington, VA.

Sitting this morning at my desk I was ‘remembering’ this past Sunday (September 13) in the park when Incarnation gathered and celebrated two years from ‘going public’ on Sept 9, 2018. Two years of unity.
