This little birdie gets a bath twice a year. The Incarnation Altar Guild polishes this beautiful brass bird just before Christmas and Easter.
Did you Know? Our lectern in the main church is shaped like an eagle, a common form in the Anglican tradition. The eagle is a symbol of Christ’s divinity and Resurrection, because it is said to be able to gaze unflinchingly at the sun and to renew its youth. The eagle is the special emblem of St. John the Evangelist whose soaring Gospel and Revelation focus especially on the glory of Christ, the Sun of Righteousness. This brass eagle lectern was given to the glory of God and in loving memory of William Mechlin Edwards (1844 –1912) and has served as the place from which God’s word is read each Sunday at Church of the Incarnation for more than 100 years.

WASHINGTON NATIONAL CATHEDRAL
Sacred Sounds of Summer
Incarnation Choir Ministers Through Their Music By: Scott Dettra, Director of Music Music is one of the primary ways in which we worship, love, and serve our Lord Jesus Christ. Through the gift of music, we are ever learning and growing into good relationships with God and one another. And not just within our own congregation but also by reaching out beyond the walls of our church building. The Incarnation Choir has a rich tradition of summer tours, during which they have shared their gifts across the globe, ministering to other congregations and growing in fellowship. In July, 27 members of the Incarnation Choir travelled to Washington, DC, where they sang six choral services in five days as choir-in-residence at Washington National Cathedral. The Cathedral is considered the spiritual home for the nation, and is the seat of the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church. The Cathedral is also a national treasure and an architectural feat, a place of stunning beauty built to inspire. Following their time in Washington, the choir travelled to New York City, where they sang services at Saint Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue and the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine. Saint Thomas is a vibrant, growing parish of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, located in the heart of midtown Manhattan. It is also home to the leading Anglican choir in the United States. We were privileged to welcome the Saint Thomas Choir to Incarnation for a concert last March. Saint John the Divine is the Cathedral for the Diocese of New York. A magnificent and massive building, it is the world’s fourth largest Christian church. Through their music, the choir ministered to more than 2,000 people over the course of their tour, but their music was heard around the world through webcasts at both the National Cathedral and Saint Thomas Church. Choral-led worship is an important part of our legacy. When it is superbly executed, the Anglican tradition and our unique choral heritage can not only fill pews but also fill hearts and minds with the glory of God. In addition to our weekly liturgical music, you can enjoy concerts and recitals throughout the year. Choral Evensong is sung at Incarnation each Sunday afternoon at 5 pm (September–May). Join us for this beautiful and meditative service, and let the beauty of the music carry your prayers to heaven.
Monday, September 29 at 7 pm
The Incarnation Choir will offer Choral Evensong for the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels. This service is offered in conjunction with the Dallas chapter of the American Guild of Organists, for whom this will be the opening event in their program year. The anthem will be A Sequence for St. Michael by Herbert Howells, a rarely heard gem of the Anglican repertoire.
Sunday, October 26 at 4:30 pm
Join us for the Choir of Westminster Abbey, London in concert. Don’t miss your opportunity to hear one of the pre-eminent English choirs. In addition to singing for every English Coronation since that of William the Conqueror in 1066, the choir sings daily services at the Abbey and for many notable national and royal occasions. Most notably they sang at the wedding of Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in April 2011, which was seen by a worldwide television audience of more than 2 billion people. Tickets available at incarnation.org/music.
Tuesday, November 11 at 7 pm
The Incarnation Choir will offer a special Choral Evensong as part of the East Texas Organ Festival. This service will include the Dallas Canticles by Herbert Howells. This service is open to all.
Sunday, December 14 and 21 at At 5 pm
Lessons and Carols has been an Incarnation tradition since 1959. We hope you find it a moving and inspiring way to begin your Christmas celebration. With scripture lessons read by leaders from across our community, and glorious choral music of the season sung by our own Incarnation Choir, this service is not to be missed!
Thursday, March 26 at 7:30 pm
The choir of King’s College, Cambridge will be in concert here at Incarnation. Easily the most famous of English collegiate choirs, King’s College Choir is known around the world for their annual broadcast of Lessons and Carols, upon which our own service is modeled. Tickets available at incarnation.org/music.

FOLLOW ME TAKING STEPS TO ANSWER HIS CALL
As we wait for our buildings to go up, we have an incredible opportunity to assess our faith and make plans for our future. Bishop Burton reminds us that we exist to worship in the great tradition of the church; grow disciples; serve the poor; and raise-up Christian leaders. In the next few months, we're going to focus on growing disciples through a program we are calling 3D Faith. This is a 3-part program that includes a parish-wide survey, a sermon series, and the strategy for all programming at Incarnation going forward. In September, our parish will take an online survey that will help identify our faith strengths, our practices and our beliefs as Christians, and also point out areas where we can grow. The survey is anonymous, but the data we will gather from it will transform our parish into a greenhouse for spiritual growth. Because growth in loving God and loving others is a journey, we want to determine if there are particular beliefs, attitudes, spiritual practices, church activities, and behaviors related to putting the Christian faith into action that would help people to keep moving forward. Momentum is a powerful force on any journey, so knowing what gets people moving and keeps them moving is critical. It begins with each individual and calls for an honest look in the spiritual mirror: What can we say about the reality of our own spiritual lives? Do we have a sense of where we are in the spiritual journey? Do we know where we would like to be? Do we have a hunger, a vision for God’s intention for us? Are we doing and being all we are called to do and be? What would it mean to answer Jesus’ simple call to his disciples: Follow me? Wherever we are, we can go deeper in the life of God, in discipleship of Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit. For each one of us, there is more. That’s what this process is about. How can you help? We need you to take the survey in September, and we need you to encourage your friends and family here at Incarnation to do the same. We hope that what we do with 3D Faith as a parish will become a model and resource to other parishes in our diocese and the Anglican Communion. Pray and participate in this great season in the life of our church.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? SEPTEMBER – Our entire congregation (7th grade and up) will be invited to take an anonymous online survey about their spiritual practices. This survey will give us a never before seen view of our spiritual strengths and growth areas as a parish. We need 100% parish participation for this to be effective. OCTOBER – Clergy at all Sunday services in Traditional and Uptown will preach a four-week sermon series on discipleship, defining it, and addressing the 3D Faith theme: Discover, Deepen and Deliver. NOVEMBER 16 – We will unpack the results of our survey and discover together what our spiritual check-up reveals about ourselves. NOVEMBER 23 – A new strategy will be unveiled for all programming at Incarnation going forward.
WHAT’S YOUR ROLE? TAKE THE SURVEY. The survey is completely anonymous, and we want to hear from all members and regular attenders. A 3D Faith station set up at the church for those who may have questions. Take the survey at incarnation.org/3DFaith. HELP US SPREAD THE WORD. As you hear about 3D Faith and take the survey you will be informed and able to talk to others about what is happening here. Encourage them to take the survey, and be part of the offerings to help them grow in their faith and spiritual practices. RECITE THIS PRAYER. Almighty and ever living God, source of all wisdom and understanding, be present with us as we consider the renewal and mission of our church. Teach us in all things to seek first your honor and glory. Guide us by your Holy Spirit to perceive what is right, and grant us both the courage to pursue it and the grace to accomplish it, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ANGELUS INCARNATION.ORG

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FAQ’s for parishioners about the Spiritual Life Survey is our church conducting a parish survey now? 1 Why After careful evaluation, the clergy, with support of the vestry and staff, have decided to use a research tool called the Spiritual Life Survey to kick-off our new, strategic planning initiative.
2
What is the Spiritual Life Survey (SLS)?
The SLS is an in-depth assessment of an individual parishioner’s spiritual beliefs and practices, including the Church’s role and support. Those individual findings—which are collected anonymously—are then aggregated to depict a parish-wide view. This allows the vestry and clergy to have an in-depth profile of the entire congregation, providing invaluable insights to help guide the strategic planning process. Since this survey was developed in 2004, it has been taken by over 300,000 Christians, representing 15,000 congregations, in more than 19 denominations and non-denominational groups, to assess the ways in which God is working in their parishes. As a result, there is a very robust SLS database with which we can compare and contrast our church’s survey results to help us understand and measure spiritual growth. In the past two years, SLS has been developing a database of Episcopal churches, using a survey adapted to the Episcopal ethos, aware that the culture and call of our denomination is distinct. They are looking for more and more Episcopal churches to be part of this process.
did this survey come from? 3 Where It originated with a large, non-denominational church, and from that beginning in one
congregation, has been used in a wide-range of churches and denominations with great success, providing a large database to use as reference. Since 2009, the survey has been customized by and for Episcopalians, and piloted by over 25 Episcopal churches.
should take the survey? 4 Who We are asking each and all parishioners (7th grade and up) to take the SLS. It’s important that
every parishioners take the survey as beliefs and practices may be quite different from other family members. This includes members who attend infrequently or just started.
do I take the survey? 5 When The survey will be conducted over three weeks: September 7 — 28.

ANGELUS INCARNATION.ORG

How do I take it?
7
How long does it take to complete?
8
The SLS is designed to be an online survey—taken privately and anonymously. We hope as many parishioners as possible will complete the survey online to facilitate processing. The survey can be completed from any computer with internet access. The link for parishioners will be available online September 7 — 28. In addition, the church will be distributing reminder cards with the web link. As part of protecting anonymity, it is impossible to relate answers back to any individual email address. Please note, there will be a 3D Faith headquarters in the Great Hall for the entire month of September. Staff and volunteers will be available at the 3D Faith headquarters to answer any questions you may have.
Most respondents finish the survey in 30 minutes, but be sure to take your time to read the survey prompts and reflect on your spirituality and spiritual formation. The survey must be completed in one session.
When will the Church-wide results be available and what will be done with them?
After the survey is completed, a group including clergy, the wardens, and members of the vestry and staff will process the parish data as a whole. The overall survey data and results will be shared with the parish on November 16 at 10:20 am in the Great Hall. The strategic plan will be shared on Sunday, November 23 at 10:20 am in the Great Hall. The goal of the process is to focus on current programs, to strengthen what the community does well, and identify areas where the community can improve or grow.
10
TAKE SURVEY
What if I don’t understand some of the questions or am not familiar with some of language used?
Answer as best you can, but please complete the survey. Given that the survey originally has been used with a variety of denominations and many non-denominational churches, it is likely you will encounter a phrase or description that may be different from what an Episcopalian may use.

What if I have additional questions?
If you have questions about the survey or its place in the church’s planning process, please contact a member of the clergy, vestry, or the church office. The vestry and clergy are poised to lead the parish into a new season of discernment and planning. The survey is the first step on this journey.

One parishioner’s account of serving as a mentor to a North Dallas High School student
BY: MICHELLE ANDERSON Four years ago, I met Enedina—or Ene, as she likes to be called. When we first met, she was a very shy Freshman who spoke only Spanish. School was difficult for her as her entire high school education was in English, including books, lectures, and tutoring. Her family and friends only spoke Spanish. This language isolation is challenging to many students at North Dallas High School. I was encouraged to join the Incarnation STARS mentoring program with Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) many years ago. Being a “BIG” is challenging, exciting, rewarding, and at times heartbreaking. There are many trials these young North Dallas High School students face in today’s fast-paced, technologydriven world.
The last four years have been fun and allowed me to connect with memories of my own high school days and those of my three grown children. And, I am proud to say that Ene graduated last month. I am very glad that I stayed with the program for all four years, but I'm even more grateful that Ene did. She has plans to go to Brookhaven College this fall where she will study Nursing. Her goal is to complete an associate’s degree in nursing and get a job. Once she does that, she wants to continue to go to school while working and continuing her education.
Church of the Incarnation’s relationship with North Dallas High School gives us an incredible opportunity to make a difference in these students’ lives. I not only got to know Enedina—she calls me Sis like any little sister would—but I It is important for the students to know that someone special, also got to know others from this church. I made friends in like a “BIG”, believes in them. Many times, the program, and Enedina made friends showing attention is as simple as visiting with students in the program as well. or checking on your “LITTLE”, letting I’m thankful that she stuck with the her know someone cares and will listen Incarnation STARS Big Brothers Big “ONE PERSON without judgment.

Watching Ene learn to swim and ride a bike filled her Ene's life probably isn't that different from with confidence and pride. My fondest most kids at North Dallas High School, memory came when her family asked me to join them for one except that she is very fortunate in one respect. Her parents are of their favorite holidays at church in December; it was a still happily married, and they adore her. Many students in the 5 am service complete with mariachis celebrating Our Lady program live with one parent or a relative. Many are homeless, of Guadalupe with incredibly delicious Mexican hot chocolate sleeping on a friend or relative’s couch, and living out of a and treats afterward. backpack. One day she admitted to me that it was God's intervention that provided her with all she has today. As she headed to a mandatory tutoring class after school, she wandered into the wrong classroom and signed her name. It seemed a bit odd to her that they needed her contact information, but she gave it nonetheless. Unbeknownst to her at the time, she signed up for SMU’s Upward-Bound program. This was life changing for Ene. She told me that God was watching out for her and led her to the classroom that day. She has gone to summer school at SMU, and the program took her to look at schools like Austin College, Texas A&M, and UT. For the first time, she stayed in a hotel and was very excited to tell me that hotels had such things as hidden beds in couches. These are things she had never seen before.
These kids have dreams and hopes for their futures. Their families and their parents, in particular, have dreams for their children as we all do. They dream their kids will go to universities, have a better life, and be the first person in their family to get a degree. Every mother and father has a dream for their child—our basic common link is that we all inhabit the same planet; we all breathe the same air; we all cherish our children’s future; and we are Uptown neighbors. We have the opportunity to help shape a child’s future for the better by empowering them to achieve. And the best part is, it’s actually a lot of fun.
