Join us this summer for Parents' Circle - a reading group focused on parenting and faith! We will be reading the fantastic book Parenting From The Inside Out: How A Deeper Self-Understanding Can Help You Raise Children Who Thrive by Daniel Siegel and Mary Hatzell. While this book is focused on the practical dimensions of developmental neuroscience, we will use the readings as a springboard to explore our parenthood holistically, exploring how we are (and who we are becoming!) influences our parenting. We will host six sessions that cover the following topics:
July 16: Remembering and Seeing
July 23: Feeling and Telling
July 30: Connecting
August 6: Storytelling
August 13: Repairing Ruptures
August 20: Reflecting with Compassion and Faith
Our reading group runs from Thursday, July 16-Thursday, August 20, 2020 from 8:00-8:45 PM (ending in time to get to Compline). Register on Realm or by clicking here.

Operation Feed the Front!
The work continues!
Even though we met our original goal, we are continuing to bring food to frontline workers and our neighbors with food insecurity every day. Please continue to donate here!
Thanks to you, we continue to provide over 1,000 meals a week to hospitals in Queens and Nassau counties as the volume of Covid 19 patients is declining day by day. The need continues, and essential workers at hospitals across our area continue to serve heroically and selflessly.
We are grateful for your support. As we continue to support these workers as well as communities with significant food insecurity, please consider a donation to sustain this effort.
Flower Memorials
Each week the tower entryway to the Cathedral will be prepared with flowers, the High Altar Cross, prayers and a weekly meditation. It is an opportunity for all “who pass our way” to stop for reflection and prayer. If you would like to remember your loved ones, offer thanksgiving or honor someone please email Shirley at cathedral@incarnationgc.org.

Special Prayer
God of healing and hope, in Jesus you meet us in our places of pain and fear. Look with mercy on those who have contracted the new virus, on any who are vulnerable, and on all who feel in danger. Through this time of global concern, by your Holy Spirit bring out the best not the worst in us. Make us more aware of our interdependence on each other, and of the strength that comes from being one body in you. Through Christ, our wounded healer. Amen.
--The Rev. Dr. Samuel Wells, St, Martin in the Fields, London
