Following a festive anniversary celebration in September, members of Incarnation Lutheran Church gathered again for a luncheon in October to celebrate "The Privilege of Sharing," the annual stewardship campaign. "Vision 2021," the master plan for long-term campus development, was unveiled. A Campus Development Team headed this effort, working with The Bordreaux Group, producing a proposal for a four-phase plan to be implemented over the next 15 years.

The congregation recently approved a proposal to purchase a former daycare property as a satellite location of the 25-year-old Child Development Center located on the church campus. Members of Incarnation are responding to a dire need in the community for quality, faith-based childcare forming young children in the faith by teaching them to honor God, themselves, and others.
