The Rev. Steven Breedlove // Exodus 12:21-28; Psalm 40:1-10; 1 Corinthians 1:1-9; John 1:29-42

In this special Sunday School lesson, we explore the Gospel of John as a retelling of the Exodus story. Tracing themes of deliverance, worship, living water, and new creation helps illuminate how John presents Jesus as the one who forms God's people as His children. The discussion moves toward a reflection on the Church as a kingdom of priests, with forgiveness at the heart of Christian vocation, inviting us to read Scripture more attentively and to consider how these themes shape both faith and daily life.⛪ Church of the Incarnation is an Anglican (ACNA) parish in western Henrico, Virginia, committed to:

The total "Care Economy," which includes both paid and unpaid care, is currently valued at roughly $6 trillion (nearly a quarter of U.S. GDP), and experts warn it is at risk of significant contraction due to these labor shortages. Today, we talk with Mary Helen Crowder, Home Health Aide Instructor, at the ACE Center at Hermitage, about what Henrico County Schools are doing to do their part to close the healthcare labor gap. We were visited by one of Mary's outstanding students and spoke with her about her experiences in the program.When professional home health aides are unavailable or unaffordable, the burden shifts to family members. As of late 2025, the estimated economic value of unpaid caregiving in the U.S. has climbed to over $1 trillion annually. A study in Health Affairs estimated the personal cost of unearned income for family caregivers at roughly $67 billion per year, a figure expected to double by 2050 as the "silver tsunami" of aging retirees intensifies.

In this third session on death and dying, we explore the Bible's foundational teaching on what death is—and what it is not. Drawing from Jesus' declaration that God is “not the God of the dead, but of the living” (Mt 22:32; Mk 12.27; Lk 20:38), and from Paul's teachings on the resurrection, this lesson examines the relationship between body, soul, and eternal life. Far from viewing death as the end of life, we learn how Scripture presents death as a transition that draws us further into a closer relationship with God. This session seeks to offer a clear, hope-filled Christian vision of death, rooted in faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.⛪ Church of the Incarnation is an Anglican (ACNA) parish in western Henrico, Virginia, committed to:

In this second session on death and dying, we focus on the ethical challenges Christians often encounter at the end of life, especially in medical settings. Drawing on Scripture, theology, and decades of experience in chaplaincy and healthcare ethics, the discussion explores questions of autonomy, dignity, quality of life, and decision-making. In lieu of offering formulas or easy answers, the lesson provides a Christian framework for thinking faithfully and compassionately about complex end-of-life decisions. It invites believers to approach these moments grounded in the conviction that every person is created in the image of God and held in His care.⛪ Church of the Incarnation is an Anglican (ACNA) parish in western Henrico, Virginia, committed to:
