| Adopt-A-Highway. LCI members and friends serve our community and care for God's creation through participation in the Caltrans Adopt-A-Highway program. Volunteers maintain a two-mile stretch of Highway 113 just north of the church between Covell Boulevard and the Highway 29 interchange near the Davis Municipal Golf course. In 2002, LCI was presented with a Volunteer of the Year award. We are proud to also be a part of statewide efforts to clean up our environment through participation in California Clean Up Days that take place each Fall and Spring. Please join us in this effort of service to our community. Contact Becky Nyby at bnyby@yahoo.com for more information. This service project is supported by Lutheran Church of the Incarnation and its Witness & Service Committee. |
| Advocacy Letter Writing. As part of LCI's goal to support and advocate for the poor, LCI members write letters on peace and justice issues to the Governor, the President and/or state and national legislators. Many times LCI members receive replies; sometimes letters from LCI and others cause legislators and officials to change their minds! Topics for the letters are suggested by the Lutheran Office of Public Policy, California Council of Churches, Bread for the World and/or the Lutheran Office of Governmental Affairs. Letter writing happens on the first Sunday of the month. Paper, pens, stamps and ideas are provided. Questions? Call Roberta Ranstrom at (530) 758-1844 or Marvie Paulson. |
| Caregivers is a support ministry designed to give individuals or families going through a change in their life, be it difficult or joyous, someone to walk along side them and lend support. This may be provided in a number of ways including meals, rides, respite care, prayer, a listening ear, or a one on one connection from one who has had a similar life experience. It is a ministry of care and compassion not one of professional counseling. Contact Bonnie Green for more information: (530) 756-0767. |

| Eucharistic Ministers. LCI has 10 persons who serve as Eucharistic Ministers. These persons serve in teams of two to bring the Sacrament of Holy Communion to our sick and/or shut-in members, usually on the second Sunday of each month. These Ministers are appointed to serve two-year terms from June 1 through May 31. Members of LCI who wish to be considered for appointment to this ministry or want to discuss its processes may talk with the Pastor or members of the Council. |
 LCI supports the Lutheran Episcopal Campus Ministry (LECM) at The Belfry which provides worship and programs that nurture the faith of young people familiar with the Lutheran and Episcopal churches at UC Davis and CSU Sacramento while appealing to unchurched seekers. Located at The Belfry, 216 A Street in Davis, directly across the street from Young Hall, LECM serves as a home away from home for many students. For more information, contact LECM at (530) 756-1550 or visit the LECM website at: http://web.mac.com/ibelfry/. |

This group that meets on the first and third Thursdays of the month at 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., in the South Room of Fellowship Hall. This group supports its participants by sharing and discussing stories, news, and concerns. At the same time, the men share coffee and donuts or some other baked goods. The group ends its time together with prayer. For more information, please contact the LCI office (530) 756-5500 or office@lcidavis.org. All men are invited to participate in our Men's Fellowship Group. Come and share a cup of coffee, share yourself, and share the Christ who is among us. |
| Prayer Chain. Prayer is a vital part of our life together. If you are in need of prayer or you know of someone who needs prayer support, our Prayer Chain is available to offer prayers of thanksgiving, praise, and supplication. Lenice Jones is our Prayer Chain Coordinator. To make prayer requests or to join the Prayer Chain, you are welcome to contact Lenice at (530) 758-7129 or lenjoyjones@juno.com. |
| The Property Committee is responsible for the general maintenance and upkeep of the buildings, surrounding grounds, and parking lot at LCI. Virtually all of the maintenance work is done by volunteers on work days, held on the fourth Saturday of each month, beginning with devotions and breakfast at 8:00 am. Everyone is welcome to help.

Witness and Service. Witnessing and serving are important aspects of doing God’s work. By encouraging these efforts both within and outside the walls of the Lutheran Church of the Incarnation, we strive to celebrate grace in Jesus, to go and make disciples, and to make a difference in our community and beyond.
One of our goals is to create an atmosphere for our visitors that provides them with the desire to return and to become a part of our community. Greeters and ushers are available at each worship service to assist and answer questions. Fellowship is encouraged through a time for refreshments and conversation after each worship service.
Through the service aspect of our committee, we guide the congregation toward seeking out and providing for the needs of those less fortunate. Some examples of the services we provide are:
- collecting food for the needy
- witnessing to and providing assistance for the sick
- making quilts for those with inadequate shelter
- supporting our high school youth on their annual pilgrimage to build a house for a needy family in Mexico
- making lunch for the homeless in Woodland
- regularly cleaning up a two mile stretch of Highway 113.
More volunteers are always needed, and we are continuously seeking other ways to provide aid and comfort to those who need it. If you are interested in becoming a part of this vital ministry or have any questions, our planning meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month or you may email the committee chair, Wanda Kennedy. All are welcome! |
| The Worship Committee is made up of multiple subcommittees which work collectively to prepare the sanctuary for worship, to prepare individuals who are to participate in worship in a variety of roles, and also to plan the worship services themselves. For more information visit our Worship and Music page. |
| Youth Ministries. LCI offers a joint youth ministry with Davis Lutheran Church which is overseen by the Joint Youth Ministry Council. For more information about our youth programs at LCI, please email the JYMC at youtherans@sbcglobal.net. |
