Sunday Announcements – April 20, 2014
Holy Week offering: It’s our custom during Holy Week to donate all of the offerings we receive to an organization that cares for some of the world’s most vulnerable people. This year, we’re pleased to support the anti-trafficking work of International Justice Mission in Cambodia. We invite you to pray for IJM Cambodia and to give generously.
Register for a small group today. Almost everyone who worships with us on Sunday evenings is in a small group during the week. Tri2 groups begin the week of April 27 and run through the week of June 23. Register today: go to restorationarlington.org/connect.
New-to-Restoration Dinner: Are you new (or new-ish) to Restoration? We’d love to meet you, tell you a little more about the church, and answer any questions you have—all while feeding you a great dinner. Join us on Tues., May 6, at 7:30 pm here at Little Falls. To RSVP, go to restorationarlington.org/connect.
Just one week left to register for WV 2014! July 2–6, in Philippi, WV. We’ll see old friends and get to know new ones as we work alongside them to refurbish homes and a community center. The trip is open to adults and children age 8 and older (accompanied by a parent). Go to https://restorationarlington.org/west-virginia-2/ for more info or to register.
Meet Steve. Wish you knew how to talk about your faith with your friends, neighbors, or colleagues? Come meet Steve, one of our partners from Istanbul who’ll be visiting us later this week. Steve has decades of experience helping people learn how to share the gospel—and still be normal. We hope everyone will take advantage of at least one of these opportunities to spend some time with Steve:
Wed., Apr. 23: Take the day off and hike Old Rag in Shenandoah National Park.
Thurs., Apr. 24: Afternoon: visit a local college campus and talk with students about the difference Jesus makes. Evening: Hear stories of what God is doing in Turkey and pray for this country God loves.
Fri., Apr. 25: Afternoon: Visit a local mosque and see what God is doing there.
Sat., Apr. 26: Morning: Join Steve for the Spring Fling 5k along the Potomac. Afternoon: Workshop on friendship evangelism—how do we talk about the difference Jesus makes?

The Men’s Retreat: May 17-18. Every year the men of Restoration go to Middleburg, VA, for a man-treat. We camp out in a field, hang out, and talk about how to become more Christ-like men. All guys are welcome. Cost is $40 and scholarships are available. Go to https://restorationarlington.org/ministries/retreats/ to register.
