Cambodia Trip: We are commissioning our team who are heading out to Cambodia, Nov 17-25. Please pray for them as they go to prayer walk, visit the Blaines, and run a retreat to refresh the workers at the Anglican Church of Christ our Peace in Phnom Penh. We love the discipleship opportunities these visits provide for our congregation and the huge relational benefits of visiting our partners where they serve.

Evensong. On Sundays from 7-8pm, over twenty Restoration folks have singing with some interspersed prayer. It’s kind of like singing and praying at the campfire but with candles. Come join us for a rich close to the weekend and a great start to the week. We’ll keep doing it until Advent. If you have questions, contact matt@restorationarlington.org. Bring a self-standing candle if you like.
Washington-Lee Parking Garage @ 15 St. Please do not park on Quincy St. or the side streets. Parking toward Ballston in the Washington-Lee High School parking garage is one of the best ways that we can love our neighbors, and it is only a short walk or shuttle ride away. Thank you!
