- Bolivia! This July 1-11, Restoration will make its first official mission trip to Cochabamba, Bolivia, where we’ll build relationships and refresh the workers at La Trinidad (the local Anglican church) and Niños con Valor (a children’s ministry for at-risk youth). Apply online at Restoration’s website or contact Endel Liias (endel.liias@gmail) for more details
- Asia Minor Prayer will happen on Monday, March 7. The Lord has given Restoration a heart for Asia Minor, and this is one of the ways we follow our call to love this region.
- Prayer Training: Calling all member of the After Service Prayer Team! If you are interesting in extended prayer opportunities please join us for an Extended Prayer Training on Tuesday, March 8 from 7:30 to 9:30 pm in the Fellowship Hall.
- RestoMen continues Tues, March 8. The evening begins at 7pm with a catered, light supper. Bring $5 to help cover the cost. At 7:30 we start the conversation and end promptly at 9. We will be talking about confession and lent as a discipline of intimacy with God.
- Women Unscripted will meet again on Tues, March 15 focusing on the spiritual discipline of simplicity. If you are woman, you should come.
- Lead a Small Group? Would you like to lead a small group next trimester (April to June)? If so, Nathan would love to talk with you! If you are new to leading a small group, please contact him at nathan@restorationarlington.org. If you have led a group before, you can sign up at http://Restoration.formstack.com/forms/ small_group_leaders
- Drummers and Bassists are the coolest. If you play bass, drums, or djembe and are curious what serving with a Sunday music team looks like, contact matt@restorationarlington.org. I’d love to jam with you.
- Evensong Tonight. Our version of Evensong tends to feel a bit like singing and praying around a campfire. It’s a time in a less formal setting to listen to the Spirit and encourage the church to be the church. It’s from 7pm-8 on Sundays through Lent. We’d love for you to join us.
- This week’s Lent Instagram #s are #envy and #mourn. This week’s reading is Peter Kreeft’s 9th chapter of Back to Virtue.
