Sunday Announcements – April 14, 2019
- Holy Week offering: It is Restoration’s custom Maundy Thursday through Easter to donate all of our offerings to a cause or partner that is doing something vital in the Kingdom of God. This year, we are giving to an Anglican Latino Church Planting Movement called: ¡Caminemos Juntos! which in English means “Let’s Walk Together.” Their vision is to unify, mobilize and multiply Latino Anglican churches throughout the 35 countries in the Americas (which includes North, Central and South America plus the Caribbean). We are excited to augment our already established partnerships in Bolivia and our friendships in RILA by giving to ¡Caminemos Juntos! You can read more about it at caminemos-juntos.com/english
- Want to get connected? Our Spring Trimester of Small Groups begins Sunday, April 28 and registration is open today!
- All Sunday Volunteers: It is time to think about May and June. The DEADLINE to update your availability is Monday, April 22. Please check your calendars and update your MSP profile. Questions? Contact Kathy Kenyon (kathy@restorationarlington.org)
