Rector’s Update: Eastertide!

Hi Restoration,

Alleluia! Christ is risen!
The Lord is risen indeed!  Alleluia!

I am so thankful for a wonderful Holy Week with you.  What a beautiful and profound journey from Hosanna! To Crucify! To Alleluia!

In Case You Missed It…
You can see all of our services from last week on our YouTube Live channel.  Make sure you don’t miss the Easter installment of Ms. Louise’s Neighborhood, our Good Friday service with reflections from our congregation on Jesus’ Last Words from the cross (so powerful!), and of course Easter Sunday (Chris Stephens’ first Sunday as Director of Worship Arts, Alleluia indeed!)

Morning and Evening Prayer is back
Tomorrow, (April 8), at 8am and 5pm, we will gather again for Morning and Evening Prayer.  The clergy took a few days to rest and we are excited to see you again tomorrow as we gather to begin and end each day.  

April 11: Two Services, In-Person Kids’ Small Groups, In-Person Apex
Phase Gamma of reopening Restoration roars into action this Sunday, April 11.  We have openings for you to worship in the sanctuary at 9 and 11.  We also have openings for Kids’ Small Groups at the 9 (the 11 is full).  You must sign up, here.  We also have Apex in-person on Sunday night from 6:30-8.  You can sign up for Apex, here.  If you are watching our broadcast and want to join in-person for Eucharist, outside, under the tent, you can do so at 10:15 and 12:15, no signup is required.  See you on Sunday!

Are you new to Restoration?
We have had so many people checking out our church.  We would love to tell you our story and invite you to live yours alongside us.  On April 13 at 7pm, I will host ‘Living God’s Story at Restoration’ over Zoom.  Wherever you are in the world, you are warmly invited to hear how you can worship and serve with us.  I hope you will join.  Please register, here.

My Alleluias are overflowing.  See you soon.
