Sunday Announcements – November 8, 2015
- RestoMen continues this Tues, Nov 10. 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 the role of fasting as a discipline of intimacy with God.
- Afternoon Walk. If you’re in the USA on a visa, or are a naturalised citizen, we’d love you to join us to explore some of the region’s beautiful places. Children and American spouses welcome. Meet us Sunday Nov 8 at 2pm, by the footbridge to Theodore Roosevelt Island. mike.jen.dodson@gmail.com for more details.
- Women at Restoration: Get to know each other beyond the Sunday service setting. Sign up for a Wisdom of Walking gathering: one-time events in various homes that simply provide a time & space to connect through the end of Nov www.SignUpGenius.com/go/30E0C4AACAF2AA6F85-wisdom
- Women Unscripted, Tuesday, Nov 17 at 7:30pm at the church. Grow with the women of Restoration as they seek to more fully understand Speech, Silence, and Solitude.
- Operation Christmas Child — It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Pack a shoebox for a child that will be distributed by Samaritan’s Purse. Pick up your empty shoebox with instructions near the snack area, fill it, then return it on Nov 15 or Nov 22. louise@restorationarlington.org
- The gift of presence. Restoration is a drop-off point for those who are giving filled shoeboxes to kids all over the world. We collected 2,400 boxes last year! Sign up to help receive them by going to http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e044dabac2da75-operation1 Or, just ask Louise. louise@restorationarlington.org
- Spontaneous Songs and Little Ditties. We are made to sing. You may not think that you can sing or make new songs (Psalm 33.3), but you need to come to this RestoArts Workshop to realize that you are probably wrong and that their is musical creativity inside you. Sat, Nov 21 from 1-3pm, high school and up, 12 spots. matt@restorationarlington.org. Register https://Restoration.formstack.com/forms/songs
- Lead a Small Group? Would you like to lead a small group next trimester (January to March)? 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
- Memorial Servants. We are looking for people interested in serving as volunteers at the occasional memorial service. If you have flexibility during the week, please consider helping us with hospitality, baking, ushering, greeting, etc.. Contact kathy@restorationarlington.org
- Evensong. Think “campfire” prayer and singing with candles instead of a campfire – a time to worship and meditate Sunday 7-8pm from now until Advent. Ask Matt (the music leader) or ask around.
