Sunday Announcements – December 6, 2015
RestoMen continues Tues, Dec 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 simplicity as a discipline of intimacy with God.
The Adventy Fireside Chats return. Join in the fun of this annual event. There will be two more opportunities this year on Thurs, Dec 10 & 17 at 7:30pm; come for just one or all three! Email chapman.erica@gmail.com
RestoArts Workshop: On Dec 12 at 1pm, Rachael Foster will help us re-see our world and ourselves through photography. Whether you have an iPhone or a high-end DSLR, you will benefit from Rachael’s skill and perspective on this craft. Come practice with her! 15 spots are open. https://Restoration.formstack.com/forms/photo
Your chance to sing carols during advent is on Dec 20: Join us on Sunday, Dec 20 at Sunrise Assisted Living on Glebe immediately after the 5pm service for singing and chatting from 7-8pm. Red hats optional but appreciated!
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 Restoration.formstack.com/forms/small_group_leaders
Join us Christmas Eve @ 3 pm, 5 pm, or 10 pm as we celebrate the birth of Christ with a Eucharist service of lessons and carols. Children are invited to come dressed as their favorite character from the nativity story at the 3 pm and 5 pm services, as those are both family friendly. Nursery care will be available at the 3 pm and 5 pm services.
Giving gifts. At the Christmas Eve services we get to gather and give gifts to infants and children in our area – in much the same way that the wise men gave gifts to the Baby King. So, join us by donating a new, unwrapped item from the following list to be given to Doorways for Women and Children: $25 Target gift cards; toilet paper; paper towels; Pull-Ups (2T-5T).
RestoMen’s Retreat. Jan 15-16 with speaker Dr. Curt Thompson at Meadowkirk. Sign up before Dec 1 to save an extra $10. Sign up on the app or read more about it at restorationarlington.org/2015/11/restomens-retreat-2016/
RestoWomen Retreat. The annual women’s retreat will be held at Meadowkirk from the evening of Feburary 19th to the morning of February 21st. We’ll be talking about worship, guidance, and celebration — the corporate spiritual disciplines. Registration is live on the website & on the Restoration app! Sign up now!
Take note. There will be only one service on Dec 27 at 10am. Plan now to be there wearing your favorite Christmas sweater.
