- 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 #lust and #purity. This week’s reading is Peter Kreeft’s 12th chapter of Back to Virtue.
