As a followup to David’s recent post, “RAC serves AFAC”, I thought I’d just share what hanging out and serving together meant from a communal perspective. Getting to know other people is just hard. And getting to know people in DC is harder (at least for me). I read a book recently by Lauren Winner […]
Since January 2013, we’ve been walking through Luke’s gospel, learning from Jesus what it means to follow him. In Epiphany, we studied chapters three through five as we considered the job description of a disciple that Jesus gives. During Lent, we looked at the examples of faith and faithfulness found in chapters six through nine. […]
A group of us gathered on Wednesday night to talk about what God has to say about immigration. Unlike the debates we are hearing on TV and the Radio in the build up to the election, this was not a moment to talk about our different political views, but to have a discussion about what […]
Registration for Fall Retreat is upon us! We live in one of the busiest cities in the world. Work, activities and traffic all to quickly swallow up our time. This retreat gives us the opportunity to get away from it all and connect with God and with one another. Whether you are new to Restoration, […]

Earlier this month, I went on my third Restoration trip to Philippi, WV. Each year, it seems, when we cross the line into West Virginia, the John Denver song seems to erupt spontaneously from whoever is in the car. This year, the Brooks family and I belted it out with gusto. West Virginia may not […]
Friends, It’s been a busy week around here. On Sunday, we wrapped up almost ten weeks of teaching about King David and the nation of Israel in its prime. I have really enjoyed looking at this season of David’s life– watching him get all fired up about an idea, occasionally running ahead of the Lord, […]
Hillary Goodall just joined our staff team in June as our new communications coordinator and administrative assistant. As you have probably heard, our wonderful Becky Keller is leaving for Yale in August. Hillary has come on board to support our capital campaign, to grow our communication platform, and to assist our team with all of […]
