On Sunday, June 3, Incarnation Anglican gathered in the home of Liz and Simon Gray for its first Sunday worship service of evening prayer and eucharist. This service was the start of our ‘soft launch’ — a period of a few months where our launch team will worship weekly and practice the habits of praying, […]
Last week we handed out a simplified version of our Anglican Book of Common Prayer called Praying through the Year. We’ve loved hearing the ways many of you are integrating this booklet into your daily life. We will have more copies of this resource available on Sunday in the narthex, and we’d love for you […]
Hey Restos! It’s me again, that woman who can’t seem to make it to church on time and talks an awful lot about toast. I was overwhelmed by the response to my recent blog about running late for church. So many of you reached out and shared stories of how you, like me, are hungry […]
My family lives along Columbia Pike in South Arlington. When I walk to CVS, I hear dozens of languages being spoken and see women in burqas, men in shalwar kameez, and little girls with shaved heads. When I take my kids to the playground after dinner, I find myself talking to parents from Afghanistan, Bolivia, Bangladesh, […]
Last week my family was nearly 30 minutes late to church. 30 minutes! We snuck into a pew near the back mid-sermon, and over the next 10 minutes, the empty spaces around us filled up with other latecomers. After the service, over iced coffee and shouting children downstairs, we laughed and poked fun at ourselves […]

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, […]
