Life Together, Sunday Corporate Worship 16
So what do you think about our new worship times? When thinking about Sunday worship times, I am motivated by 3 things (in this priority order): I want there to be enough time between services that we don’t feel rushed. We need time to pray for people, to linger in musical worship. The musicians, servers, […]
1. To be honest, the sermon on doubt was a tough one to write. It is so ubiquitous, so important for a community to discuss. But, I have my own doubt that I landed us in a place where we have much hope about how to overcome doubt. (ie practically, what do you do with […]
Generosity, Life Together, Small Groups 7
I have been talking with different friends recently about goals. What are things they are aiming for in life? A position at work? To see a part of the world? To own a certain car, house, bike? Part of this interest was inspired by this article I read in Outside Magazine. As I looked at […]
Small Groups started this week. Have you signed up? Here is a post from Cindy Darnell telling us why she can’t get enough of small groups. I joined my first small group in 2001. At that time I was “convinced” (to use David’s terminology) that God was real and that Jesus was Lord but I […]
September 15: Erin Bair will be made a deacon at Restoration. It is unusual and special to have an ordination at your church (usually they happen in central, cathedral-like locations). And it is unusual and special to have an entire ordination service to yourself (usually lots of folks ‘get done’ at once). So tomorrow night […]

Children’s Ministry kicks off a new season on September 12 with joy and anticipation. We are excited to have wonderful teachers who are committed to our vision of growing our […]
Church, Sunday Corporate Worship 2
Sunday is going to be a great day! For the last 70 years, the people of Trinity Baptist Church have been faithfully worshiping God together here on North Quincy Street.. For the last 2 years, they have been gracious hosts to Restoration as we’ve undertaken the adventure of planting a new church. We are grateful […]
Community, Getting Involved, Life Together, Retreats 2
A post from Connally Gilliam, an active member of Restoration: Last year was Restoration’s first church-wide retreat, and I – one who often speaks at retreats but secretly never really likes going to them – well…I liked it! It was, for lack of a more profound word: good. Seriously. Fun, solid, real, good – showing […]
On September 15, 2010 at 7:30pm, Erin Bair will be made a transitional Deacon in the Anglican Communion by Bishop John Guernsey at Restoration Anglican Church. That is a mouthful! I am so excited for Erin and so proud of the way she has walked this journey. It has been a long road from The […]
