RSVP to the Invitation to a Holy Lent We’re two weeks into the Lenten season, a third of the way through to the “Allelulia” shouts of Easter morning. On Ash Wednesday our priests invited us to a Holy Lent. Did you RSVP? Are you finding a rhythm in your sacrifice? Have you forgotten or slipped […]

Remember that you are dust. And to dust you shall return. I loved worshiping with Restoration yesterday. 3 services at 6:30am, noon, and 7:30pm. I love getting to see people in the midst of their work day. I love starting the day in prayer and singing with Restoration peeps. Last night was a profound quiet […]
Being a young church that is part of the Anglican tradition, gives us the freedom to begin new traditions within the context of the old; within the context of all that is right and true and good about this season of joy and hope and love. In the past few years at Restoration we have […]

It’s one of the major feast, or celebration, days of the church year. This year, All Saints’ falls on a Tuesday, but we’ll be celebrating it […]

The Ash Wednesday liturgy captures some of what I love best about Anglicanism— beauty, intentional words, silence, kneeling, sacrament, […]

Hello from Plano, Texas! I’m here this week for the annual synod of the Diocese of the Holy Spirit (which is the diocese in which I am “canonically resident”) and then for the Anglican1000 Summit, a meeting of church planters from all across the country. In addition to eating some fantastic Texas chili, I’m having […]
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 […]
Last week, I had the privilege of attending the annual CANA Council with Restoration’s other representatives–David Hanke, Richard Hines, and Ramsey Wilson. One of the highlights was Bishop Martyn Minns’s annual Pastoral Call to all the CANA churches. Restoration got a special shout-out, and Bishop Minns put forward a bold vision for what it means […]
Many of you know my dear friend, Patrick Ware. We both attended Gordon-Conwell and then he and I were the first “Timothy’s” at The Falls Church from 2006-2009. Patrick and Jordan (his wife) planted Winchester Anglican Church this past year. The church is having a big impact on that community. I’m really proud of him. […]
