I’ve been told by Liz and David that shameless self-promotion of our small groups is perfectly acceptable, so here goes: You should really join my small group. Why? Because we’re going to be talking about what it means to be Anglican. After all, it’s a third of our name. The “Restoration” part comes from the big […]
Over the last couple of weeks, we invited anyone who was interested to come to two open events hosted by the Welcoming the Stranger small group. Both events were a great combination of being challenging and a lot of fun. On October 30th, Dawnielle Miller shared how she and others founded Casa Chirilagua. It […]
This trimester, one of the small groups at Restoration is trying something new. Our small group is called Welcoming the Stranger, and we’re focusing on making connections with immigrants – those we already know and some we have yet to come into contact with. One of the themes that we’ve been discussing is God’s passionate […]
I am drawn to the Gospel because of the density of the stories and teaching, and I am consistently enthralled with Jesus’s love and service to the marginalized.

On Sunday we gathered for the first time at Little Falls Presbyterian Church at 5pm. We considered that the disciples were waiting for the Holy Spirit in those 50 days after Easter because they needed to be prepared for the Holy Spirit. Waiting got them ready. Our church is now in a season of waiting– […]
While driving to church recently, my wife Melody and I were talking about how we explore and align our interests in serving our local community. The Lord responded the instant we walked into RAC’s door. We were handed the official “RAC Outreach Guide” outlining the incredible work underway by our church body, and we listened […]
The tension of Freedom and the Common Good This is one of those days when all the tensions of personal freedom come front and center. I love our country and that we have endeavored to provide a place that provides liberty and self-direction. But I am reminded that there are limits. As much as we […]

Robert Moore, a member of Restoration, has had an incredible experience through small groups and has graciously offered to share some of his story. “Being a part of a small group at Restoration has not just been a good experience for me from […]
