Weekend Roundup Thank you to everyone who filled up a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child. It was exciting to literally trip over the giant pile of them on our front steps. Way to be generous Restoration! More Harmonica!! More Harmonica!! Once again, the men and women who invest in our kids downstairs (in cramped quarters […]

Loving Arlington, Sermons, Sunday Corporate Worship 2
Were you able to find a seat on Sunday? It was packed! I loved getting to meet the families of all those great kids that we baptized. Welcome Lily, Jack, Lucy, Kate, and Jay! We look forward to praying for you, teaching you, and pushing you to look like Christ. When we baptize infants or […]

After a fantastic fall retreat, it was great to back at Quincy Street yesterday. We started our annual 4 week ‘pre-communion class’ for our 3rd-5th graders. I am so glad that every year we deliberately teach them about what is happening at the Lord’s Table. It is a place where we remember that we have […]

Quick Takes from Sunday: We closed on our facility! It was good to worship in our own home. We are so thankful for the way God worked this out: we will be paying our ‘mortgage’ to the Duke Street/Trinity Baptist Memorial Foundation which supports lots of great ministry work in Northern VA. It was kind […]

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, […]

Last week we talked about the Gospel for Mutts. Thank you Johnny K! This week we dive into the letter Paul wrote to the church in Philippi. He was at the end of his life and stuck in a Roman prison from which he would not be released. These four, short chapters are his personal reflections […]

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 […]
Life Together, Outreach, Sunday Corporate Worship 3
Well, yesterday was an adventure, wasn’t it? A suddenly and inexplicably malfunctioning projector meant that we were without song lyrics, sermon slides, or the congregation’s part of the liturgy. But a heroic effort by Matt Hoppe and the worship team (Bethany Hoang and Ian Hassell), and a lightning-fast trip to Kinko’s by Samantha Burg, kept […]
