Livestream First

Livestream First

For the duration of this present spike in Covid cases, Restoration will be dropping down to One Service limited to 50 persons from now until Epiphany Sunday, January 10. Because the majority of our congregation will be joining from home, we are prioritizing our Livestream experience. We’re calling this model Livestream First (thereby implying In-Person Second.)

The Unordinary Ordinary

The Unordinary Ordinary

I adore the Church Calendar, but let's be honest, 2020 has been a bad go of it. Lent was interrupted by a Pandemic. Holy Week and Easter were mediated through screens. Pentecost and Trinity was marked by injustice, hatred, and violence. The Season after Pentecost was the season of, “Don’t breath on me.” And most recently, the Feast of All Saints was marked by epic political division. It’s fitting to now conclude 2020 with prophesy and apocalypse. Let us descend into Advent.
