I have a grab bag of important topics to cover before we enter into the excitement of this weekend's Building Consecration and First Sunday in the space.
Building Logistics
Liturgical Preparations
Location Change for Sunday, Aug 22
Rain Plan for Aug 8: Parkway Theater
Due to rain throughout Saturday and into Sunday morning, we are moving our Sunday Worship on August 8th back to the Parkway Theater. We’re so grateful for the Parkway’s openness for us to return on such short notice! There are a few other events and details that are impacted by this, though. Read on for more information.
Spring Covid Restrictions Update
Resurrection Witnesses
Kenya, Your Home, and Work
Epiphany is the season in which we celebrate the Light of Christ spreading among the nations. As Epiphanytide progresses, pay attention to the Sunday readings which will tell the story of God the Father expressing love for all humanity, God the Son proclaiming the arrival of the Kingdom, and God the Spirit taking this good news to the gentiles. How will Restoration celebrate Epiphany this year?
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
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.
