Our family went to Brazil this summer to visit a cluster of flourishing Anglican churches in the northeastern region of the country. We spent 10 days traveling to three cities and during our time in the northeast, we visited five Anglican churches, met with three bishops and got to know dozens of people involved in the growing Anglican movement in Brazil. Along with the churches, we were able to spend an afternoon at the Compassion Community Center in João Pessoa (to which Restoration sent this year’s Good Friday offering).
VBS 2024: The Lost Things
At the end of June, the Children’s Leadership Team and 30+ volunteers executed Restoration’s second annual VBS. The theme was “The Lost Things” and it was such a fun and meaningful few days. Over 60 children were welcomed into a time of learning through the parables of Luke 15, songs, and activities.

Season of Intentional Listening
God has been gracious and kind to our congregation since its launch in 2017. But the past several years have not been easy. The pandemic, political tensions, building acquisition, diocesan transition, and rapid growth have put us in an ongoing state of adaptation and change. It has been quite an adventure! After several months of discussion as staff and Parish Council, we believe that God is calling us to pause and enter into a season of intentional listening so that we might discern what he has for us next.
