Greetings friend,
As I write this note to you, Thanksgiving is just hours away from us. I hope and pray that you’ve made a list of things for which you can be thankful. God has been so good to Debbie’s and my family, and He’s been so faithful and gracious to His church at RCC. Part of my Thanksgiving prayers will include you and the many others who live far and near to Restored. Thank you for the faithful gifts of your Time, Talent, and Treasure over the years! You are a part of our story of God’s blessings through people like you and we both love and appreciate you, dearly.
This coming Sunday marks the beginning of our church’s celebration of the Christmas season! Just wait until you see what the Décor Team has done to the lobby and Worship Center! It’s so beautiful! This year I’ve chosen the theme of our Christmas messages to be “Through Their Eyes” as we look at each of the four major participants in the greatest story ever told – the birth of our Savior, Jesus. This Sunday my message is titled “Through Mary’s Eyes.” I hope you can come to experience The Reason for the Season in person. We would love to see you!
Upcoming Events:
Friday, December 5th @ 6pm “A Country Christmas @ Restored”. Come see and hear our friend Dennis Agajanian live at RCC. Dennis is the most amazing and accomplished guitar player I’ve ever heard, and he’ll usher us into the season with familiar carols, along with some special music and artists joining him. This is for the whole family so bring and invite everyone you know who loves Christmas. This is a FREE event. No registration necessary.
Wednesday, December 24th @ 3pm or 6pm RCC’s 9th Annual Christmas Eve Candlelight Services. Mark your calendars and bring the whole family to a special evening focused on the birth of Christ. We’ll be led in music by Nicole and team, along with a wonderful orchestra, the Restored Choir, and a team of actors bringing us a live nativity scene! This will be an evening you won’t soon forget as it points us back to The Reason For The Season, Jesus our Lord and Savior. This is a wonderful opportunity to bring people who need The Lord, to a visual presentation of The Gospel! Invite them for sure; Bring them if you can!
