Vision Meeting Recap

Sunday was such a beautiful ten year birthday celebration and vision meeting! We shared and heard meaningful stories of Restoration from both old and new friends, we heard encouraging ministry updates and a Spirit-filled word from Pastor Rob on where we are and where we are going. God has good plans ahead. He is still at work in and through each of us. We are so blessed to call this community home. 

During the Vision Meeting we voted on our new Leadership Team members. We are thrilled to share that the members unanimously voted in Greg Carlson, Chris Davis and Colin Fleming.

Be praying for our Leadership Team as they seek the Lord and partner with our staff to move the mission of Restoration forward. The current leadership team also stated that they will not be proposing a new budget until we find a different facility in the coming month. Stay tuned.

Finally, check out YouTube or Facebook for the recording if you missed the celebration. Also look at our social media channels this week for more video stories of Restoration and our birthday celebration.

Summer Small Groups
It’s Summer! Time to get outside and get social! And Restoration would love to help with that. If you’re looking for a group to join we have a few wonderful opportunities listed on the website. If you don’t see a group that’s a good fit for you let Daniel know at danielmorgenstern@restorationcov.org there might be the perfect one already in the works. 
BAPTISM + CHILD DEDICATION 
We will be having child dedications and baptisms coming up soon. If you are interested in having a child dedicated or baptized, please contact ChrystineVilhauer@restorationcov.org or contact the church office.

ONLINE GIVING 
There’s no time like the present to set up online giving. Online tithing is a way to remain faithful in your giving whether you choose to worship with us in-person or online. Decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves a person who gives cheerfully. And God will generously provide all you need. We encourage you to consider giving online so that your giving is regular and easy to manage – it’s easy to sign up HERE. You can also Text to Give by texting any dollar amount to 84321.



PRAY OR RECEIVE PRAYER 
Now more than ever, people are turning toward prayer or are in desperate need of prayer. We have an amazingly gifted prayer team you can depend on for prayer. They’re always looking for other prayer warriors if you want to join or if you need prayer for any situation, you can contact them. We believe in the power of prayer and know that God is listening. We would love to pray for you. If you’re interested in joining the prayer team or have any prayer requests, send them to our prayer team at prayer@restorationcov.org
VBS IS BACK! 
This summer, kids will don their hard hats and head out to the construction site to discover that skyscrapers aren’t the only things that need a rock solid foundation. We will start with a kick-off event on Wednesday, July 21 from 6-8pm. It will be held outdoors at Revival Baptist Church (former Apple Valley Baptist location) at 964 Garden Valley Dr. in Apple Valley. VBS will then run every Wednesday night in August from 6-8pm for kids entering Kindergarten through fifth grade. We will have the songs, crafts and games that kids love about VBS, all outdoors.

Registration is LIVE! The first 30 kids to register will receive a bag with a CD, t-shirt iron-on and other themed gifts! Contact ChrystineVilhauer@restorationcov.org with any of your questions about this event or to find out how you can help make VBS a success this year.
PLAY + PRAY 
Looking to get out of the house and connect with other parents and kids this summer? We would love to have you join us for Play and Pray! The kids enjoy themselves at the park while the grown-ups talk about the things going on in their lives and share prayer requests. Play and Pray mornings are an easy way to be in community with each other during the summer months. Our next dates will be July 7 and July 21, 9:30am-11:30am at Apple Grove Park (by the fire station at CR42 and Hayes). Contact ChrystineVilhauer@restorationcov.org with any questions

RESTORATION KIDS SUMMER SCHEDULE 
During June and July, Restoration Kids will continue to have in-person small group classes for preschool through fifth grade during the Sunday morning worship service on the first, third and fifth Sundays. The exception to this will be July 4, which will be a virtual Sunday for the entire church. Beginning June 20, elementary classes will be meeting outdoors. Virtual small group for grades K-5 will continue on the second and fourth Sundays at 9:30 am via Zoom.

On weeks where no nursery is provided, we will have toys set up behind the fireplace in the lobby where parents can bring children if they need to get their wiggles out during service. Busy bags will also be available for older kids on these Sundays.
