Outdoor Worship and Baptism service will be August 29, 2021 at 10am at
Crystal Lake Beach in Burnsville, MN
Baptism is a very important spiritual milestone for a person who has come to know and love Jesus Christ. If you have felt God’s call to take this step our outdoor worship and baptism service is a great time to do that. This gives us the opportunity to celebrate with you as a church family and rejoice in this important next step.
Do you have questions about being Baptized? Pastor Rob would love to have a conversation with you! If you have hesitations about being baptized in a lake? We have options! Contact Pastor Rob to start the conversation.
After the Outdoor Worship service you can set up your Lawn Chairs, Blankets and a picnic lunch for your family. Restoration will provide Lemonade, Water, Individual Bags of Chips, Pickles and Dessert. If you have any questions please contact Karen Schroeder.

Special Business Meeting, August 22, 11:00 AM
at current location Bethel’s Rock Family Center
Greetings Restoration family and friends! On June 27, we held our annual vision meeting and voted on three new leadership team candidates, but we were unable to present a 2021-22 budget because we had not determined our next location. Last Sunday we presented the best choice for a next location. Over the next two weeks the leadership team will finalize the budget and present it to the congregation on August 22 at 11 AM for congregation approval. Everyone is invited to attend and members may vote. Please reach out to the leadership team (LT@restorationcov.org) if you have any questions.

Hey Restoration! It is that time of year again! Time to bless Westview Elementary School Kids with new shoes and backpacks for the school year! The Westview staff, parents, and students hugely appreciate our generous donations of shoes and backpacks each year. Westview principle Tami Staloch-Schultz recently shared with me that “donations of shoes and backpacks are appreciated as they really help balance the beginning of the year needs and anxiety of some families.”
There are a few ways you can get involved this year…
- Purchase brand new athletic shoes (any child size 1-7) and/or brand new backpacks and bring them to church on Sunday mornings.
- Donate money to be used for the purchase of shoes and backpacks-donations can be brought to church on Sunday mornings.
- Donate money to be used for the purchase of shoes and backpacks at VBS. To donate money online use the drop down menu to select Westview Backpacks and Shoes.
- Drop off shoes/backpacks/monetary donations at the Jacobson home (14230 Audobon Way, Rosemount). Call Michele at 952-649-1369 to schedule a time to drop off.
- Deadline to drop off shoes, backpacks and donations is August 22, 2021
I hope you will consider donating to this important outreach! It has been a joy to be able to serve the students and staff at Westview Elementary over the last decade. It is because of your generosity that students are able to start the school year with their needs met and with reduced anxiety. Your generosity has also helped to facilitate a positive relationship between our church staff and the Westview staff. Those positive relationships have allowed us to continue to serve the people of Westview and help in times of need. Thank you for your generosity over the years! Please reach out to me with any questions- thank you!

Fall is just around the corner! Be a part of something big as our church family goes on an exciting 8-week journey reading through the next Immerse book.
The stories in Joshua, Judges, Ruth and Samuel-Kings tell the story of God’s people as they invade and inhabit Canaan. God granted them freedom from Egyptian slavery and a place of rest from their wilderness wandering. Unlike the nations around them, they had no king; God was their sovereign. Without an earthly leader, though, the Israelites adopted their neighbors’ pagan ways. They disobeyed the Law of Moses and worshipped other gods. God raised up enemies who disciplined them until they cried out to God for mercy. Each time they did, God sent a deliverer – first in leaders called judges, and later in traditional kings. The greatest of these kings was David, a man after God’s own heart and Jesus’ ancestor. Jesus is the Son of David who is a sovereign for all people, including God’s nation, the Jews.
We are looking for people who are ready to lead an 8-week Immerse Group this Fall! Contact Daniel at danielmorgenstern@restorationcov.org to learn more.

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
