Pumpkin Party

Kids and Student Ministries are joining forces to bring you a festive event for the whole church. We are meeting at 12156 Nicollet Ave in Burnsville from 6:30-8:00pm THIS FRIDAY, October 29 to carve pumpkins, enjoy some snacks, and compete for candy prizes. RSVP to ChrystineVilhauer@restorationcov.org today!

THIS Sunday, October 31 | Intergenerational Worship

At Restoration, we believe it’s important for children and students to learn spiritual concepts alongside their parents at home and in age-appropriate class settings such as Restoration Kids and Restoration Student groups. We intentionally look for ways to cultivate intergenerational relationships, encourage all ages to participate in various serving roles and structure the worship set and message in such a way so as to include something that speaks to all generations. The fifth Sunday of the month is designed to be an experience where all ages can be seen, heard and welcome to participate. There will be no Restoration Kids or Restoration Students classes today. Kids and Students will instead remain in service to worship alongside their families and church community. The infant/toddler room will be available for any parents that need to help kids get their wiggles out but will not be staffed by volunteers.

Friday, November 12, 6:30-8:00pm

As we enter the season for giving thanks, gather with us for a time of gratitude and fun for everyone! Snacks, activities and entertainment for all ages will be provided. Invite a family or friend to join you and come ready to have some fun!

Elementary

In November, Elementary kids will be talking about contentment. Everything we have comes from God. He is faithful to provide what we need. And even more than what we own, God can also provide what we need to face whatever happens in our life. God has proven time and again that we can trust Him no matter what. We can complain or become jealous of what others have . . . or we can choose to respond with contentment, knowing that God has a plan for our lives.

Memory Verse: “Then he said to them, ‘Watch out! Be on your guard against wanting to have more and more things. Life is not made up of how much a person has.’” Luke 12:15, NIrV

Preschool

This month we are going to use a community garden to teach our preschoolers that “I can thank God for everything.”

Wow, there is so much goodness in that one statement! First of all, I can thank. Choosing to be thankful is the road to contentment, joy, and peace. And we want our preschoolers to have all of that goodness in their lives. Second, I can thank God. Thanking God is how we acknowledge the One giving us all the good in our lives. And third, I can thank God for everything. Yes, even the not so good stuff. When we thank God for everything, we are showing God that we believe He can use ALL things for His purpose and nothing is too big for Him.

We want our preschoolers to know they can thank God for everything. We want them to experience the contentment, joy and peace that comes from a thankful heart.

“I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart.” Psalm 111:1, ESV
