Respond to the message and let us know how we can be praying for you. We will respond to let you know when you’ve been prayed for.  What’s happening in Restoration Kids this Summer! This summer, elementary kids will be having theme nights during our regular class time. Kids will still be sent from worship to their class after songs but things will look a little different. Each Sunday night will have a theme and fun activities that correspond with that theme. This is a great way to make new friends and build community among our kids! Our next few theme nights are as follows: June 5 | “Pop-Up” Night. Celebrating our Fifth Graders “popping up” to Student Ministry with popsicles. June 12 | Game Night June 19 | Beach Party Restoration Kids Website   Let’s welcome the fifth graders to Middle School! Bring a friend and meet us at Grand Slam in Burnsville at 12:30pm.
