Welcome Ellie Holmquist as new lead of First Impressions ministry
We are deeply grateful for Bethany Paul’s leadership in First Impressions since last December when we opened our doors at 16880 Cedar Ave! Bethany’s organization, care and desire to welcome people was just what we needed to launch this ministry. Recently, Bethany asked if First Impressions could or should come under a staff role as we prepare to transition to two services. The leadership team prayerfully discussed this and decided that this is something we should try. They also agreed that Ellie Holmquist would be an excellent choice to lead this important area of ministry. Lindsay Jacobson coming on board has freed up Ellie’s worship coordinating responsibilities, so this is great timing.
Studies indicate that most visitors make a decision about returning to a church within the first 90 seconds upon exiting their vehicle. This underscores the critical role that First Impressions play in creating a welcoming culture at Restoration.
We want people to see waving and smiling faces even before they enter the building. We want people to be greeted in the building and smell the coffee from the cafe. We want greeters who can show people where to go and ushers who can help people find seats when the worship center is full. These are all simple but important ways we let guests know that we see them, welcome them and want to find a place for them. Ellie is excited to make connections with this team and to welcome new teammates. If you would like to find out more, please email ellieholmquist@restorationcov.org or call the church at 952-373-1274.

Bible Presentation Sunday | October 1
Hey Restoration families! We’re committed to supporting parents to be the spiritual champion of their children’s faith. We know every child is unique, especially when it comes to their spiritual development. When they hit 2nd grade—a time where reading becomes a bigger part of their world—it’s the perfect chance for them to have their own Bible.
On October 1, parents of 2nd graders and older who have not already received a Bible will be gifted a student Bible to pass on to their child. We’re doing this during worship to underline just how vital our collective support is. We want to rally behind our families and show that we’re all on this adventure with Jesus together.
Let’s celebrate this awesome moment together as our young people explore the wisdom in God’s word!
Parents, if you would like your child to participate in the Bible Presentation, please send an email to Paula Herko, our Family Ministry Director by 12pm on Friday.
Two Services Transition
Have you heard the news? Restoration will be adding a second service this fall! Our target date for the transition is October 29. Click the graphic above to read the FAQ’s that should answer your questions. Stay tuned for a congregational survey coming soon!
Immerse: Poets Launched this week
This fall, let God transform you as you experience the Bible in a new way. Immerse is an invitation to discover God’s story by stepping into it. By reading large chunks of the Bible at a time, having in-depth discussions with one another, and hearing literary and historical perspectives each Sunday, we encounter God’s story, our story, in a whole new way. Pick up an Immerse Bible on Sunday (1 free copy per family) and join in.
Check out our Fall Immerse Small Groups and sign up on our website!
