Building Update

Our first two work days have been so productive and now the work will begin with our Framers, Electricians and Dry Wall teams. 

This Saturday we will NOT have a structured work day. Instead, we are asking you to work on a specific project between tomorrow and next Thursday, October 27. Send an email to Paula with the project and date and time you are available to work on the project and then Paula will coordinate with you and the other member(s) of your project team and make sure we have the supplies needed. 

Here are the projects to be tackled this week: 

  • Sand and prime wood for feature walls (the wood is being cut on Saturday, October 22) (Need 2-4 people)
  • Clean and buff the brass hinges and handles on Worship Center doors (2 people)
  • Mulch the playground (multiple people outside)
  • Clean the street sign (2-3 people

A reminder that volunteers working inside need to be at least 13 years old and need closed toed shoes. If you have any questions about these projects, please contact Paula or Joe.

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 regardless of worshipping 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.

Intergenerational Sunday | October 30

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. We will have busy bags for elementary school age kids and provide nursery/preschool.

The ninja gym will be closed during the service.
