 ComeTogether | Easter Dinner & Worship This is an opportunity for our church family to worship God in a beautiful and different way. A new way for us to experience more of the Easter story together. We will gather around tables, enjoy a meal together, ask questions, hear stories of restoration, sing praise and experience the power of the Resurrection…TOGETHER. Extend an invitation to someone who needs to experience a community of people being restored by Jesus bringing hope to the world this Easter. Please RSVP at www.restorationcov.org/easter to let us know you will be attending and to help us prepare food, resources and activities for everyone.

Restoration Kids Play Days Parents, are you looking to get out of your house and connect with other parents and kids during the day? This Spring, bring your kids to come play at the church with their friends while you chat with other parents. We will be meeting from 10:00 to 11:30 on the first and third Wednesdays in March through May. This is a great way to build community among our kids and each other! Our next play day will be Wednesday, April 6. A small snack will be served. Contact Chrystine@restorationcov.org with any questions. Here’s what we are learning this month in Restoration Kids! PRESCHOOL  While Jesus was on earth, He lived a life that very clearly said, “Everyone can be friends with Me!” While not everyone took Him up on His invitation, those that did were changed forever in the best way. That is why we are teaching preschoolers that no matter what kind of shoes we wear, everyone can be friends with Jesus. We can be friends with Jesus no how young or old. We can be friends with Jesus wherever we live and whatever language we speak. We can be friends with Jesus no matter how much money and education we have. There are no special requirements to be friends with Jesus. It’s a come as you are kind of friendship that lasts forever. Everyone can put on their shoes and follow Jesus. “’Come and follow me,’ Jesus said.” Matthew 4:19, NIrV ELEMENTARY  Elementary kids will be talking about cooperation in March. Cooperation is a spiritual concept that originates with God. God created us to work together in a community. Throughout the Bible, we see how God brought people together to accomplish something big for Him. When we work together, we reflect what Jesus envisioned for His followers. Our love for one another can point people to Him. “Two people are better than one. They can help each other in everything they do.” Ecclesiastes 4:9, NIrV  Save these upcoming events for ALL students: Whirlyball + Laser Tag Student Family Night | Saturday, May 7, 2022 Middle School Bible Study The Middle School Bible Study continues Friday, April 1 from 6:30-8:30pm at Restoration for a MOVIE NIGHT!
