| Annual Vision Meeting | June 26 Dear beloved Restoration family, I want to invite you to a very special Vision Meeting June 26 at 5:15PM. Not only will we be voting on Leadership Team candidates and celebrating where God has been at work, we will also be sharing where God is leading. We knew that our time sharing a building with Mercy Road Church and Oasis de Vida was meant to be a temporary oasis; we also knew that an evening service was not ideal, especially for our young families. Our facilities team has been at work, our leadership and staff have joined them for several meetings over the past almost 6 months and we’ve been steadily building up our future building fund in case something came along. SOMETHING DID! Representatives from the Leadership Team have been in conversations with our facilities team, National Covenant Properties and a realtor to begin the process to purchase a church property. Our faith in Jesus and devotion to him goes WAY beyond a day and time, but this new location is less than 10 minutes from our original location, plants us in the community, and gets us back to Sunday mornings. We will give more details and next steps during our worship service and Vision Meeting THIS SUNDAY. We can’t wait to share the story with you. With Hope, Pastor Rob Upcoming Events at Restoration Thursday, June 23 | Middle School Game Night 6-8pm Sunday, June 26 | In-Person + Online at 5:15pm Wednesday, June 29 at 10:00am | Restoration Kids Summer Pop-Up at Minnesota Zoo Sunday, July 3 | Sabbath Sunday at 5:15pm Tuesday, July 5 | Come and See Prayer 7pm Thursday, July 7 | Middle School Girl’s + Boys Bible Study 7pm Sunday, June 10 | In-Person + Online at 5:15pm Wednesday, July 13 at 10:00am | Restoration Kids Summer Pop-Up at Kelley Park July 21-23 Summer Patio Parties (Please RSVP below) Online Giving There’s no time like the present to set up online giving.

This summer, Restoration will be hosting Patio Parties as a way to act on our value of being authentic people living in community with one another. Patio Parties will be a casual way of meeting or getting to know other people at the church. Various hosts will be opening their homes and groups will meet to share a meal and/or drinks on the patio. We would love to have you join us! In July, Patio Parties will be taking place Thursday, July 22, Friday, July 23 and Saturday, July 23. |
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 July theme nights are:
July 10: Movie Night
July 17: Ice Cream Sunday
July 24: Christmas in July
Summer Pop-Ups!
This summer, Restoration Kids will be hosting Summer Pop-Ups to have fun and build community among our families. What is a Pop-Up event? A Pop-Up is a little party that we will be throwing somewhere in the area. From parks to the zoo, we will meet up around town to hang out with other Restoration Kids families. These are great events to invite your friends and neighbors to!
