 Annual Vision Meeting | June 26 Restoration members and friends, please join us for dinner church and our annual vision meeting at 5:15PM on June 26. There will be a time of reflection, hearing stories of how we have seen God move in the past year, and you will hear how and where God is leading us, especially with our finances and facilities. We will also celebrate the people who God has used to bring us to where we are, and we will look forward to what we believe is in store for the coming year. Finally members will vote on our 2022-23 budget and the nominations for the church leadership team. Contact LeadershipTeam@restorationcov.org with questions or more information and click below for more information on the leadership team nominations. Meet the Leadership Team Nominees A Message from Leadership Team Chair, Chris Davis. Restoration family, As Becky and I prepare to transition out of our work and ministry here in the Minneapolis area, we are exceptionally grateful for the past 10-plus years we have spent at Restoration. During our time here, it has been our joy to lead, to serve, to worship, to laugh, to grieve, and to experience so many other God things alongside you. As we transition into this next season of life and ministry, we are excited to see what God, in His wisdom, still has planned for Restoration, even if from a distance. We also look forward to worshipping with you on June 26th as part of the annual Vision Update Meeting. We will continue to keep you in our prayers as you continue to serve the metro area well through your words and through your actions. Until next time, grace and peace to all! -Chris and Becky Davis Upcoming Events at Restoration Thursday, June 9 | Middle School Girl’s + Boys Bible Study 7pm June 9-10 | Patio Parties Sunday, June 12 | Middle School Putt + Pizza 12:30-3pm (see below) Sunday, June 12 | In-Person + Online at 5:15pm Tuesday, June 14 | Come and See Prayer 7pm Wednesday, June 15 at 10:00am | Restoration Kids Summer Pop-Up at Cliff Fen Park Friday, June 17 at 6:00pm | Restoration Kids Summer Pop-Up at Lebanon Hills, pack or grab a picnic dinner Sunday, June 19 | In-Person + Online at 5:15pm Father’s Day Tuesday, June 21 | Come and See Prayer 7pm Thursday, June 23 | Middle School Game Night 6-8pm Saturday, June 25 | Student Service Day 9am-1pm 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 | Online 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 Online Giving There’s no time like the present to set up online giving.

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 12 | Game Night June 19 | Beach Party 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?
