My soul magnifies the Lord,” Mary rejoices after being blessed by her cousin Elizabeth, who received the Holy Spirit as the two women met each other in the house of Zechariah. All of Israel had been waiting for so long for the Messiah to come and set this people free from their captivity, a promise he made to their forefathers, and now the moment was here! Elizabeth’s baby leapt in her womb for the joy of it all. Mary was about to give birth to that long-awaited Messiah, Jesus.
Turning Our Face Toward God
New Staff Titles
Our church is in an exciting transitional season right now. We are shifting from a small, new church plant pastored by just me and Molly towards a slightly more established church with a more full pastoral team. In light of this, I am making changes to staff titles in order to bring clarity and to encourage you in your own spiritual walk.
All Saints Celebrations
All Saints is the high holy day in which we thank God for our spiritual mothers and fathers who have gone before us, faithfully stewarding the Good News of Jesus Christ. We ask God to give us the strength and courage to continue to proclaim his grace to a new generation.
Restoration will be holding several events before and after All Saints in order to celebrate the family of God that we have been adopted into through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Enjoy these parties, baptisms, reaffirmations of faith, and times of feasting.
Phasing out our Livestream
In March 2020, the world was turned upside down by the Covid Pandemic. Restoration was only two and a half years old when it struck, and because of our nimble, scrappy nature, we were able to quickly deploy creative solutions for connecting our church, which included an excellent Livestream of Sunday Worship. I’m quite proud of our team and what they’ve been able to accomplish these past few years, but it’s now time to phase out the Livestream and to reinforce better ways of fostering sacramental fellowship.

Announcing Membership
I’m so happy to share that we are offering membership at Restoration. Why now? Well as some of you know, we actually began designing a membership process a long time ago, but with all that’s happened these past couple years, we were never quite able to finish it. Now, with the tremendous help of the Parish Council and other leaders, we’re finally ready.
