Give Love

We're planning a "Give Love" campaign on Sunday, October 23rd to raise $15,000 to help us move.  This campaign will help us lay concrete, redo the floors, paint, do new lighting, and do everything else we need to get our space ready, especially our Kids space! It will also help us absorb the increased rent we'll pay at the Sunset Temple.  

We're asking everyone who considers Restored home to pray and ask the Holy Spirit what He's calling you to give!  If you would like to give before October 23rd, please click HERE to "Give Love"!

If you have any questions about Give Love please contact Jarek at jarek@restoredsd.com.  

Thanks so much for your love, help and support during our move!  We couldn't do this without you! 

GC Leaders' Commissioning + Sign-Ups this Sunday!

Join us this Sunday, October 9th as we celebrate the launch our Gospel Communities! GCs are small groups of men, women and children who are being transformed by the radical grace of Jesus together and want others to experience Him as well!  This Sunday we are introducing our Gospel Communities and giving GC leaders an opportunity to share their hearts for their groups.  

We also plan to commission the GC leaders into service on Sunday and then invite those of you who want to be in a GC to sign-up!  It should be a great Sunday for our church and we can't encourage you enough to come and be a part of it!  We hope to see you Sunday! 

When: Sunday || 10.9.16 || 9:00a

Where: Adams Elementary 4672 35th St, San Diego, CA 92116

We're Moving to North Park! Here's How You Can Help...

It's official: We're moving to North Park!

As we announced this past Sunday, we signed a lease to move to the Sunset Temple in North Park this fall!  We're moving right into the heart of North Park and we're excited that we'll be far more visible in our community and therefore able to make a deeper gospel impact in Uptown.

As you're probably all experienced, whenever a family moves it creates a need for every family member to sacrificially help in some way, whether its with packing, cleaning, moving boxes, or revamping the new space, just to name a few.  In the same way, we're asking everyone who calls Restored home to sacrificially help us make our move to North Park a reality!   

There are many layers to the move and we'll need a lot of help in every area, but the first need we want to bring before our church family is financial: we need help covering the moving expenses, room renovation costs, and the increased rent we'll have at the Sunset Temple! 

In order to do that, we're planning a "Give Love" campaign on Sunday, October 23rd to raise $15,000 to help us move.  We've done a "Give Love" campaign every year since we planted and they've involved our church giving generously towards a specific Kingdom cause, such as planting churches, supporting poor families in our neighborhood, and human trafficking rescue.  

This year, our Give Love will primarily support our move into the Sunset Temple. As you can see from the picture below, the main space at the Sunset Temple is great! The Kids ministry space is, however, gonna need some serious love as we'll need to lay concrete, redo the floors, paint, do new lighting lighting, the works! We have a plan to make the Kids space warm and welcoming for our kiddos, but it will require a financial investment and "Give Love" will help make that happen! 

With all that said, here's what we're asking everyone who considers Restored home to do:

1. Pray - Ask the Holy Spirit what He's calling you to give and how He's calling you to serve during this transition. 
2. Give - Click HERE to "Give Love"!
3. Serve - Once we start sharing other moving needs, consider jumping in to help!  

Thanks so much family for partnering with Restored to reach North Park with the good news of God's grace for us! Much love!

Restored Kids Needs 15 New Volunteers! Here's Why and What You Can Do...

As a church, we exist to welcome new people and help them experience the radical grace of Jesus. All of us who believe in Jesus were new at one point and we were welcomed in by other Christians so we could experience the radical grace of Jesus.  We want others to experience this same welcome!  

Why Kids ministry exists: One of the ways we do that is by providing a children's ministry we call Restored Kids so that parents can be fully engaged here while knowing that their kids are being cared for well.  Meanwhile, our kids get to experience the radical grace of Jesus through Bible lessons, good discussions, crafts and games in their kids community.  Our kids also get opportunities to develop friendships with each other and with our volunteer team!  

Restored Kids' greatest need right now: In the past year or so, we've had probably 1 out of every 4 volunteers on our roster step down as we've sent some to plant churches, others have given birth and had to take a season off, etc.  Our current volunteers have held down the fort and done a great job. But they need some help in the form of reinforcements! 

How you can help: We need 15 new volunteers to fully staff our Kids ministry.  By signing up, you'd be committing to serving once a once a month in Kids ministry, so you'd have one Sunday where you're back in Kids instead of in here.  

Here's the kind of people we think could step up and help us with this great need:

1. If you're here and you love Restored church, what God is doing at Restored and you're looking to get more involved, this is absolutely for you. 
2. If you love kids and especially if you love our kids and want to invest in their lives, this is for you.
3. If you're a parent that drops kids off regularly but doesn't serve, then this is definitely for you: it's actually a requirement for parents who regularly drop kids off to serve in kids.  I can't think of a group that has more of a reason to invest in Kids ministry than parents, so please sign up! 

How we're going to help you: We want to help you transition into Kids so we're putting on a kids training on Sunday, June 12th right after gathering from 11:30a-1:30p, here at Adams.  We'll provide lunch and do a training with breakout sessions.  

This training isn't just for new volunteers but it's for existing volunteers too. We're rolling out a whole new structure for Kids, new roles for you guys, a new way to of doing scheduling, just a lot of new stuff, we've been working hard to make serving in Kids better and more fun, so there's a lot we need to update you on. 

How you can sign up: We'll have iPads in the back during family time during the next couple Sundays and you can go and sign up to join the team, or you can simply click here to sign up.  

What's at stake: We want to be a welcoming, inviting church in which people can experience Jesus. With your help, we can continue to welcome families with kids so they can hear the gospel as you serve our family sacrificially and experience the joy of pouring your life into the future of the church! 

Much love guys!
