Restoration 2.0

This week Restoration is going to version 2.0. We have been experimenting with some different rhythms of gathering to worship and serve and have learned a few things.

We have learned -

1. We love to serve. I have heard this again and again from people. We even have kids telling their parents they love Restoration because they get to serve! In the next two months we will do a Denver Easter feast for the homeless and an extreme makeover project on a house. We now serve on the last Saturday of the month. Maybe we will call it “Service Saturday”? We are also doing a weekly feeding on Thursday mornings. Over time we will have projects every week.

2. We like to be together. We will begin to worship weekly, except for Service Saturday (told ya – catchy heh?). This will give us more opportunities to be together and build momentum as a community. We have had a number of people showing up only to realize they came on the wrong week. Our new rhythm will be much more memorable.

3. We need growth communities. We will launch 17 of these in March. These communities made up of 8-20 people will round us out as a community that desires to see the image of God restored in us all. We will have growth communities for people in various stages of spiritual maturity, spiritual explorers to highly loving Christ followers.

4. We could really use a Family Life Director. I was prayer walking the neighborhood where we gather for worship. As I went by house after house I sensed God saying “you reach these people through their kids.” The sooner we can hire a great FLD and Youth Leader the better so that we can make these ministries fun, warm, inviting and deep.

Bring on Restoration 2.0!
