Pumpkin Party

Kids and Student Ministries are joining forces to bring you a festive event for the whole church. We are meeting at 12156 Nicollet Ave in Burnsville from 6:30-8:00pm on Friday, October 29 to carve pumpkins, enjoy some snacks, and compete for candy prizes. Kids, students, and parents work together to carve and decorate their pumpkins in interesting and unique ways. After pumpkin carving, Students Ministry will host a mystery competition for the whole family. We will have carving tools and craft supplies on hand so just bring your friends, your creativity and, of course, a pumpkin! Have fun and leave the clean-up to us. Snacks are provided so an RSVP will help us plan. Contact ChrystineVilhauer@restorationcov.org.

Elementary

God is one of a kind, with no beginning and no end. Everything God has created is unique and one of a kind, including people created in God’s image. Every person is an original reflection of God in how they love, care for others, imagine, create, and solve problems. To see how we can do this well, we should look to Jesus. Jesus showed us what it means to be created in God’s image in the way He loved all people and helped people feel like they had value—no matter who they were or what they had done. We can reflect this as we discover who we’re meant to be and live out the individuality God gave us.

“How you made me is amazing and wonderful. I praise you for that. What you have done is wonderful. I know that very well. “ Psalm 139:14, NIrV

Preschool

Preschoolers love to show adults how BIG they are . . . “Look at my BIG muscles! Look how BIG I can jump! Look at this BIG bite!” We don’t have to teach a preschooler to show everyone how big they are. And, if we’re all honest, there’s something deep inside us that wants to do something big, too. We want to show the world that we can do things that matter—things that really matter. Could it be that we were all made to do big things? We think so. That is why we have planned an entire month around what being a Super Kid really looks like—doing the things God made us to do. God made us to do BIG things!

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid…for the Lord your God goes with you.” Deuteronomy 31:6, NIV

Raking Event

We were made to love and be loved by others. It’s why we care about finding family, making friends, and joining things bigger than ourselves. The thing is, while it’s easy to be liked and to receive gifts from others, the reverse isn’t always true. Giving our time, energy, and love to others isn’t always immediately rewarding but it’s what we are made for in the long run. It’s why making someone else smile feels so right.

On October 20th from 4-6:30pm Students Ministry will give you the opportunity to take a Fall chore off someone’s plate: raking their yard! Help a neighbor by showing up at Restoration, bring a rake, gloves, clothes that can get dirty, and a can-do attitude.
