BLESS News Notes

Sunday, October 7 through November 4th - BLESS Message Series

God made a promise to a chosen people a long time ago. He promised to bless them so that they could be a blessing to others. God fulfilled that promise through Jesus and we are invited into the same promise. This teaching series will outline five natural practices to live your faith with people who love Jesus AND people who are far from Jesus. Starting Sunday, October 7, we will introduce each practice and offer specific examples to integrate into your actual life. Contact: kararasmussen@restorationcov.org

Sunday, November 4th - Food on the First

At the start of the month, we donate food for Westview Elementary School staff to distribute from a “food locker” to hungry families. To help, head to the store for healthful, non-perishable food and bring it to church. Gift cards in any amount to Cub, Wal-Mart or Target will also be greatly appreciated since they help families purchase meat and fresh produce. Cash, check and designated online donations go to The Sheridan Story program that puts a weekend meal in participating students’ backpacks every Friday of the school year.
