In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, “Flee like a bird to your mountain, for behold, the wicked bend the bow; they have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart; if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” […]
God the Father has reconciled His created but fallen world through the death of His Son, and renews it into a Kingdom of God by His Spirit. Herman Bavinck Creation. Fall. Redemption. Restoration. We each have our own story. Our story is what makes us, ‘us’. But ‘us’ is not the end of the story. […]
We tore down the old building. They have been working all week to get ready for this. The windows came out yesterday. The backhoe started promptly at 7:00am. They had the top floor demolished by 9:00. It felt so permanent! And also so hopeful. Jesus often talks about the things that must die […]
We had a great discussion on Sunday about the things Jesus said about marriage and divorce. Around 20 people stayed for almost 90 minutes of Q&A. I love that our community thinks deeply about these things. So many really good questions. As I think about the conversation, here are some questions that came up in […]

We’re five weeks into life at Little Falls. We’re all still settling into the new normal. There’s a lot that I love about our new home, and there are a few things that are still challenging. I imagine the same is true for you. Would you let us know how you’re experiencing Restoration life these […]
Hi Restoration, Hope you have had a great week. I really enjoyed looking out over the lawn last Sunday evening and seeing so many of you munching and talking and chasing and laughing. A beautiful sight. This weekend, our bishop, John Guernsey, will join us to worship, to preach the Scriptures, and to lead us […]
This is it. Easter. Resurrection. Our last Sunday in this building on Quincy Street. The finale of the top ten reasons that Little Falls at 5pm is going to rock. Come early. Be flexible. Sing loud. This is it. Good Friday I am so grateful for the last words that Jesus spoke from the cross. […]
Over the last year and a half, Restoration has prayed every week that God would heal Carolina Handall. Carolina and her family are dear friends of some Restoration leaders. As our church took on praying and hoping, we got to meet Carolina and her sweet family. We grew in love and care for all of […]
