Ownership Next Steps Class
Ownership is our version of membership. In the Next Steps Class you will discover what it means to be an owner at Restoration Church. You will hear our Story, the vision of RC + WHO WE ARE (beliefs, leadership structure), HOW WE LIVE (Way of Life), and HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED (opps, ownership commitment, next steps).
Next Steps will be held on Sunday after the worship service, approx 11:45am-1:00pm. We will meet right at the stage and grab a table in the corner. For those available we'll gather for lunch immediately after at a restaurant in the Kentlands.
We will send you a packet of notes along with our church bylaws to review before the orientation. Reviewing each and making notes/questions is a key part of making the most of our time together.
Completing the Steps Class is required to become an Owner.

LPMS Food Pantry Collection
We started the pantry once students were back from COVID as a way to fill in some gaps for students who truly don’t have enough. We give small water bottles and individually wrapped snacks (fruit cups are best) for students who go to the counseling dept. These snacks help students feel a little more cared for, which opens doors.
THIS SUNDAY is the first collection of the new school year. Please bring donations and place them on the floor near the doorway to the hall on Sunday.
We will collect items on the first Sun of each month. So if you can't bring something this Sunday or won't be present you can bring items the first Sunday of October.
THANK YOU!
More events coming soon!

Hello LPMS Families,
Teacher and Staff Appreciation week is fast approaching! This year we will be celebrating May 8th-12th. During this week we would encourage families to recognize their students' teachers, para-educators, and staff that have helped them this year-anything from a hand written letter to a gift card would brighten their day. The LPMS PTSA will be raising money to sponsor a staff lunch that will cost approximately $1,500. To help us appreciate the staff, please consider making a donation through our PTSA website. Please also see the sign-up genius to help us with collecting $10 gift cards. These $10 gift cards will be supporting para-educators, building service workers, cafeteria workers, secretaries, security assistants, and others. Thank you for supporting all the staff at LPMS!
PTSA Staff Appreciation Committee

Once we have more details about how to get involved we will let you know. Let's pray that we truly BLESS the staff so they know and feel the love of God through us.
