New Gathering Times & Location!

Tomorrow we move to two gatherings and will be at a new location! We wanted to briefly remind you of a few things to make the transition to our new space and gathering times easier for you and your family:

GATHERING DETAILS

Starting tomorrow, we will be meeting at Hardihood, 4379 30th Street, San Diego, CA 92104. Gathering times will be 9 & 11 AM. Kids Ministry will only be available at the 9 AM Gathering.

If you don't have kids and have some flexibility Sunday, we would love it if you would come to the 11 AM gathering. We want to ensure there is space for any visitors, especially on launch day. We appreciate your flexibility and willingness to prioritize the second service!

FAMILY PARKING

Street parking is available in the neighborhood surrounding Hardihood. All metered parking, green zones, and yellow zones are free on Sundays! If you have small children, you can park in the Family Lot behind Hardihood accessed through the alley. Spots 5-15 are available for Restored families.

JOIN US FOR PRAYER

Every Sunday, we pray together for our gathering, our community, and our city. Join us at 8 AM tomorrow in the Kids Ministry Room for pre-gathering prayer!

We look forward to worshipping with you tomorrow!

Want to Invite Someone to Easter? Use These Three Simple Steps...

This Sunday is Easter Sunday and we want to encourage you to invite two people to join our church family at either the 9AM or 11AM Gatherings! If you don't know where to begin, here are three simple steps you can take to get started...

1. Pray

Take 5 minutes to pray and ask God who He specifically wants you to invite. If He brings a name or face to mind, go for it! Research shows that many Americans are open to but undecided about attending an Easter service. Which means that a personal invitation from a friend or family member (maybe you!) could make a huge difference!

2. Relax

Maybe you have people in mind to ask, but feel anxious about asking. Our fear of rejection is real and we've likely all dealt with it on some level. The good news is that even if someone rejects you, Jesus never will. On the cross, He proved His never-stopping, never giving-up, never-ending love for each of us. As we grow confident in His love, we'll be less concerned with what people think about us and more concerned with what people think about Jesus!

3. Make the Ask

Once you relax and remember that your identity isn't on the line and that you are secure in Jesus' love, you're ready to make an ask. Seek to be warm and welcoming, like Jesus, and avoid anything that may feel awkward or pushy to others. You can say something like, "I don't know if you know this, but I'm part of a church in North Park. We are having Easter services this Sunday and I would love for you to join me!"

If they say, yes, great! Then give them the details:

When: This Sunday, April 21 at 9AM* or 11AM

Where: Jefferson Elementary School | 3770 Utah St, San Diego, CA 92104 (Parking is available at ACE Parking Garage at 3829 29th St. 92104. We'll have complimentary parking vouchers at the coordinator's table for guests.)

*Kids Ministry will only be available at the 9AM Gathering, so if you're inviting someone with kids, tell them to come at 9!

We can't wait to celebrate with you on Sunday! Remember: pray, relax, and make the ask! You won't regret it.

Check out Uptown's Prep Week!

Hey, Uptown family!

We are only three Sundays away from relaunching in North Park on May 13th and we're excited to invite you to a few "Prep Week" events to help us gear up for our move. 

Sun, 4/29 @ 5:00p: Generosity Sunday gathering at Moniker Warehouse

Tue, 5/1 @ 6:30-9p: Jefferson Dry Run + Volunteer Training

Come and join us for dinner as we cast vision for our move and do a Sunday gathering dry run to prepare our serve teams for the new space. 

This event is for anyone that's currently on a serve team, but if you are not currently on a serve team, this is a good time to join! RSVP below to the Dry Run or email nicole@restoredsd.com for more information. 

Please RSVP HERE so we have an accurate headcount for food. 

Wed, 5/2 @7:00P: Seek Night at HardiHood Cowork

Join us for a night of prayer and worship as we seek God together on behalf of our city and the new season we are stepping into at Jefferson Elementary. This is for anyone who calls Restored their home church and we hope all members will find a way to be there!

Please RSVP HERE for our Seek Night! Note: plan on eating dinner beforehand!

Sun, 5/6 @ 10:00A: Restored Temecula Launch!

We will not gather in Uptown on May 6th but, instead, want to encourage you to head up to Restored Temecula's launch at Margarita Middle School at 10:00A! Carpool with some Uptown friends if you can. If you have kids, please try to find separate childcare if possible. We love our kiddos and Temecula does too, but please keep in mind that Temecula's children's ministry will be understaffed and we desire for Uptown to bless and encourage them on their launch, not overburden them. Thanks for your understanding.

Help Uptown Raise $12k on Generosity Sunday!

Generosity Sunday is April 29th!

On Sunday, April 15th, Andy kicked off a 3-week mini-series called, "The Compelling Community" and preached on generosity (sermon link). Andy shared that we have two big financial needs in our church - funding our move and relaunch at Jefferson Elementary and blessing the Arandas - and together we want to raise $12,000 to meet them on April 29th. 

To help prepare our hearts to give, we want to encourage you to set aside 15-20 minutes this week to intentionally think through and pray about what your gift will be, and use the following questions to help you: 

1. Take a couple min to prayerfully think through what you’d like to give. (2 Cor 9:7)
2. Once you’ve decided on a number, ask God, is this gift sacrificial? (Luke 21:1-4)
3. Do I plan to follow through on giving this gift? What do I need to do to remember to give it? (2 Cor 9:1-5)
4. Does this gift demonstrate that I worship Jesus, not money? (Luke 16:13)
5. Am I excited about this gift? (2 Cor. 9:6-8)
6. Is this gift motivated by gratitude for the grace shown to me? (2 Cor. 8:9)

Once you're ready, you can click on the link below to give! 

Give Now!

We pray that God's generosity towards us would fuel our hearts and our gifts! 

"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich." 2 Cor 8:9

Christmas Eve Service Details!

We're so excited to celebrate Christmas with you and want to share details to help the morning be as smooth as possible for you and your friends:

Gathering, Prayer, & Kids Times!

1. Gathering: Our Christmas Eve gathering will be at 10:00a, not 9:00a! Enjoy the extra sleep!
2. Prayer: Our prayer meeting will be at 9:00a, not 8:00a, at the usual spot upstairs at the Sunset Temple!
3. Kids Ministry: If your child is singing during the gathering, please arrive by 9:30a sharp for song practice at the main stage at the Sunset Temple! After song practice ends around 9:45a, we'll have you check your child in downstairs. If your child is not singing during the gathering, please drop them off between 9:45a-10:00a! 

Parking Details!

Here are the three best options for parking on Christmas Eve around the Sunset Temple: 

1. ACE Parking Garage: We want to encourage you to let your guests know in advance that they can park at ACE Parking Garage located at 3829 29th St. about a block away from Sunset Temple. They can bring their parking pass into the worship service and ask our Service Coordinator for a parking voucher. 
2. Street Parking: Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday this year which means that MOST PARKING REGULATIONS ARE NOT ENFORCED that day. Specifically, you will not be ticketed if you park in a metered spot, yellow commercial zone, short-term green zone or 1- to 2-hour time parking zone on Sunday, so take advantage of that if you can!
3. Family Parking: For families with small children we have very close parking available directly across the street (Kansas) from Sunset Temple behind North Park Rug + Carpet located at 2894 University Ave. There are limited spots available, so we ask that you DO NOT park here unless you have small children. 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact a staff member or email info@restoredsd.com. Thank you so much and we'll see you on Christmas Eve at 10:00a!
