There are so many things seeking to separate people in the world today. Paul
reminds us of those things that bring us together in unity in his letter to the
Ephesians. Now, more than ever, do we need God’s Word and His Gospel to
guide us in truth and love. This year at Restoration Academy we will be focused
on a theme of unity as found in Ephesians 4:1– 6. As we look back on the
2019– 2020 school year, It is my desire that you would find encouragement
and hope in what you see in this annual report and give great glory to God for
the things that He is doing at Restoration Academy.
I, therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of
the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with
patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the
Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were
called to the one hope that belongs to your call—one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
— Ephesians 4:1– 6
