God’s intention about his creation is not limited to being the Maker but also as the Keeper. The Book of Psalms 23 affirms his activeness and total care in the lives of his people of which continuous restoration and renewal are vital. The third verse of this Bible passage confirms this He restores my soul. Thus, restoration as a continuous process through God’s spirit is affiliated with renewal that begins with inner transformation which eventually leads to physical confirmation.

The Renewal unit as one of the units in The Chapel of Glory Ministries, also known as Cherubim and Seraphim Church of Calgary, Canada is designed to support the general well-being of older adults within the congregation.
