Can you feel the excitement?! Right now, (as you read this), our campus is being transformed into one of the best fall celebrations in OC–Harvest Carnival! It’s our annual community celebration where kids in costumes come from all around Orange County to play games, ride fun rides, eat tasty food (& candy!), and listen to great music. It’s our opportunity to share the gift of relationship with our friends and neighbors, and the joy we find in Jesus and one another. You will not want to miss this night of fun. So be sure to come, and invite a friend to join you.

Are you loving our weekend series, The Outsider’s Guide to Jesus? How have you been responding to God’s voice this week – with a Zechariah-like posture of disbelief that says, “God can’t…He won’t…”? Or, with a posture like Mary, believing God can and will do what He says, but wonder…how will this happen?

So many questions are stirred up when the promises of God collide with this world, and seemingly contradict the circumstances of our lives. This weekend, we’ll dive deeper into these questions, and look closer at what it’s like to follow Jesus and trust God’s voice and promises in our lives–even when it doesn’t seem to add up. It will be a time of encouragement, as we navigate this world together with Jesus, finding hope and truth even in the most desperate and confusing circumstances. There are people in our lives – friends, family, neighbors, classmates, co-workers – who are searching for the message of truth and hope…the message of Jesus.  Invite them to join you this weekend as we become the community God designed us to be. Looking forward to seeing you guys…

Peace,

Kyle
