A Note From Jeff

This is us, Mariners MV:
…A Rooted group chatted with the elderly at Atria del Sol and watched reruns of the Dean Martin show.
…One person decided, after a recent serve-outing, to create a ministry to kids with special needs.
…A handful of guys in a Rooted group, seeing their need for deeper, more meaningful relationships with each other and with Jesus, began connecting beyond their weekly gathering to be supported and strengthened.
…Last Sunday, a number of us stood in prayer-solidarity with those in danger of losing heart.

Jesus is most powerfully made evident in the community of people who gather and serve in His name. It is during these moments where the principles of following Jesus are actualized in the people who follow Him. When the church (the body of Christ) acts in these ways, the story of Jesus is so easily articulated, warmly approachable, and undeniably good. I’m so encouraged by you and your faithfulness to the life Jesus has called us to live.

A Note From Kyle

Last weekend was powerful, wasn’t it? I love how we reflected on God’s heart for us as a loving Heavenly Father, and the idea that He never leaves or abandons us, or diminishes the call He’s given us to demonstrate that love to the world. It’s powerful to see how gratitude, generosity, and humility are unlocking the Kingdom of God in our lives, helping us to become who He’s created us to be and transforming the world through the power of His love.

Have you ever wondered about the meaning of life? What about those in your life – have they ever questioned why they are here or how to live life to the fullest? You’re not going to want to miss this weekend as we tackle that question together, launching our church into this next season, passionately focused on who we’re called to be.

Looking forward to seeing you and meeting your friends and family.

Peace…

Kyle
