What a great week last week! We celebrated VBS and had a fun time at Beach Day at Doheny hanging out together outside of church. Our final Summer Framly Sunday is coming up on August 3. It will be an enjoyable evening on campus for all ages.

This weekend I have the pleasure of introducing our first group of Mariners Church Ocean Hills Elders and their wives. For the last eight months, this group of men from our church family has gone through a training to become elders here at Ocean Hills. These are men who are committed to be spiritual leaders in our church, to pray for our church, to pray for me, and to pray for you. Please join us this Sunday and meet them and their wives.

Also, in two weeks, another church will be joining our campus. We have rented out the chapel to Mountainview Church. This is going to be a great blessing to the community, to Mountainview, and to us as a church. This will also make Sunday mornings more crowded. So I want to invite you to consider parking in the back parking lot to make room for our new friends, as we have given them the front lot near the Chapel because it is much more convenient for them.

This week, we will be continuing our series, EPIC. We will be looking at a great story in the Bible that we can all relate to. As a hint to the topic, “running shoes are optional.”

Blessings,

Jeff
