After being gone for a few weeks, I was so excited to be back and worship with our church last weekend! God did not disappoint my sense of anticipation as we were led powerfully in worship by Crystal Lewis and Bianca Olthoff! Their passion was evident as they invited us to become more like Him and who He created us to be.

This past Tuesday morning our staff gathered at city halls around Orange County (Newport, Irvine and Costa Mesa) to share stories about what God is doing and to pray for our cities, our communities, our families. Even in the midst of these beautiful backdrops, I was reminded of the many challenges and difficulties people face every day…that’s why I’m so excited about our EPIC message series, and specifically, the hero we’ll be talking about this weekend. It’s one of my favorite heroes who is a great model of how to navigate the challenges and adversity we face in life that threatens to overwhelm us. Be sure to invite your friends, neighbors, and family to join us at one of our services.

And, don’t forget – our Summer Concert Series continues this Saturday night where we get to hang out after the service together in community and listen to some talented musical artists. Hope to see you there!

Peace,

Kyle
