Mission Viejo

A Note From Jeff Maguire

We talk a lot about inviting people to our church. We believe that part of our being in the community for the community means that, at a minimum, people ought to be included in what’s going on at Mariners Mission Viejo. I love meeting the friends you’ve invited. Generally, they’re surprised by two things: the wall (obviously) and the fact that they actually enjoyed being here: the music, the laughter, the coffee, the kids ministry, an honest depiction of Jesus, and the people (you!). There is a very real sense among people from our community that being here is where they belong.

Tomorrow night (October 24th from 4:30-7:30p) we’re throwing a neighborhood-sized party at nearby Viejo Elementary School (26782 Via Grande Mission Viejo, 92691) — our first ever HARVEST CARNIVAL. This will be a great expression of the church and the love we have for the community in which God has placed us. The event will be a blast. We’ve got our band performing live music, authentic Mexican food, a maze, face painting, game booths, and absurd amounts of candy (our candy donation bin is overflowing).

If your kids want to wear a costume, that’d be awesome. If you want to wear a costume — even better. Admission is free. Attraction wristbands are $5 for kids under five and $8 for kids older than six (cash only). Anything you spend goes to support the school. Don’t miss it. Invite your friends and neighbors. Show them how you and your church LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE.

See you Friday,
Jeff

Ok, I know I say this a lot, but this coming weekend is one of my favorites. Not only do we have a great time planned in service, but we get to enjoy the Harvest Carnival. So, expect all of the things that you have experienced in church, but also expect: bounce houses, a petting zoo, pony rides, bungee jump and of course the Chili Cook-off (in which I am bringing my world-famous recipe). It’s going to be a fun Sunday, so make sure you are there and bring a friend if you can. We’ll be continuing in the series Love Where You Live. The first week we talked about how God has said the identifiable mark of a Christian is our love for each other and then last week Cole talked about the idea that God has placed you in your neighborhood for a purpose. This week, I’ll be looking at the idea that we all have relationships that are strained and how we can reconcile broken relationships.

See you this Sunday…come hungry!

Blessings,
Jeff

Harvest Carnival is tomorrow night! As I walk across the campus, I’m so excited to see the preparation and the hard work as we completely transform our campus into a place that displays what we’ve been talking about this month in Love Where You Live. We have such a great opportunity to put the gospel and our relationship with God and one another on display in a really fun environment for our family, friends and neighbors. Invite them to come, if you haven’t already. They’ll want to be a part of all the fun we get to have as a community tomorrow night.

Then, invite them to come back this weekend and experience the truth of a relationship with Jesus. We’ll explore what that looks like as God reminds us about who He is and who He’s called us to be and gives us a more complete picture of Him and how to love one another.

I can’t wait to see you guys tomorrow night and this weekend as we continue through this series together. Be sure to check out the opportunities below for ways to walk through life together, loving and serving those around us.

Peace,
Kyle

What would happen if we got serious about loving the people in our communities – wherever that might be? What would happen if we broke through all the barriers that keep our communities as merely a collection of polite strangers? What would it look like if we stopped dreaming about our next move and…

…truly loved where we lived?
