Let the craziness begin. As we enter into the holiday season, you are still in the midst of the lull, but that will soon change. The holiday rush is only a week away and we can tend to push things aside as we try to do everything. I want to encourage you not to push God aside. This holiday season we have some incredible things planned that will help you focus on Jesus and celebrate His birth in a fun and engaging way. All of this kicks off this Sunday as we focus our hearts towards God with a spirit of thanksgiving. We will be finishing up our Obsessed series with a message that will hit home with all of us.

We continue to hear great stories about the You Matter Bags. Once again, thank you for your incredible generosity. I am amazed at how many Christmas tags were taken, as well as the continued dropping off of Thanksgiving food bags. You are making a difference in the lives of so many people. We want to be a church that makes a difference in the community by helping out those in need, as well as having a heart that invites people into all that God is doing here at Mariners Ocean Hills. Our annual Tree Lighting is a great event to invite people to. It’s fun, casual, and will get people into the holiday spirit. You won’t want to miss this fun time together – and be sure to invite a friend.

God is at work in our church. I love doing life and ministry with you.

Blessings,
Jeff
