It was so great last week to be able to stand in front of you and celebrate your generosity to God and to the church. Your giving over the year, and specifically at the end of the year was amazing. We are a church of people that trust God with our lives and our finances and it’s exciting to see the direction our church is going – You are jumping in in a powerful way. This weekend we are going to give you another opportunity to jump in. Rooted is getting ready to launch so NOW is the time to sign up! Rooted is a such great way to take your next step at Ocean Hills. If you haven’t participated in Rooted, it is a must, and the 10 week journey will not disappoint.

Last week we said goodbye to Allison. It was a great way to celebrate her, and launch her into the next step of God’s calling on her life.  Allison has an incredible heart to be a part of a ministry that works to end human trafficking. What an amazing task God has put on Allison’s heart. If you wish to follow her journey, Allison will be blogging at: kenyakenyakenya@blogspot.com

As a valued part of our church family, I want to invite you to help us learn and improve the way we communicate the heart and mission of our church to the world around us. This is an important endeavor for us over the next year and it all begins with feedback from you. Would you help us by clicking this link and filling out a brief questionnaire about who we are as a church? I would really appreciate your input as we continue to become who God has called us to be together. (The deadline for the questionnaire is Friday, January 30.)

Finally, this is an exciting weekend. Over the past three months we have been on a search for a new Worship Pastor. The week we will be introducing Andrew Tremblay, who will be leading us in worship. Please come and join us this Sunday as we welcome Andrew, his wife Holly, and their three beautiful children. God continues to bless us here at Mariners Ocean Hills.

Blessings,
Jeff
