I had the opportunity to have a dinner with the Rooted leaders this week. It was so encouraging to hear stories about the transformation happening in people’s lives through this experience. As a church we stand up and encourage (ok, strongly encourage) everyone to attend Rooted. And when we hear how God delivers in the lives of people, we understand the impact. God is doing amazing things in our church through Rooted, Student Ministries and Children’s, Men’s and Women’s Ministries. I continue to thank God as He blesses us as a church, both collectively and individually. And as always, there is probably someone in your life who is looking for one of the things that is happening at Mariners Ocean Hills. I know it’s not always easy, but all they are looking for is an invitation.

This weekend we’ll be looking at a defining area in our life. As we talked about worry last week, it was a wrestling match because we all worry. If you thought worry was an issue, you may find this week’s topic to be just as big of a struggle. And don’t forget, you are going to have to “fire up” this Sunday (especially 9a service) because we move to Daylight Savings Time and lose an hour. Don’t worry, the coffee cart is waiting for you. I love doing life and ministry with you, experiencing God’s blessing and fighting the good fight together.

Take care,
Jeff
