You’re in for a Compass treat today! I asked the newly married champion of our Outreach Ministry, Monica Bannister, to write a note today. Read it below!

It is a true privilege to be a part of this community at Mariners HB! Last night my husband and I had our life group over for dinner; through the moments of shared laughter, conversations about the joys and pains of life, and Mexican food, I was reminded of God’s faithfulness and the beautiful blessings He gives us through living life in community. This month marks three years since I moved here from WA state. I now feel at home here because of the community God has surrounded me with. I hope you experience the same beauty and blessing of this community too. If you haven’t gotten plugged in yet, there are many ways each week to get involved!
One of my favorite things about this community is the way we love those around us…the way we serve this city…I believe our church is fearlessly changing this city and the world, one person at a time. This Saturday (6/20) we have two ways for you to join us in making a difference: the Oak View Community Father’s Day Celebration and the Murdy Community Center Summer Kick-Off. Next weekend, we’re traveling to Mexico for the day to do construction on a local church in Tijuana and to build relationships with the community there. (See below in the Compass for more details on all these events!)
When we show up and serve, we get to love others the way God loves us and immeasurable joy inevitably follows as our community grows and we encounter God in new ways…Join us!! Or send me a quick note. I would love to chat with you about more ways you can make a difference in our community. My email is mbannister@marinerschurch.org
We’re in the middle of our series called Listen. Caleb will be teaching this Sunday, and continuing to guide us in practical ways that we can hear God’s voice.
And…Sunday is Father’s Day!! It’s going to be a great celebration…Fathers will be honored and encouraged. Make sure to bring the men in your life!
I am grateful to live life alongside all of you!
Monica
