Welcome to November! The months march on. And so does the Step In Film Festival.

Step In: What an incredible few weeks it’s been—short films from creatives in our community, patio shenanigans, visual design images of our future theater…

I’ve begun visiting some life groups during the week to answer questions and clarify our next steps as we move toward the Regency movie theater (expected move-in date: late summer). I’ll continue visiting groups through early next year. What a joy it is to see so many of you connected in meaningful community, doing life together, studying the Bible together, eating food together… Life is better this way.

<<If you need help plugging into a group, email Neil or Ericka>>

Sunday: Please take a moment to pray. Ask God if there is anyone you should invite to church this Sunday. I’m going to be talking about how suffering is an inevitable part of life, but God uses it for good. This will be an important message. All of us go through difficult seasons, and need to cling to hope. Many of us are going through difficult seasons RIGHT NOW. And so are some of your friends. Bring them with you–8:30, 10, 11:30a & 6p.

Social media: Follow Mariners HB on Instagram and Facebook for daily prayer prompts and updates on all kinds of thing going on. Follow me, too, for daily encouragement based on last week’s message—being intentional about our thoughts…letting God renew our minds.

Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.  Philippians 4:8-9 (MSG)

See you Sunday,
