Hello everyone!

Summer is in full effect – and what a week it’s been here at Mariners!

We’ve received great feedback from so many of you about last weekend’s speaker Danielle Strickland. Danielle’s message on freedom from Galatians 5:1 is definitely worth checking out online if you missed it. Or maybe it’s time to watch it again if you’re fighting fear this week.

With over 2,000 kids from our community experiencing VBS, the campus has been electric as our kids build relationships and learn about God’s love and power! Each year over 1,000 volunteers [over half from our Student Ministry!] serve our kids by directing them to Jesus’ heart of love and redemption. Through VBS, the kids are raising money to support a village in Egypt – so make sure to donate or stop by a lemonade stand this week!

This weekend our friend Jud Wilhite from Central Christian Church in Arizona will be speaking. Jud is a tremendously gifted pastor, author, and speaker and we are looking forward to having him back at Mariners as we continue in our book of James series.

I hope you have a memorable July 4th with family and friends!

Joe Hays
Experience Pastor
