Lost sons…which one were you? Have you been able to embrace the idea that there is a loving Father who runs to you, throws a party and wants you to join; a father who desires to be in relationship with you above all else? What a great reminder that was last weekend of who God is and how we are called to live in freedom as His children.

Speaking of freedom – Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching and we are going to have a great weekend together at Mariners. We’ll be honoring and remembering those that have given their lives for this country.

Pastor Linda from our church partner in Kenya, Mavuno Church, is here and will be speaking in the Chapel at 9 & 11a (did you know we have services in the Chapel every Sunday at 9 & 11a, in addition to the Sunday night chapel service at 7p?). I’ll be continuing in our Christian? series answering the question, “If we are disciples, followers of Jesus marked by the defining quality of Love, what are the exceptions? Are there any?”

I’ve enjoyed getting to meet so many of your friends and family on the patio these past few weeks – bring the crew this weekend and we’ll celebrate all that God is doing in us and through us as we fearlessly change the world together.

Peace…
