Mariners Church Huntington Beach is growing and we are launching a new service! You now have the choice to sleep in on Sunday mornings, hit the beach and still make it to the evening service. Just be sure to leave the sand at the door!
Our fourth service begins Sunday, September 14 at 6p – join in the fun and serve on a volunteer team for our Sunday evening service! We have several opportunities available. For more info, please contact Ericka.
Pumpkin spice lattes are back at Starbucks. You know what that means… Hilary’s early-morning pilates classes just got an extra jolt of energy!
It also means that it’s September. Beyond school starting and the kick off of football season, I’m pumped about what our church has in store for you this fall.
Join us Sunday as we set the stage for the rest of the month. My message Sunday is foundational to who we are as a church.
Also, join for Beach Day. Unacceptable excuses for not showing up:
– It’s too hot
– I’m too white
– I need a new swim suit
– I’m scared of the ocean
– the Trojans are at Stanford (DVR)
Wrap up the summer with friends, food and fun! Come out and meet new friends, play at the beach and serve the community with free food and water! We’ll be grilling up hotdogs and handing out free water to anyone who is hungry or thirsty! Get details here.
Have I mentioned lately that I LOVE OUR CHURCH?! I really appreciate all of you who are now shifting out of the 10a service (when you can) to open up seats. We had an even distribution across all three services Sunday. That’s important because we’re going to see an influx of new friends in September—and we want to continue to be the welcoming, inviting church that we are.
Things are going to get even more fun this fall. I’m glad you’re with us. I’m grateful for you. And I’m spending time praying for all the people receiving this email this AM.
I’m praying for an awareness of God’s presence today—no matter where you are in your process—or journey.
Sunday is going to be another great day to kick-off your week. I hope to see you!
Bring a friend and join us as we celebrate the launch of our High School Ministry! HSM is a place where we can connect with God and others and have a blast doing it! Join us September 3 for food, games and a giveaway. See you there!

Did you do the Jeph test this week? Religion puts others on the alter…and puts on a show of flowery prayers and prescribed formalities. But God just wants YOU.
Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice… (Romans 12:1)
This week I’m talking about another ancient story with striking implications for our lives today. Be there!
Ladies: join me, Hilary, and other wonderful women at the Women’s Connect event Monday night at the library.
Peace,
Caleb
