Happy New Year!

By now I’m sure the Christmas trees and decorations are down, lights put away, wrapping paper cleaned up, presents becoming old news… and the gyms are full as we begin the first week of our New Year strong!

I don’t know about you, while it’s always a gift to start a new year, it can also be challenging to get back into the rhythms of life after a Christmas break. One thing that helped me calibrate was coming to church last weekend and worshiping my way into the New Year with our church family. It was so encouraging to see our commitment to developing leaders come full circle as Ethan Hulse returned to lead us in worship along with our next generation of leaders.  And Erin, our life groups pastor, gave a great message on how to live fearlessly! (If you weren’t able to make it, click here as it will aim your heart towards courage.:)

This weekend, I am thrilled to launch us into our new series on FREEDOM. We’ll be looking at God’s heart for us through the words of Jesus as He invites all of us into the life we were designed and created to live. I’ve been so encouraged and inspired as I’ve been studying this week and I can’t wait to see you guys this weekend! Invite your friends and family to join us as we launch into the new year by remembering who God is and who we were created to be, establishing the thinking and rhythms in our lives that allow us to truly live in FREEDOM!

Looking forward to seeing you guys this weekend.

Peace,

Kyle

P.S.: Many of you have been asking about our Bible read this year and are ready to jump in! Yes, there are still hard copies available in the bookstore. There is also a digital version available through the YouVersion app here.

A Note From Erin Kerr

My name is Erin and I am the Mariners Church Life Groups Pastor! I can’t wait to be with you this weekend… I’m ALL about community!

Are you ready for 2017!? I know, I know, most of us are in a post-festive fog but the New Year is upon us and with it, all kinds of exciting plans, hopes and even fears. I think back to 2016 and there is much I am thankful for but there is also pain, discouragement and disappointment. God never promised we wouldn’t have difficulty or trouble, but He did promise He would be with us.

What if we could find strength to face whatever fears we may have in 2017 with God’s help? How different could our lives be if we were FEARLESS? No matter what unknowns, confusion, financial challenges, health problems, loss, conflicts and doubts threaten to sap our soul – what if we could find strength from the Hope, Joy, Peace and Love that we just celebrated? It’s available, we just need to be reminded how to access it.

Please invite a friend and join me this weekend as we look at how God can give us strength to be FEARLESS heading into 2017 together!
