A Note From Kyle Zimmerman

MessageFrom-IR

I’m overwhelmed as I think about all that God is doing in and through Mariners Church. We are hosting Catalyst West over these next two days where over 3500 leaders from across the country will be encouraged in their faith, and to be bold in the way they live their lives following Jesus and leading churches. This week, we’re training over 30 churches from five states in how to create disciples of Jesus that change the world, beginning with our Rooted experience. It’s exciting to think about how God is going to move in these churches as they begin this powerful journey. Last night, we launched our latest Rooted session where hundreds of people are saying yes to learning more about connecting with God, His Church and the purpose that God designed for them. It’s amazing! I love how God is not only positioning us to be a catalyst for good in Orange County, but also a church that encourages His Church around the world.

I’m praying for you guys as you live out God’s call to be the hands and feet of Jesus this week – in your schools…in your workplaces…in your neighborhoods…in your relationships. I’m praying that you’ll Reset your rhythms and your thinking around everything God wants for you and everything He designed you to be. I can’t wait to celebrate all that He is doing within you and through you. As we continue this adventure together, you’ll want to join me this weekend as our good friend, Pastor Muriithi Wanjau, from Mavuno Church in Kenya, will be teaching and inviting us to become all that God created us to be. What a great adventure we’re on as a church! Invite your friends and family to join us this weekend as we walk it out together.

Peace…
Kyle

A Note From Kyle Zimmerman

MessageFrom-IR

What an amazing Easter celebration last weekend as we gathered on Good Friday to remember the weight of our sin and the sacrifice of Jesus for us at the cross. And then we came together at Easter to experience the profound hope and power of new life found in the resurrection of Jesus!

Thousands of us invited family and friends to come and experience new beginnings through a relationship with Him and see the gospel lived out in community. Saturday and Sunday were such beautiful celebrations, reflecting the joy we have in Christ and in our relationships with one another. There were many who made decisions to trust Jesus for the first time and others of us were reminded of the beauty of walking with Jesus for a long time – that’s why I’m so excited about the series we’re launching this week, Reset.

What does it look like to walk in the life and rhythms that God has designed for each of us? We’re all in search of a reset – whatever the circumstances of life, relationships, jobs, careers – life can feel overwhelming. This weekend, we’ll begin to unpack the hope that exists. I can’t wait to launch this series with you! Looking forward to seeing you all this weekend.

Peace,

Kyle
