Join us as we gather in community for The Prayer Circle to experience God in different ways, including Bible study, music, prayer and journaling. We’ll learn biblical principles to an effective prayer life, then apply these concepts through a study about what God promises for protection, faith & love, wisdom, Godly thinking, and faithful servant.

I love the way we are walking into 2015 together, pursuing happiness by pursuing God…following Jesus, being salt and light in this world. I love our weekend experiences and the practical wisdom we’re gaining from Jesus and His Sermon on the Mount. It’s been so fun reconnecting with you and one another, meeting the friends and family you’re bringing to go on this journey with us. Join us again this weekend as we continue in our Pursuit of Happiness series.

Also, as a valued part of our church family, I want to invite you to help us learn and improve the way we communicate the heart and mission of our church to the world around us. This is an important endeavor for us over the next year and it all begins with feedback from you. Would you help us by clicking this link and filling out a brief questionnaire about who we are as a church? I would really appreciate your input as we continue to become who God has called us to be together. (The deadline for the questionnaire is Friday, January 30.)

Hope you’re having an amazing week. I’m praying for you and our community…

Peace,
Kyle

Happy New Year! I hope and pray you were able to experience the beauty of Christmas and the New Year, spending time with family and friends, having fun, laughing and enjoying one another. I love that you all made this Christmas one of the most amazing ever at Mariners Church, as almost 2,000 more people joined us for Christmas services this year than last year! You guys are loving your family, friends and neighbors well, inviting them to join the story that God is writing in your life and here at Mariners Church.

Last week, we launched into the new year together with our Pursuit of Happiness series, remembering that the pursuit of happiness begins with the pursuit of God. My prayer is that you have been looking, listening and experiencing God in new and profound ways this week. The series continues this weekend. Kenton will be back with another chapter of Jesus’ message to us out of Matthew 5, so invite your family and friends to join us.

One of the things we don’t want you miss out on is doing life together through Life Groups, where we learn to more clearly discern God’s voice and live our lives with purpose and meaning. Whether you are new to our church or have been coming to Mariners for a while – I want to invite you to join a Life Group. The starting point for all of our Life Groups begins in a couple of weeks with Rooted. If you haven’t gone on the Rooted journey with us, now’s the time. Rooted is the place to dive in and learn what God’s voice sounds like and start developing healthy spiritual rhythms in your life where you can become all God has designed you to be. And, the best part is you get to do it with others, pursuing life right where you are. Jump in!

Looking forward to seeing you all this weekend as we continue to discover all God has for us in 2015!

Peace…

Kyle
