I love the way the Church was put on display last weekend with our students leading us in worship during the service. It was so inspiring seeing their authentic hearts for Jesus as they helped us remember and celebrate His gift to us by coming together as one family. I have the distinct privilege of witnessing the hearts of our student pastors and leaders each week as they engage students with the love of Jesus. I’m grateful you were able to get a glimpse of what I get to see on a regular basis.

Happy (almost) Mother’s Day! I can’t wait for this weekend as we gather again to remember God’s love for us and celebrate mom! You’ll be able to take a picture at one of our photo booths, enjoy chocolate-covered goodness at our fondue fountains, and listen to live music as you connect and hang out with other families on the lawn. We have some special, funny and honoring moments planned for the service. And, Kenton has a Mother’s Day message he’s so excited to teach. Invite your family, friends, and of course, your mom to join us this weekend at Mariners!

Peace…

What If: the relationships and life of meaning you want to live are on the other side of surrendering control, and increasing faith? I loved launching our new series “What If” with you guys last weekend…so many of you wrote emails or talked with me on the patio about how God was speaking to you, challenging you to trust Him and take your next step of faith. I love the authenticity we have as a church community, honestly wrestling with God’s voice and the beauty and challenge of fearlessly walking out our faith. I can’t wait to see who we become and how God uses us in the midst of this season. And I loved hanging with you guys Saturday night on the lawn at our “family dinner.” As we continue to head towards summer with warmer weather and sunshine, Saturday nights are a great time to slow down the pace of life, enjoy a meal, and laugh and connect with one another. I’d love for you to join my family and many of our staff and leaders on Saturday nights.

Looking forward to seeing you all this weekend…

Peace,

Happy Easter! It seems so long ago – can you believe it was just last weekend?! And what a weekend we shared…it was amazing to see so many people come and experience the power, truth and hope found in the death and resurrection of Jesus! I loved meeting your friends and family on the patio, hearing how proud you were they came with you to experience Jesus and community with us at Mariners.

This weekend, I’m thrilled to be launching our new series titled, What If? It seems like the questions that create the most fear and worry in life begin with “What if…” But What If the resurrection is true and Jesus is alive? What if that same power that raised Him from the dead is available to transform our lives today? What if the relationships and hope we’re longing for in this world can truly be found in following Jesus? Your friends and family will want to join you again at church this week as we launch into this series from Luke together.

And – this Saturday night we’re gonna be having a family dinner together…food and fun options for everyone! Come and meet my family, connect with others, and meet some of our staff.  We’d love for you to join us.

Peace…

This is it…Easter Week! I love the way we launched into this season last week by remembering what led up to Palm Sunday – Jesus’ compassion and love for His dear friend Lazarus, raising him from the dead. That’s what this week is all about – remembering God’s love for each and every one of us. His love is expressed in the sacrifice of Jesus at Good Friday and the power to live in freedom through His resurrection at Easter!

I have been praying all week for each of you. I prayed that you would create the time to join us as we reflect on the truths that silence the voices of shame, guilt and fear. These truths invite us to move through life in the power of the Holy Spirit with a joyful hope. We need this week…our friends, family and neighbors need this week. Take every advantage to love your friends and invite them to join you tomorrow for Good Friday and this weekend for Easter. God is so faithful and when we show up, He shows up in ways beyond what we can ask or imagine.

Peace…
