A Note From Kyle

blog-20121005-NoteFromKyle

Are you getting serious with God this season? It was so great to have Kenton back last weekend, leading, teaching, shepherding, inviting, and reminding us that when we get serious with God, He gets serious with us. And as we’re inviting friends and family to join us in experiencing God together, I’m encouraged to hear and see that many of you are remembering to make space at 11a by choosing to come Saturday night at 5p or Sunday at 9a. Let’s continue to love those who aren’t here yet by leaving seats open at the 11a service!

I know many of you are getting serious about becoming all God created you to be as part of His Church here at Mariners because we’ve launched over 800 of you into Rooted groups this past week! WOW! And, for those of you who have already been through Rooted, we’re kicking off our new Life Group season next week…and you won’t want to miss it. For others looking for relationship and community, jump in and serve our church or community. It’s a great way to meet people and hear God speak to you about who He is and what your next step could be. This is the time and the season to establish the rhythms of life that allow us to be all God created us to be!

Invite your friends and neighbors to join us this weekend. Kenton will continue launching us into fall, our friend Crystal Lewis will be back leading us in worship, and the gospel will be on display through those we invite and welcome into community.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

peace…

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7

Have you been tip-toeing through your week or have you been running at life, living with a sense of anticipation and freedom? It was so inspiring to be together, launching into this fall season last week, choosing to trust wholeheartedly in the Spirit God has given us, using fear as an indicator of where to aim instead of shrinking away. I’m so excited for all of you who are choosing to reignite your connection to God and one another through Life Groups as we move forward, so be sure to explore the options below in the Compass or talk with one of our staff or volunteers this weekend. For those of you feeling alone, looking for community, or wrestling with big questions about God, the Church, or His plans for you, I encourage you to take the step into Rooted. You can find out more here.

This weekend – I’m so excited (as I know you are:) – Kenton will be back! I can’t wait for him to share what God has placed on his heart for our church and community, inviting and encouraging us to become all of what God is calling us to be. And don’t forget to invite your friends and family who are teachers, educators, counselors, administrators, as Kenton will be affirming and blessing their commitment to teach and love the next generation.

See you this weekend.

peace…

A Note From Kyle

I can’t wait for this weekend! This season comes with so much anticipation – there’s a freshness, a newness, as we re-engage the rhythms of school, work, and, of course…football!:)  As a church, this is a unique time to begin conversations with friends, neighbors and family about becoming a part of the story God is writing here at Mariners Church, as new rhythms and routines are created.

Our staff and volunteers have been dreaming and preparing for this season. We are so excited to welcome you back this weekend, so invite your family and friends to join you as we gather to connect with God and one another…Welcome Home!

peace…
