PREGNANCY RESOURCE CENTER CLEANING DAY
Sat, Jun 17, 10a-1p
Pregnancy Resource Center, 416 Avendia de la Estrella, San Clemente, CA 92672
What a great weekend! It was so encouraging to have the Marines from Camp Pendleton pray through our Memorial Day moment. It is wonderful to give thanks to those who gave their lives and hear the heart of those who serve. On a busy weekend, with so much going on, many of you still made it to church–way to go!
We have a great Outreach Weekend to celebrate! We had our greatest response ever, with volunteers in all of the serve opportunities. You all have a desire to be difference makers and you jumped in–making a difference in a big way. We are so excited to see all that God is going to do through your service. Also, we took in our biggest Outreach offering ever, with just over $22,000 being given towards the local and global ministries. You are always so generous, thanks for stepping out and giving so greatly.
Don’t forget! Summer Camp Out is our first Summer Calendar event. If you ever wanted to take your kids camping, but hated the idea of traveling hours away or had no desire to go anywhere without a bathroom and running water–you can join us for Summer Camp Out. We’ll have barbecue, fire pits, movies, games, and coffee and donuts in the morning. And you only have to drive to church. Night-time will be a blast and great for the kids. Don’t want to sleep over? Don’t worry! Just sneak away when no one is looking. It’s a fun time, you won’t want to miss it.
Blessings to you,
Jeff
I guess I would call this a weekend of lasts because it’s the last week of our series, What are we Doing Here? Over the last four weeks, we’ve been looking at the vision for our church, why we come to church on Sunday, and what our next step is. Because we’re finishing up the series, I felt like it’s a good time to celebrate–and there is no better way to celebrate than with snow cones. So come this Sunday and enjoy free snow cones and a great service… you can’t beat that!
Next week is our last week of community nights. So we invite you to make it a great last night by being there. Whether it would be your first time, or you’re jumping back in, or you’ve attended every week–don’t miss it! And as always, there will be one lucky table that gets “the prize of all prizes”.
Finally, it’s the last weekend to sign up for the Men’s Retreat. It’s a great weekend to go and meet other guys and recalibrate your life in some way. It’s a meaningful weekend with a lot of fun. If you know a guy, remind him to sign up–or if you are a guy, don’t be afraid to jump into this great event.
As always, it’s great doing life and ministry with you.

At some point during the month, we all make our way to church. But the question is, once we are here, what are we doing here? For some of you, you may be here out of obligation, or perhaps guilt, or maybe because someone asked you to. For others, you feel tugged on by God and you want to respond to Him. So no matter the reason you’re here, we want to explore the real purpose of why we come to church, and more specifically, why we come to this church. God has great things for us as a church, I am excited to share them with you over the next 5 weeks.
Sunday: 9 & 11a

COMMUNITY NIGHTS
Tuesdays, May 2-30, 6-8p
Well, if you were here last weekend, my guess is you are still dancing (at least to yourself), as you think about the worship that we experienced through our friends from Kenya. It was a great weekend filled with fun things for the ladies and the “interesting” experience of doing something new and stretching. As a matter of fact, you all did better than I did, I have to admit, the dancing with hand motions is not my forte.
This weekend will be another special weekend but in a different way. We will have baby dedications. It is a great picture of what life, family and church are all about. We will have a great moment during the service as we watch 11 kids get dedicated and their families thank God for the incredible gift of their children. Please plan on coming to celebrate with these families.
Just a couple things that are going on here this week that will seem special. Tonight our Pre-school is having their open house. If you want the chance to check out the Pre-school, and get a free dinner too, show up anytime between 5:30-7:00p.
And, this Saturday is our men’s breakfast. It is a great time to get together with the guys, have breakfast and listen to an inspiring talk. This Saturday’s speaker is one of our Pastors, Jim Glynn. Jim always does a great job, so we would love to have you join us at 8a. I look forward to seeing you there.
As always, great doing life and ministry with you. I hope you are having a great week.
Take care,
Jeff
