On Super Bowl Sunday, there will NOT be a Sunday night service at 6p. Instead, we will meet in houses all over the city to watch the BIG GAME! Let’s be in our community by throwing or attending a Super Bowl party! Invitations are available at the Welcome Center for hosts or if you would like to attend a party, we’ve got you covered! For more information, contact Neil, njansen@marinerschurch.org

The next three weeks we’re talking about RELATIONSHIPS, and how they are central to our happiness–and the abundant life God talks about.
anger | sex | porn | marriage | divorce
Don’t miss this… And don’t let your friends miss this.
PANCAKES! Following all services this Sunday. (Nothing wrong with breakfast for dinner 6p!) If you want to help serve pancakes, email Neil. Otherwise, come hungry.
SUPER BOWL! Everyone watches the Super Bowl (almost everyone). But no one should watch it alone. Invite your small group, neighbors, co-workers… Remember, you’re blessed as you bless others. Don’t insulate and isolate. Invite and include!
If you can’t host a party we have numerous awesome families who are opening their homes to anyone in our church. People will be on the patio this weekend with invites. Grab one and show up. Our church is full of fun, friendly people. You can be connected if you want to be–but it’s up to you. (6p service is canceled for our in-home-parties, 2/1 only.)
See you Sunday,
Caleb

Welcome to a brave new year!
Sunday we launched a new series called, “The Pursuit of Happiness.” The response has been amazing. This series is speaking to a lot of people.
We said that HAPPINESS IS RECEIVED, NOT ACHIEVED and that God blesses people who aren’t focused on blessing themselves. Many of you asked about ways you can serve. I’m going to tell you this Sunday. You can also see an updated list of opportunities Monica has posted on our website.
Our journey to a better understanding of happiness is just beginning. We’ll be continuing through the most famous sermon ever preached—Jesus’ message called the Sermon on the Mount. If you missed last week’s message, you can listen to it or pass it along here. (You might as well subscribe to the podcast, uploaded every week.)
Did you know that our church is one of the fastest growing churches in the country? Can you believe our church has grown from 150 to 826 adults this past Sunday—in just 2 1/2 years?! Numbers matter because each number represents a life (including yours), and God has a passion for every life, and plan for each person. More and more people are experiencing the love of Jesus at our church and lives are changing. And lives will keep changing because you invite people! Thank you for loving God by loving other people. You’re making a difference.
If it makes sense in your schedule, I’d encourage you to come to a service other than 10a. The 6p service is picking up great momentum. This week we’ll have food and patio loitering after the service.
Don’t worry, we’ll always make room for your family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors…so bring someone with you this week to encounter genuinely loving people, great music, and to hear a message about finding purpose in life and meaning in work. (I’m also going to give you an update on our future location.)
See you soon,
caleb
P.S.: If you haven’t signed up for Rooted, do it NOW!
This is your CHRISTMAS COMPASS letter! Are you excited? You’re probably glancing at this on your phone in line at Nordstrom, annoyed that everyone else waited so long to do their shopping and they’re making you late to your next sweater party. So I’ll keep it short and sweet:
Christmas Eve Services:
24th: 2, 4 & 6p (all services at our usual Central Library Theater)
And don’t think it’s too late to invite your family and friends. If you have to incentivize them, pull out all the stops. It’s Christmas! And everybody needs to hear how much God loves them.
We’ll have our normal services on Sunday the 28th.
Then, we’ll be starting our new series called “The Pursuit of Happiness” on January 4th. Everyone fixes their lives around what they think will make them “happy.” Yet everyone has also found happiness illusive. There’s a reason for that. We’ll talk about the secret to unlocking the ultimate life that God offers—the life you actually want. Don’t miss this series.
And don’t miss the moments this Christmas. God is here. God is Good. And God is crazy about you.
Merry Christmas,
caleb
