Just a short note today to say that I’m praying for you. Right now, I’m sitting down and asking God to…
A) make Himself real to you
B) sustain you and give you strength
C) give you wisdom
D) bless your relationships as you try to honor Him
I love our church, and I’m grateful for you.

Children’s Ministry is now offering programs for K-5th grade at the 10a service. This opens up new volunteer opportunities for you to serve. If you are interested in serving in Port Mariners, please contact Diane.
With the close of the Sochi Olympic Games, we too are bringing our series, A Beautiful Mess, to a close this weekend. We promise, no ring-fails or drawn out historical tributes. Just good people, great music, and a message that will make you think all week. You don’t want to miss this.
In our commitment to promoting healthy relationships we’ve made several special opportunities available:
Fight Night: A perfect date — learning, laughs, and childcare. Learn more and sign up here.
Ballroom Dancing: There are still a few spots available for ballroom dancing (hosted at the YMCA in HB), but you have to sign up on the patio, or email Kevin White.
Marriage Mentoring: Get paired up with a couple who cares. Sign up on the patio or email Eric and Lori Johnson.
See you Sunday.

The USA medal count in Sochi is modest, but YOU can still be a hero. Pick up a gift for your loved one for Valentine’s Day. It’s Friday. You’re welcome.
Also, sign yourself up for FIGHT NIGHT. It will be an awesome date night filled with humor and insight about how to fight fair and develop great communication. Details are below.
And then I’ll see you on Sunday for an important message. I’m titling it “How to Get a Divorce.”
Invite somebody. It could be a game-changer for present or future relationships. (If you want to read ahead, look at 1 Corinthians 13.)
See you soon…

So, it’s February. And perhaps you’re thinking, “2014 is off to a pretty good start…My pastor’s talking about healthy relationships, I’m about to get a decent tax return, and despite the polar vortex, I’m living in the sunshine!”
Guess what? It’s about to get even better.
Friday Night: Date Night. Married couples, dating couples, couples with kids, couples without kids…This is for YOU. You’re going to arrive at the Central Library Theater at 6-6:15pm. I’m going say a few things about why dates are so important… then I’m going to give you an assignment–complete with a table card–and send you out to your place of choice. (In the meantime, we’ll watch the kids–see details below.) Don’t miss this opportunity to honor your significant other.
Sunday Morning: Parenting + Pancakes. Even if you’re not a parent you need to hear 5 Things Every Kids Needs from Adults. Plus, we’re serving another quality Pancake breakfast in the parking lot. Invite a few young families you know.
Next Weekend: Next Sunday (2/16) is the most significant message of the series. Plan ahead to attend.
Your Mariners Church staff and leader pray for you and thank God for you regularly.

We’ve received a lot of positive feedback around the “sex” talk from last Sunday. For those of you inquiring, let me remind you that you can listen to all recent messages–and pass them on–here.
This Sunday is going to be very unique and special. I have two guests who will share the stage with me, and you’re not going to want to miss it. (Try to leave your house a few minutes early, as the marathon run will be closing some local streets and causing minor delays.)
Also, continue to keep an eye out for numerous ways we’re promoting healthy relationships. Our Life Group Connection event had record attendance, with lots of people finding new groups. (If you missed it, contact Mike to get plugged in.) Next week, Date Night, with CHILDCARE. Sign up in advance at the Welcome Center.
Lastly, I hear that there’s a big sporting event going on Sunday afternoon. I don’t know anything about that, as I just read the Bible and go from closet to closet praying. However, if I were a sports fan, I’d be convinced that the Seattle Seahawks were going to break the spirit of the Broncos and win their first Superbowl. In a spirit of humility and grace, let’s remember the Broncos players and their wives in our prayers 
BTW: If you’d like to help decorate the patio this Sunday to show support for your team, contact Christen.
peace,
