CATALINA KAYAK RETREAT

Space is limited

Happy August! I hope you are enjoying the warm, long days of summer and finding time to connect with family and friends in the beautiful outdoors! I love the slower pace of summer and the carefree opportunities we have to take more time to invest in others and our walk with Jesus.

One of the key times for our students to invest in their faith happens next week at summer camp. We are sending off over 500 of our junior high and high school students and 120 leaders to camp at Forest Home and Lost Canyon. This is an incredibly powerful week where students will experience being away from home (some for the very first time), given unconditional love and community through cabin talks and time with their leaders, and hear from God in new ways.

Would you join me in praying for our students to encounter Jesus in a powerful way next week at camp? Also let’s pray that God would use the leaders who are going to influence and love our students in significant ways. I know that many students make bold faith decisions through what they experience at camp and I can’t wait to hear the stories of life change from our students when they return!

Before heading to camp to speak to our high school students, Doug Fields will be kicking off our new series this weekend in the Worship Center, called REFUEL. In today’s fast-paced world it is easy to find ourselves running on empty. Join us as we learn practical and sustainable ways of putting God first, so we can experience the fullness of life that He has for us. Invite a friend to come with you and take time to refuel. It’s a great way to spend the last weeks of summer together!

Hope to see you there!

I hope you’re getting the most out of summer and enjoying the long sunny days, warm water, cool breezes, beautiful sunsets, beach bonfires, BBQs with friends and neighbors…summer is such a beautiful time to create space to connect with family and friends! I love the way we take advantage of this season as a church with VBS, day camps, serve trips, and of course, our Summer Saturday Nights! It’s been so fun seeing many of you jumping in and joining us on Saturdays after the 5p service, building relationships together through activities, food and fun on the patio. If you haven’t tried Summer Saturday Nights yet, bring someone with you and join us this weekend as we experience some of the best of summer together!

This weekend, we will conclude our series in James, Faith in Action. We’ll close it off in chapter 5, looking at the practical wisdom James gives on prayer – when to pray, why to pray, and most importantly, how to pray together in community for God’s healing. Then, we’ll take time to live this out together in a healing service! This is a perfect weekend to invite your friends, family and neighbors to come, see, hear and experience firsthand the beauty and power of Jesus and His Church.

Looking forward to seeing you, your family and friends this weekend!

Peace,

Kyle
