A Note From Kyle Zimmerman
Who are you? When we look at that question through the lens of culture, we tend to start with what we do, the relationships we have, what we possess, the things we’ve accomplished, how we look…or the places where we fall short of the world’s or our own expectations. That’s why I loved where we started our Beautiful Mess series last week…our identity. Who we are – that we were designed and created by a loving heavenly Father to walk in the fullness of a relationship with Him and one another. I can’t wait to see how this series continues to unfold and the healing that will take place as our lives are reshaped by our Creator.
I’m looking forward to this weekend and all that it holds for our church and community. There are so many opportunities to love the people around us and invite them to see the beauty of the Church on display. The Beautiful Mess series continues. Kenton will be laughing and mocking me as I swim across the lake after our Saturday night service (I can’t believe I lost the bet:), and of course our winter session of Rooted begins next week. If you’ve never been to Rooted or there are folks in your life looking for a place to dive into understanding more about who they are, who God is, and how His story gets lived out through His Church in this world, we’d love to have you join us.
Peace…

Have You Experienced Rooted?
Rooted is a 10-week journey that has changed thousands of lives at Mariners Church.
Rooted provides the opportunity to connect with God, the church community and your purpose in unexpected, life-changing ways. The experience redefines how people live life and view their relationship with God and others, giving context to what it means to be a part of something bigger. You will begin to see God in new ways, allowing you to experience a different way of life: community, authenticity and generosity.

A Note From Kyle Zimmerman
But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13b, 14
Have you been “forgetting” what is behind and “pressing on” this week? What an amazing weekend we shared together last weekend as Albert Tate gave such a beautiful invitation into the freedom and life that God offers as. I love the spiritual and relational momentum I see God continuing to build in our church, and I can’t wait to see all that He has for us this year.
This weekend we launch our relationship series Beautiful Mess where we get to dive into God’s Word and unpack the questions you all posed throughout the month of December. I’ll be revealing who won the bet between Kenton and me (and who will be swimming across the lake :)).
This is the last weekend to sign up for our winter session of Rooted, where our understanding of God, His Church and our purpose becomes more clear in the context of smaller community. Take advantage of this unique season to establish solid rhythms of life and relationship, and let’s continue to invite friends and family to join us on this adventure.
See you all this weekend…
Peace,
kyle
