A Note From Kyle Zimmerman

One another

These words appear together almost one hundred times in the New Testament alone. They define us as they acknowledge we were created to live in relationship with both God as well as each other. They can also create fear for many of us who have been hurt by others. These words are the reason we are launching our new Art of Relationships series this weekend.

We’ve spent the past three weeks focusing on our relationship with God, learning to hear His voice and His truth in the midst of all the noise of this world. Now, we begin six weeks on how to live out that truth with one another. All of us have relational wounds and desires. We’ve been hurt, abandoned, and lied to. We’ve been frustrated and often feel empty and alone. These next six weeks will help restore our identity, heal our brokenness, and reignite our hope in relationships.

This is the perfect time for you to invite your friends and family to join us as we launch this series…I hope to see you guys this weekend.

Peace,
Kyle

Happy New Year! I hope you guys enjoyed Christmas with your family and friends, soaking in the truth of who Jesus really is. Now we look forward to the New Year and the opportunity to reset our lives, our rhythms, and our relationships around the things that truly matter.

This weekend, I am excited as we launch our new Tune In series together. What’s the one thing you could do that would aim and change your life this year? The one thing that would guide you, encourage you, challenge you and even inspire you? This is what we will discover together as we meet this weekend.

I also want to invite you to join Rooted. Now is the time to jump in if you haven’t already! Rooted is a journey where you get to experience what it’s like to hear from God, connect with others in a loving community and be reminded of the purpose, dreams and passions God has given you. Rooted will change your life as you connect with God and others. Don’t miss out, sign up now!

Looking forward to being with you all this weekend as we start off the New Year together!

Peace,

Kyle

Merry Christmas!

I was just with my family at Pacific City and watched Jack (2-year-old) run around from Christmas tree to Christmas tree pointing and telling anybody within ear-shot, “It’s Christmas!” Hank the Tank (9-month-old) was just staring blankly while gnawing on bread crust. But it was a beautiful family moment.

It is Christmas, in fact. And it’s coming in hot.

No idea where you stand with gifts, parties, decorations, eggnog, or family dysfunction, but ready or not, Christmas is almost here.

Even if your circumstances are not what you’d hoped today, remember that Christmas is not about what’s happening, but what has happened. God came near. And the Good News just keeps on coming… God still comes near!

Don’t miss any opportunity to notice how close, how real, and how GOOD God is this season. There is probably something he wants to whisper to you amid all the noise this week, so slow down and pay attention.

Join us this Sunday at our normal service times. And then, of course, for our Christmas Eve services:

23rd: 4, 6p
24th: 2, 4, 6p

…All at the Central Library Theater.

Bring someone with you. An invitation could change the trajectory of someone’s life.

Merry Christmas, and peace be with you.

PPS: Give year-end and Step In offerings here.

PPPS: No Sunday services on the 27th, as we seek to protect and honor the families of our 110+ volunteers who serve each Sunday.
