It is safe to say that fall is here. How do we know that? Well, football is back, the temperature has cooled, the kids are going back to school. It’s also the perfect time for me to remind you how important it is to be in community at Mariners Ocean Hills. And, one of the best ways to find community is through Rooted.
When you jump into Rooted for ten weeks, you will experience new relationships with people at the church, and a deeper relationship with God. You will begin to experience some of the key values of our Church: community, serving, openness and authenticity. Rooted is a foundational part of the life of our church, so if you haven’t done Rooted, now’s the time.
I’m excited to be back this weekend. Growing up it seemed like every time my grandmother made us dinner, or cookies, or cakes, she always raved about some special ingredient that went into it. The problem was she would never tell us what it was, so we would try to guess, but to be honest, I never had any idea so I would say “vanilla.” She would say “no,” but would never tell me what it was. This weekend, we are going to learn about the secret ingredient to having an intimate relationship with God. And the exciting part is, I am not going to keep it to myself! I am going to let you know exactly what it is. I look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
Blessings,
Jeff
