We had so much fun on Sunday for “Framily” Night. It was such a great night listening to music, eating good food, playing games, and being in community with one another. So thank you to all who came and made it such a fun experience and to those of you who missed it, we will definitely do it again next summer so you can join in! We have our final summer “Framily” gathering on Sunday, August 9, and it’s a pancake breakfast! It will be a fun-filled afternoon, spending time in community with one another. So be sure to grab a friend and come hungry for some homemade pancakes after services.
I’m really enjoying this series, “Oh! The Places We’ll Go,” and hope you are too. This week we’ll be looking at how we can oftentimes trip ourselves up and find ourselves struggling and alone, and how God has called us – giving us exactly what we need. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
Blessings,
Jeff
We are in the third week of the series, Oh! The Places We’ll Go. We realize that life is a journey, and we all have places we want to go. This week we will learn that where we go and who we go with can be the difference between the journey we have always dreamed of and a bad trip.
This Sunday evening is our second “Framily” night. This evening is going to be a great night, so invite your friends and family. We will have games and events for all ages, from bounce houses for the little kids, to trampoline bungee jumps for the big ones. We will have a cover band, a fun illusionist (who thinks he’s funny), and some delicious tacos. And it is all free. So invite some friends and come on out at 5p on Sunday for a great time together.
See you Sunday,
Jeff

VBS is in full swing! It’s such an amazing week as our Children’s Ministry takes over, transforming our campus into a giant candy land. There are more than 300 kids attending VBS this year and over 150 of you volunteering and helping out! It is such a great picture of the church we are called to be – reaching our community and impacting the lives of the next generation. As the week continues, we would appreciate you keeping these kids and volunteers in your prayers. It’s going to be so fun in our services this weekend, celebrating all that God did this week!
I also want to remind you that our “Framily” Fun Night is quickly approaching. We are planning a fantastic evening for everyone. If this church errs on the side of anything, it’s that we value authentic relationships with one another, and events like this are incredible opportunities to get to know one another better! Even more so, it’s a perfect opportunity to invite someone! There are people in our lives who need and WANT to be invited, to church and to these events, and it is on us to be the ones to invite them. Who is God putting on your heart to invite to Sunday morning services or events like “Framily” Fun Night?”
Hope you all are having a wonderful week and I can’t wait to see you this Sunday as we continue our new series, Oh! The Places We’ll Go.
With summer in full swing, there is a good chance you have either gone somewhere or have plans to travel. Summer has a way of lending itself to getting out and going places. However, finding yourself in different places is not only reserved to summertime. Life has it’s way of taking us to crazy, fun and hard places. It’s comforting to know we don’t travel on our own; God is with us. This weekend, we are starting our new series, Oh! The Places We’ll Go. It’s a great reminder that no matter where we go, God is with us, whether it is the deepest depths or the highest mountains. It will be a great series, and remember, as always, be thinking of who you can be inviting. Let’s continue to be a church of “inviters.”
Sunday morning isn’t the only exciting thing that is happening this summer. VBS is kicking off next week, with the Sweet Life. There will be hundreds of kids on campus laughing, playing, learning and growing. As a matter of fact, we still need volunteers. So if you have some time off next week, we need people to lead groups for the kids. Contact Diane Jones, djones@marinerschurch.org if interested.
Our next Framily night is Sunday, July 26. After our successful “Campout” last month, we are ramping up for our next event. It will be an evening of music, games and live entertainment. Dinner will be served. Also, if you are looking for a women’s Bible Study, Women of Passion kicked off this Thursday. It is a great time to get connected with God and other women.
As you can see, a whole lot going on – so stay connected this summer!
Blessings,
Jeff
P.S. don’t forget: High School camp, going to Lost Canyon on Aug 3-7, and Junior High camp on August 17-21. You can find more info about these awesome camps below!
VBS is a week long summer camp for kids entering kindergarten through 5th grade this fall. This year the campus will be transformed as kids come and experience the SWEET LIFE! It’ll be an exciting week of games, drama, crafts, Bible stories, fun surprises and live music. Register online.
July 13-17, 5:30-8:30p, $60, Ocean Hills Campus
I think we can all agree that summer weather is here! As a church we have had so much fun already. From DadFest to our first annual Framily camp out, it has been so fun to connect as a community. This is a great week to invite your friends because as our series wraps up, we will look at the importance of Scripture in listening to God. We all know people that wrestle with listening to God’s voice, so this is an ideal week to bring them.
We are so excited for the rest of our upcoming summer events. If you have not done so already, make sure to sign your kids up for VBS. They will be bummed if they miss it. We are still looking for a few more adult leaders. Please let Diane know if you are interested in helping out. It is our goal to have this church be a place where families are welcomed and engaged as they make courageous decisions to follow Jesus.
Hope you all have a great time celebrating this 4th of July and we will see you Sunday!
Jeff
