A Note From Jeff Pries
I hope you are enjoying our Heroes series where we are all learning that life can have its challenges, and we can either cower and shrink or stand up and be heroic.
There’s still time to sign up for our winter session of Rooted. It’s a unique and powerful experience I know you won’t want to miss. You can visit the patio this weekend to sign up or go online. So many of you have shared how Mariners Ocean Hills is such a great place and has become your church home. If that’s you and you’re looking for a way to find connection and become more involved at Ocean Hills, Rooted is a great way to do just that. Jump into community with a group of people for 10 weeks, and allow God to draw you into closer relationship with Him and with others.
And one final note this week, our junior high students are away at winter camp, please lift them up in prayer. Pray that God will keep them safe and bless them with a growing relationship.
Blessings,
Jeff

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.

Heroes: Our New Weekend Message Series
We are a society that is enamored with heroes and deep down we all want to be heroic. For every one of us, we hope that when the moment comes to step up into the gap, we have what it takes to be heroic. Not only are heroes all around us, but the Bible is full of heroic people. Join us for our new weekend message series as we look at what it takes to be a hero.

Daily Message, Reflection Week 3
As we have been reading Genesis, we see stories of God initiating interaction with His creation, and even His patience with them as they disobey, rebel, and run from Him. God ultimately cannot have His creation ruled by sin, it would destroy itself. Therefore, He acts out of love in attempts to rescue and restore. Continue reading Annual Read: Reflection, Week 3

A Note From Jeff Pries
From all of us at Ocean Hills, we hope that this past year has been a blessing for all of you, and we pray that you will have a sense of God’s leading in your life this year. As a church it has been quite a year, and we are excited for all that God has in store in this next season. This past weekend we started our new series called Heroes. In life, we all look for heroes and at the same time, we have a desire in one way or another to be heroic. The Bible is full of heroes, some are obvious, some are incredibly unlikely. Either way, we have a lot to learn from the many courageous men and women in the Bible. This series will inspire us to live in new and courageous ways. I can’t wait to experience this with you!
And, don’t forget to pick up the Daily Message, our 2014 annual read. What a great commitment to make in the new year!
Blessings,
Jeff
A Note From Jeff Pries
We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas. It was especially fun being with all of you who joined us for Christmas Eve services – it really is one of my favorite services of the year. There is a small part of me that gets a little sad because it’s now time to start taking down all of the marks of Christmas – the trees and the ornaments. But of course, we hold onto the fact that the gift of Christmas, Jesus, is with us always. Christmastime is a lot about family. I love that we are family and can celebrate together.
Blessings,
Jeff
