As a church family, there are many ways we strive to be the hands and feet of Jesus and to bless our community during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. There are lots of ways you can help – data entry, patio & event support, and more! For more info please contact Monica.
Deliver food or join us for an afternoon of giving thanks at our annual Thanksgiving Feast at The Walk! This year, we need volunteers to help by providing your favorite holiday dish (turkey, potatoes, stuffing, etc.) to create a family-style Thanksgiving and an environment of thankfulness for our foster teens. For questions contact lstrauss@marinerschurch.org. You must be at least 21 years old in order to volunteer at this event. Register here.

Where has Jesus been leading you this week? Have you been allowing Him to take you through your “Samaria,” reaching those who are the most difficult for you to love, to engage with the heart of Jesus? I love this series, Love Where You Live. I love the passion it’s igniting in us as a church for our friends and neighbors. I love seeing the expressions of joy and relationship through freshly-baked cookies, helping kids with homework, taking walks together, throwing parties in our streets. I love that we’re going get to express our love and care for our neighborhoods and communities in a profound way together tomorrow night as everyone emerges from their homes and pours out onto our streets. Let’s be people who are known for our smiles, our generosity and for our love.
This weekend is going to be a spectacular conclusion to our series and you are definitely going to want to invite someone. We will put the church and gospel on display in the most profound, yet simple way. We’re going to look at the truth and what the church should represent in the world. I can’t wait to live this out with you guys. Looking forward to seeing you, your friends and family this weekend.
Peace,
Kyle
What a great weekend we had last Sunday. I am finally getting over my loss in the chili cook-off, but putting that aside, it was an incredible Harvest Carnival Sunday. Thank you so much to all of the amazing volunteers – God is using you in amazing ways to make the church thrive! As I sat there and watched all the kids playing, and the adults talking (and eating) it just struck me that “this is so much of what church is all about.” We have another great Sunday planned for this weekend. Yes, church is about community, but it is also about reaching out to the poor, the needy, and the marginalized. Last weekend was a great opportunity to invite a friend, because it was so fun. This weekend is another great weekend to invite someone to because they will get to see the Church at work, making a difference in the lives of those in need. It will be a great time to celebrate how God has used all of you at Mariners Ocean Hills this past year and we will be challenged to continue making a difference in the lives of the poor and needy in our community and around the world. We all have the desire for life change. Come this weekend, learn what is means to be “neighborly” and you will find that it will change not only the lives of others but your life as well.
Blessings,
Jeff
