MEXICO ONE DAY FAITH ADVENTURE
Sat, Feb 25, 6a-8p
$40/adult and $20/student under 16 years
Passports required
Okay, I hesitate even starting this way, but it’s true… Community Nights is one of my favorite things we do! I know I say that a lot (I guess we do a lot of fun things I love), but this is one of the great parts of being involved here at Mariners Ocean Hills.
For five weeks, we get to come together in community as a congregation, enjoy a meal together, then gather in groups in the Worship Center and talk about life and God’s Word. Like we say so often, life change happens more in circles than rows, and circling up together is a great way to build relationships that lead to life change. We have so many great stories from people who have built friendships and felt more connected because of Community Nights. So please plan on joining us, give us five weeks and you will have a great experience of growth and connection. Community Nights begin next Tue, Feb 21 (dinner starts at 6p). The taco cart will be here serving tacos, so come hungry! If possible, please RSVP here.
Leading up to Easter, we’re launching a new series titled, Follow Me. This is a series that weaves through the gospels and explores what it looks like to live a life following Jesus. Religion says, change and you can join us. Jesus says, follow me and you will change. Jesus doesn’t expect you to be perfect, He just wants you to follow Him. When you do, you will be amazed at what happens next. It is going to be a great series and a perfect opportunity to invite someone to church who you believe can benefit from following Jesus.
Finally, please continue to pray for Roy’s brother Steve. Steve was struck on his bike by a car and remains in an induced coma with head injuries. He is making gradual progress but Steve, his wife Lori, and five small children need our prayers. We as a church are financially giving to the Schenkenberger family, so if you are interested, you can donate to our benevolence fund. We look forward to seeing you Sunday. I love doing life and ministry with you.

What a weekend!
Were you there? Have you heard? I was in Detroit—of all places—but I keep hearing from people how special this past Sunday was. Sometimes, our well-intended plans fall apart or disaster strikes and brings uncertainty with it. But… God is bigger. God is up to something. God is with you.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way.” Proverbs 3:5-6
I’m so grateful for our amazing staff and volunteers who serve us—and our community—every Sunday and all throughout the week. Even in the middle of challenge, when we stay together and look to God, great things happen.
I hope you’re with us this Sunday as we continue the Social Reset series. It will be another Sunday to remember!
Praying for you and your relationships today. May God bless you and give you peace.

I don’t know about you, but I have sure enjoyed our FREEDOM series. This weekend is our final week and it is a message I know I need to hear, and my bet is, you need it too. How do we handle a world that seems to feel hopeless at times? We feel stuck and don’t know where to find hope. This Sunday, we will find out that hope is not some elusive idea, hope is something we can always have, even when life seems to hit you between the eyes. There is nothing greater than hope, and Sunday you will be reminded where to find it. Not only will this weekend have a message we all need to hear, it is also going to be a fun Sunday with a band on the patio and we are serving root beer floats. The sun is supposed to be shining, so let’s celebrate.
I also have a huge prayer request for the whole church. Steve Schenkenberger (our worship leader Roy Schenkenberger’s brother), and his family have been attending this church for about a year now. Steve was riding his bike on Sunday evening when he was hit by a car. He is currently in intensive care in an induced coma. He has head trauma and is in need of our prayers. Please pray for total healing for Steve, and pray for Steve’s wife Lori and their five young children. We have been reaching out to Roy every day and visiting Steve frequently. This is a time for the church to get on their knees and pray for Steve and the family. Thank you for your love and support for them.
As always, I love doing life and ministry with you, even when life has its challenges.
Take care,
Jeff
