A Note From Caleb
President Obama was sworn in for his second term this week. I received an email today about “Social Media etiquette” brought on by the polarizing Tweet of a pastor in the northwest. He spoke very critically, questioning the integrity of the event and doubting the faith of Obama. I think the Tweet was in very poor taste. And many, many others were enraged.
Communication matters. What you say, when you say it, and how you say it can be the difference in building someone up or tearing them down. And, in most cases, there is a ripple effect to your words that you can’t anticipate.
This week we’re talking about the most dangerous muscle in the body: the tongue. You can’t have the relationships you want, or the influence you want, without learning what God says about the words you choose. I hope this message will challenge the way you think about the things you say.
Remember that we’re hosting a Life Group Connection Event on Thursday, January 31, at 7p in our HB offices. Don’t walk through this new year without meaningful, encouraging relationships. There’s no excuse. Ours is a community of CONNECTION.
See you Sunday!

side note: I want to encourage you to pick up your Bible and read at home. I’ll be teaching from the first half of James 3 (toward the end of the New Testament) this week, so that’s a good option for personal study and reflection.
And, as always, you can listen to past messages here
A Note From Kyle
Have you been avoiding the relationship killer this week? Have you been using your words to build people up and to bless and encourage, rather than to tear people down and destroy relationships? I love this series, and how it’s helping us become all of who God has called us to be as a community that extends love, kindness and generosity to one other.
Who needs a date night? Join us this Friday night as our very own Doug Fields and Jim Burns lead us through a great night of investing in one another and in relationships with each other. It’s going to fun and engaging. We’re going to get time to spend alone with each other as well as in group time, so make sure you come and hang out with us. You can get all of the details here.
Finally, this weekend, Doug will be back in our Relationology series with a message called, “Be Her Hero” asking the question Who do we want to be as men in the lives of our spouse and families? Guys- be courageous and show up! Wives- bring your spouses! It’s going to be great!
peace,
kyle

A Note From Caleb
Hope you’re enjoying a 70+ degree day in January. I have some friends here from out of town and it reminds me to be grateful for where we live.
I’m also grateful for our church–and for you! God is doing a special thing in our community. Can you feel it?
Our Rooted Groups launched this week and we had 80 people sign up. We pulling out over-flow seating homes and offices…and it’s awesome!
If you have already completed the 10-week Rooted Experience, but are not currently involved in a Life Group, we want to change that. We’re hosting a Life Group Connection Event January 31st at 7p at the Mariners HB offices (2124 Main St #260). This is a great time to get the vision of Life Groups, meet Life Group Leaders, and start new Life Groups.
Sunday we’re starting our Relationology series. This week, learn about the origin of all relationships and why everybody has daddy issues. The whole series will be both practical and challenging. Don’t miss a week.

A Note From Kyle
I love what God is doing in and through our community. This past week we launched our winter session of Rooted and it was so great to see all of you jumping in looking to discover more about who God is, who you are, and how He designed you to live a life fearlessly following Jesus! I love how Jeff Maguire launched us into our new weekend series Relationology, inviting us to consider our most important relationship–with Him–and the opportunities He gives us to interact with one another. And, I love how many of you invited your friends to join you in community at Rooted, and to our weekend experience, as we become more of who God designed us to be.
This week, Jeff will be back teaching in Relationology, talking about the #1 killer of relationships. There are people in your life that want and need to hear the truth we get to experience each week together, so be listening to the Holy Spirit as He prompts you to invite your friends and family.
peace,
kyle
Relationology
Relationships shape the way we experience the world. Through them, we encounter both joy and pain. In our RELATIONOLOGY series, we will walk through some of our most significant relationships—marriage, parenting, mentoring, friendships— and explore biblical foundations for healthy relationships.
