I’m off to the Men’s Retreat! But, I’ll be back to teach on Sunday (8:30, 10, 11:30a, 6p) and I’m excited about this particular Sunday. Don’t miss it!

Food for thought:

Scripture says that “God is love.” Jesus said that He is the physical embodiment of God. Meaning, Jesus embodied love. But to further explore the definition of love, here’s what love looks like:

• joy
• peace
• patience
• kindness
• goodness
• faithfulness
• gentleness
• self-control

When you see these characteristics in your own life or in others, you’re seeing LOVE working its way out in living color. But, more on that later!

See you soon!

Caleb

There are not many things in life on which everyone can agree. What came first, the chicken or the egg? What’s better, ice cream or frozen yogurt? Who would you rather see in concert, Telletubbies or The Wiggles?

However, our church partnering with an overcrowded, underprivileged public elementary school to bring much needed improvements for students to have the greatest opportunity to succeed is something on which we can all agree. Over the past four years, ServeDay has taken our entire church into the community to live out the journey that God has set before us.

ServeDay 2017 at Gates Elementary is our chance to be part of a movement to help unite our community, and because of God’s favor, this year our church has an amazing opportunity to put God on display. For the first time ever, the Orange County public school district has trusted us to hold an outdoor church service at Gates Elementary, where we get to invite the community to worship with us. The opportunity to hear the teaching from the Bible, and then immediately live it out together by serving is a beautiful picture of the church in action.

Join us for one church service at 10a at Gates Elementary and for our renovation project, where we will paint, build, garden, and work to beautify this city.

I would love to see you and your family there as we step out in boldness to serve the community together.

What a great weekend! It was so encouraging to have the Marines from Camp Pendleton pray through our Memorial Day moment. It is wonderful to give thanks to those who gave their lives and hear the heart of those who serve. On a busy weekend, with so much going on, many of you still made it to church–way to go!

We have a great Outreach Weekend to celebrate! We had our greatest response ever, with volunteers in all of the serve opportunities. You all have a desire to be difference makers and you jumped in–making a difference in a big way. We are so excited to see all that God is going to do through your service. Also, we took in our biggest Outreach offering ever, with just over $22,000 being given towards the local and global ministries. You are always so generous, thanks for stepping out and giving so greatly.

Don’t forget! Summer Camp Out is our first Summer Calendar event. If you ever wanted to take your kids camping, but hated the idea of traveling hours away or had no desire to go anywhere without a bathroom and running water–you can join us for Summer Camp Out. We’ll have barbecue,  fire pits, movies, games, and coffee and donuts in the morning. And you only have to drive to church. Night-time will be a blast and great for the kids. Don’t want to sleep over? Don’t worry! Just sneak away when no one is looking. It’s a fun time, you won’t want to miss it.

Blessings to you,

Jeff
