MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The time is upon us. The tree is lit. The presents are (almost) under the tree. #12DaysofDifferent has gone viral… And the preparations have been made for our church’s most exciting Christmas ever!

Join us on Sunday for our normal three services. They’ll feel different–special–and you’ll be glad you came. And then….. CHRISTMAS EVE….. 1, 3, 5, 7pm. Come to one service, serve at another (click here for info). Or come/serve at all of them! I’ll be there These memorable Christmas Eve services will help frame the rest of the holiday for you and your loved ones.

You can also join us on Saturday as we distribute food, gifts, and love to the Oak View Community. More info here.

There are two ways to approach this week: inwardly – or outward – committed to others. Join us! Life is better this way.

A Note From Jeff Maguire

People love to be invited. Your friends and neighbors who know you have a church home at Christmas Eve want to be included in it. In fact, they’ll wonder why you didn’t think to include them. Christmas is one of the rare times in the world where people make a gap in their schedule to consider Jesus. Remember that the miracle of Christmas isn’t that there were angels, or stars, or kings, or dangerous journeys, or donkeys, or Myrrh (whatever that is).

The miracle of Christmas is that God, the One who authored the creation of the universe, comes to walk among us — not the privileged few with unblemished pasts and perfect families. But, us, real us: the people struggling to cobble together a life of joy and hope amid real pain and real need. Who is it that you could include in the experience of Christmas this season at Mariners MV? Merry Christmas.

See you on Sunday,
Jeff
