A Note From Kyle Zimmerman
I was in Kenya for the weekend…
No, seriously. Holiday and I left last Wednesday and returned Monday. Our church partner, Mavuno, was having a grand opening celebration for the new land and facility God has blessed them with, so we went to surprise them and represent you. It was such a gift as the “power of presence” is everything in Kenyan culture. Pastor Muriithi, the staff, and the people of Mavuno felt so honored and loved by our church. And we were able to personally distribute “Be Fearless” funds to the ministries of Mavuno, loving and caring for those in and around Nairobi!
#CatalystWest I love how God is using our campus to bless over 3500 young leaders this week as we host CatalystWest. It’s amazing to see how the generosity of our church over the years is able to bless and empower the Kingdom in this way, at this time. It’s just another example of how God leverages every sacrifice and every dollar into building His People to bring the Good News into every corner of the world.
This weekend, we’re continuing our “How to Start a Revolution” series, examining the revolution of love and transformation initiated by Jesus. I believe your life and your relationships are being changed as you become more of who you were created to be, and I know there are many in your life who are desperate to find hope and healing. I’m praying that God will reveal someone around you to invite to church with you this weekend, and you’d have the willingness to walk into the conversation confidently and boldly, knowing that God is already at work. Let’s give the gift of freedom to those around us…let’s help them see Jesus.
Peace…

Revolution Series
Revolution. It’s an unexpected, upside down shift that changes everything. But if you think it’s about power, politics, or the next big idea you’re going to miss it. Don’t miss it. It’s a revolution you never knew you always wanted… and it’s waiting for you.
During our weekend services.

Mission Viejo Campus
Huntington Beach Campus
Ocean Hills Campus
A Note From Jeff Maguire
Last Sunday, we began our BE FEARLESS journey. We asked, “What does radical generosity (without strings attached) look like?”
Here’s what we saw: Mariners Church Mission Viejo is committed to the poor and marginalized. We raised money to help fund the efforts of great local organizations that are doing an outstanding job among the poor. Mariners people are committed to serving. Because we’re a community of people unwilling to see life pass us by as merely spectators, many of us signed up to serve, making people a priority in our lives.
Last night I participated in a serve-opportunity called “Soccer and Snacks” in Santa Ana at the Lighthouse community center. Apart from feeling my age and my rapidly diminishing soccer skills, I got a glimpse of the good that people can do when they invest their time. There were a number of committed volunteers who knew kids and families by name. There was a feel of genuine neighborliness in the midst of a community known more for its high crime rate than anything else. Serving together is one of the great joys we get to be a part of as a church community.
Below, are a number of opportunities in which the Mariners MV staff has committed to serve:
Jordan Maslyn: Father Serra Food Pantry, March 29th (9am)
Kim Alexander: Vintage Senior Center, April 6th (3pm)
Hilary McCullough: Families Forward, May 3rd (11am)
Jeff Maguire: Soccer and Snacks, March 20th (4pm)
Catherine Bair: Uganda Child Sponsorship Celebration, May 18th (12:45pm)
Mike Kenyon: Vintage Senior Center, April 10th (6pm)
Bailey May: Safe Families, April 13th (12:45pm)
Ethan Hulse: Chili Van, April 8th (4:15pm)
Serve with us. Go here to find your serve opportunity. Be Fearless.
See you Sunday,
Jeff
A Note From Jeff Pries
What a great weekend it was as so many of you took part in our Be Fearless campaign. As a church it was so fun to see lines of people as they stepped forward to be generous to our community. Please join us this weekend as we celebrate your generosity to the various organizations in our neighborhood that are making a difference.
Also, if you have the desire or know of someone who is interested in be baptized, this is the week for you. We will be talking about baptism this weekend – Is it really necessary? Does it matter if I’ve been baptized or not? Then, we will tell you what you need to do to be baptized in two weeks.
There is a lot going on, and it’s fun doing ministry with you, seeing all of the amazing things God is doing at Mariners Ocean Hills. You have “been fearless,” way to go!

A Note From Jeff Pries
Well, we finished up our Heroes series in a wonderful way. What a great weekend as we watched people respond to God’s call and heroically stand to follow Christ. This Sunday, we will have a great opportunity to be “fearless” in the form of generosity. We will discover how we are blessed in so many ways, and how God has called us to “do good” with all we have been given.
It’s an exciting weekend for our church as we bless those both locally and globally who are in need.
