Join Johnny and Beachcomber Burt as they search for the hidden Treasure God has placed in each one of us. This series focuses on the beginning of the church, the importance of being plugged in and CONNECTED to the body. The life of Paul shows us how to ACCEPT and TREASURE others, face CHALLENGES when times get tough, and HONOR others as Jesus did. Grab your swim trunks and dive into the depths of God's word and discover how God has designed us to be a light to the world.

Club News:  All clubs are meeting as scheduled.
 
serving our world

Kid'sQuest and
Breakout have joined our church in the 2020 Vision!: Each club has previously had missions ventures of their own.  But we feel our 2020 Vision is so much a part of who and what Mariners is doing for the next 10 years that even our clubs have joined in.  Surf's Up is sponsoring 6 children that are part of our El Salvador partnership.  We are collecting coins and offerings, preparing gifts, and going to serve upon graduating from 5th grade.

Surf's Up children are involved in other service projects as well!  In addition to the 2020 Vision emphasis, our children have and do serve in local ways by creating gifts for seniors, visiting rest homes, and more.  We are also active in the Operation Christmas Child project which sends shoeboxes filled with gifts to children around the world.

want to join the Surf's Up team?
There are many areas that you could serve in with the children of our church and community.  Some immediate openings are for K-5 small group leader at the 9 or 10:30 service, Surf's Up greeter for both services, nursery team member.  Contact Len if you are interested in these or any other opportunities to serve with children!

Check out the Surf's Up website!

Upcoming Events

Attention Parents and Youth:

Salt and Fire is this Saturday night at 7:30!  Bring you and your friends for a fun and spiritually challenging evening.  It's time to start coming "just because" and not ask what is happening.  Just know it will be fun, a good place to grow in your faith, and a great place to bring your friends.

This Saturday at Salt&Fire we will have a special movie night.  The movie lasts a bit longer than our normal 9pm time so please pick up around 9:45-10.  Bring $3 for pizza dinner!

What's the movie you ask?  Come and find out.  ;)  You will like it, but if not, the night is about being with friends - loving God and loving each other.  So come to church at 6 and then head upstairs at 7:30.

Growth Group News:  Groups meet on Wed night at various locations.  Call the church for specifics.
 
Interested in going to El Salvador? 
Then let Len know.  There will be a cost involved, but we will do our best to help with fundraising and support requests to cover most of your out-of-pocket expenses.  Set aside June 19-29 and get your passport right away if you have interest.
