Hello Friends,
What a busy and fun week we have had between the two campuses with our
joint VBS! It has been amazing to see all the kids and volunteers having a blast and learning about God at the same time!
We continue our series God: Characters Welcome. This week we will hear from the story of Moses. Many of us have seen the Hollywood versions of the burning bush moment where Moses encounters God incarnate for the first time. Besides being a really cool story of a horticultural miracle, this story says a lot about the kind of God we worship. It all centers around what incarnate means and how risky and personal God is willing to get not just with Moses but with all of us. Come this week as we worship together.
Blessings,
Pastor Sarah and the Pastoral Team

Baja Payback Event for
YUGO Ministries
Saturday, August 4th from 10 am to 4 pm, Mission Viejo Campus
2012 marks the 50th anniversary of the first-time run of motorcycles from Tijuana to La Paz, Mexico, later to become the famous Baja 1000 race. Our MV campus will be crawling with displays of motorcycles, old and new. Johnny Campbell, 10 time Baja 1000 winner, will be here for photo opportunities and sharing of memories.
Yugo Ministries will be on hand sharing their ministry, stories, and needs. This is the "payback" - our own Charlie Keller, a life member of the American Motorcycle Association and manager of the Honda Riders Club for 15 years, has a passion for motorcycles and now for Yugo. Charlie attended our last mission trip to build houses for Yugo; now, he and his friends will be here. Let's rally and pay back the wonderful people of Baja by building more houses for the glory of God. (You can read about the January mission trip to Mexico here.)
