“What happens to me when I die?” “How will the world end?” “Is this world all there is?” These are massively important questions, and the Scripture offers us beautiful and encouraging answers.

At Christmas, we celebrated the first arrival of Jesus and how He came to be with us and rescue us. In the new year, we will see what God’s Word says about His second arrival in our new weekend teaching series, Start with the Ending. On His first arrival, Jesus was born to die for us. On His second arrival, He will be returning to rule and reign and make everything right and new. By understanding the ending, you can have a better beginning to your new year. 

Join us this weekend as we begin exploring what happens at the end of our lives and the end of the world. 

We’re so grateful for how God has worked through Mariners in 2021 and opened doors for us to expand our impact and serve even more people with God’s love. 

Your generosity equips us to continue pursuing the vision God has given us to advance God’s message on Earth. As we enter the final days of the year, we invite you to partner with us and invest in God’s work through Mariners. Your year-end gifts will help set the pace for 2022 and unleash us to move quickly at all the opportunities God is bringing our way. 

As it says in God’s Word: “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-8

We pray that as you give generously, your faith and joy grow and you experience God’s abundant blessing in your life. 

Christmas at Mariners is only a few days away, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you! Invite your friends and neighbors and join us at one of our Christmas services happening at all our congregations throughout Orange County as we sing and celebrate the amazing message of Christmas.

The Christmas story was prophesied by prophets and preached by apostles, and “angels long to look into these things.” Angels had a front-row seat to the Christmas events, yet they long for more. Why? Because they don’t know the joy of being rescued and redeemed. This Christmas at Mariners, we’ll see how this incredible story is even more personal and more glorious for us.

Because of your generosity we are able to launch new congregations, and every time we do we see people meet Jesus and find community, kids and teenagers discipled, marriages restored, and cities served. Watch this video to hear the location of our seventh Mariners congregation — happening in 2022!

The Annual Read is a long-standing Mariners tradition that anchors us in the unchanging truth of God’s Word while giving us encouragement for each new day. Every year we read through scripture together and the Lord does a work in our hearts. In 2022, we’ll be reading Daily in His Presence by Andrew Murray, a 365-day devotional filled with profound insights into God’s Word.

To accompany this year’s Annual Read, the pastors and ministry leaders of Mariners Church will help us reflect and apply the truth of God’s Word in our lives through the Gospel Every Day podcast. Find it on the Mariners App and on all digital platforms. We hope you’ll join us in going deeper into God’s Word and experiencing more of God’s transformational presence in your life, every day. By intentionally spending time in scripture, even just 10 minutes a day, you’ll grow in your faith and develop a deeper relationship with Jesus. 

We hope you’ll join us in going deeper into God’s Word and experiencing more of God’s transformational presence in your life, every day. Pick one up this weekend at your congregation or purchase it online from the Mariners Bookstore before the end of the year so you don’t miss a day!

In mid-October, we launched our Love OC campaign and were challenged to reach and serve the 3.2 million people across 34 cities in Orange County. Since then, we’ve raised over $350,000 to support the needs of our cities and their people. 

Because of your generosity, we’ve been able to provide relief for families affected by disasters, create intentional and fun spaces for uniquely-abled young adults in our community, serve our cities through Lighthouse Community Center events and opportunities, and share God’s love and the joy of Christmas with families impacted by incarceration and financial insecurity.

Thank you, Mariners. By giving and serving, we are obedient to the calling and command that the Lord has given to pursue the good of our cities and to pursue justice by treating people rightly. Together, we will continue to Love Orange County through the holidays and every season.

Your giving allows us to serve more and more people with God’s love. Give now to partner with us as we look ahead and plan for new opportunities to reach Orange County in 2022. 

Christmas at Mariners is only a few weeks away, and we want you to be part of the celebration! Invite your family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers, and join us at one of our Christmas services throughout Orange County to experience all the wonder and glory of the season.

The Christmas story was prophesied by prophets and preached by apostles, and “angels long to look into these things.” Angels had a front-row seat to the Christmas events, yet they long for more. Why?

Get more than a glimpse of this incredible truth this year at Christmas at Mariners.
