H48 stands for: H = HONOR. 4:8 is the passage out of Revelation "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty, who was and is, and is to come."
H48 is a night of worshiping God through prayer, Scripture, and song. Our heart for this event is simply to come together and worship Jesus. So join us for this gathering of friends, old-school students, new-school students, parents, and anyone at all to come out to worship together from 7:00pm 9pm-ish (or longer...who knows) in the Refinery at Saddleback Church's Lake Forest campus.
The leaders coming to this worship night are friends who have loved leading worship with our student ministries, including Keeley Reed, Dominik Michalzik, Allison Hibbard, Zack and Stephanie Barker, Jared Rich, and Taffy Tafalla.
We would love for you to invite anyone who wants to come and worship God through song.

Few things, if any, get out attention like sex. It’s as if we instinctively know than when sex is involved, something sacred is in play. The Bible makes it clear that sex is so magnetic, not simply because of its heart-pounding, soul-unifying properties, BUT BECAUSE it foreshadows the glorious unification of Jesus and his beloved people. Sex is not an end in itself; it is a type of something higher, pointing to the deeper reality of the gospel. Just as the sacrifice of the Passover Lamb in the Old Testament foreshadowed Christ’s atoning sacrifice in the New, so too the physical oneness established through sex foreshadows the spiritual oneness that will exist (and which already exists) between Christ and his church at the wedding supper of the Lamb. Join us THIS THURSDAY in the Refinery at 7:15pm as we explore the glorious mystery and beauty of our sexuality and it’s undeniable connection to Jesus and his Church.
We'll end our "Facebook Official" series NEXT WEEK with a Q&A. Please submit any questions you have about sexuality, relationships, sex, dating, singleness, marriage, etc. here. It's completely anonymous! https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YYYNW5K

Facebook Official—Trusting God When You Change Your Status
Let’s face it: no one has to teach us how to mess up a relationship. When things turn romantic, we so easily lose our direction. Before we know it we can find ourselves in a painful train wreck we should have seen coming. I wish we could blame this all on dating. But dating isn’t the problem. It’s us! Our selfishness, lack of self-awareness, and inability to communicate are just a few of the many things that can sabotage a relationship, even one started with the very best of intentions. I wonder how things would be different if we learned to trust God with this area of our lives instead of ourselves. Join us every Thursday night in the month of March as we explore this question together.

Saddleback CM is heading to Berlin, Germany this summer! We will depart for Berlin on July 20th and return on August 4th. We'll be working with Pastor Dave from Saddleback Berlin to focus on HIV/AIDS awareness and training, university student outreach, and building up college small groups.
Saddleback's PEACE Plan believes that there are five worldwide global giants, including spiritual emptiness, lack of servant leadership, poverty, disease, and lack of education. To combat these major world issues, our heart is to mobilize the local church to promote reconciliation, equip servant leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation. The church is the hope of the world, and the only way to address these issues!
If you'd like more information on this trip, please e-mail NicoleL@saddleback.com. Auf Wiedersehen!
