Body of Christ Mosaic

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:00:00 GMT

1 Corinthians 12:27 "Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it." Our church would not be a church without YOU, the body. For our Easter celebration, we're making a giant mosaic of Jesus, made up of the photos of every Saddleback member. So, we need your photo as soon as possible! Please understand that your photo will be dropped in a square. So if it isn't easily cropped in a square format, it will cut off some of your image. Also, make sure that your image is high enough resolution, so it will look good when printed. We'll unveil this special mosaic at Angel Stadium on April 4. You're a part of the Saddleback story, so don't miss out on this! Upload Your Photo Here: http://www.saddleback.com/mosaic

40 Days of Prayer Launches Tuesday, February 23!

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 16:00:00 GMT

It's time to get away and let God revive your heart! You're encouraged to spend as much time as you want in the House of Prayer leading up to Easter Sunday April 4. The plan is to keep it going 24 hours a day for all 40 days. The Pre-Launch Celebration is coming up on Monday, February 22, at 7:00pm in the Green Room behind�Saddleback's Main Worship Center. You'll hear more about the vision for the House of Prayer, enjoy a time of worship and have a chance to tour the newly designed House of Prayer as we dedicate it to God. Join us and bring a friend! This will also be your last chance to sign up for the 40 days. What will we do in the House of Prayer? You might feel led to play worship music, or worship with your guitar or read Scripture in the resting area. You might want to kneel at the foot of the cross and talk to God or write a note of praise on the Praise Wall. You might want to just sit and soak in God's presence for the hour. It's up to you! You're free to worship however the Holy Spirit leads you. The idea is to maintain a reverent atmosphere of prayer, praise and worship for 40 days straight. If you're planning to fast with us, there are several ways to do so. You may choose to fast on Tuesdays as some have been doing or you may choose to do a partial fast for all 40 days. Fasting is something you'll want to do at the Lord's direction. It's not required. Some important things to keep in mind during the 40 days: 1. Please turn off your phone while in the House of Prayer. If you need to have a conversation with someone, we ask that you step outside. 2. If you're coming or going after dark and would like an escort to your car, you may call security at (949) 235-3147. 3. Please refrain from bringing food into the House of Prayer. Bottled water is OK. 4. You are free to bring in your own music, but we ask that you only play worship music. 5. We'd love to hear about your experience! You are encouraged to leave a message in the guest book on your way out. "These I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer.for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations."� Isaiah 56:7 Blessings, Kristine Noelle Saddleback House of Prayer Leader kristinen@saddleback.com

Baptisms @ FUEL

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:00:00 GMT

In Scripture, shortly after people said "yes" to Jesus, they were baptized and identified with a community of Christ followers. Baptism is an outward act of an inward transformation that has taken place through having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. If you or someone you know would like to be baptized, please email Pastor Chris at chrisr@saddleback.com

FUEL @ Foundations

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 16:00:00 GMT

Our survey results are flying in fast, and so far�the�number class desired from our FUEL friends is Spiritual Foundations with an overwhelming 60% response! Many of those wanted to see a class happen on Wednesday nights. So here's my speedy reply. If you are interested in attending the below class,�email me ahead of time so I�can connect you to a Host. We will�have a FUEL Table�for FUEL friends to sit together. Some are planning to grab coffee/food/dessert after the class. This is a great opportunity to grow and connect! Teachings on 11 core truths that are essential to our Christian faith and will help us develop a biblical perspective of God, the world and our relationships. Foundations has helped change the lives of thousands of people. When:�Begins Wednesday, January 27 from�6:30-8:30pm Where: The Refinery Gym Cost: $25 for the 22 part study guide or $10 class fee if you already have the study guide Schedule: The class is 24 weeks. We'll meet pretty much every week, taking a couple weeks off for Easter and in June. We will end sometime in August. My suggestion is that you join us whenever you can, even if you can't attend all of the classes. We'll be teaching this class every year, probably in three smaller blocks/sessions, so that you can make up classes that you miss. We'll also have DVDs available for you to check out to catch up on any class that�you miss. I highly recommend this solid study that Pastor Matt McGill will be teaching. Make 2010�YOUR BEST YEAR EVER�of spiritual growth and relational connection! Pastor Chris
