Switch Youth! It’s Christmas Party time! Join us for our last youth group of the year as we wrap up 2025 with all the Christmas vibes! We’re celebrating this Friday, December 5, at 7 PM at the Seo Residence in Petaluma with food, games, music, and tons of fun. Bring a friend (or two!) because the more, the merrier- and we want everyone to join in the fun. And don’t forget your $20 White Elephant gift for our legendary gift swap – you never know what you’ll end up with! Can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Brothers, we’re excited to invite you to our WORD Christmas Gathering on Saturday, December 6, from 8:30–9:45 AM at the church!  We’ll also be doing a White Elephant Gift Exchange (around $20). Let’s come ready to connect, celebrate, and encourage one another as we close the year strong. Looking forward to a meaningful and joyful time with all of you! For more information, contact Mason.

Save the date for our annual GROW Christmas Party. Join us on Saturday, December 13, from 10 AM to 12:30 PM at the Roos Residence for a morning full of fun, food, fellowship, and festive cheer! Bring a gift to exchange (around $20), a dish or drink to share (sign up on the link below), and a friend to join in the celebration. Let’s come together to make memories and celebrate the season as a GROW family! Connect with Monica or any GROW Giver team for any information.

Hey Young Adult family! We’re wrapping up the year with a cozy and super fun Christmas hangout on Sunday, December 21, at 5:30 PM at the Lee Family Home – and you’re invited! The Lees are generously opening their home and providing all the food and drinks, so just come ready to enjoy good company and bring a wrapped $15–$20 gift for our White Elephant exchange. We can’t wait to spend the time together!

We’d love for you to journey with us this December as we read through John Piper’s The Dawning of Indestructible Joy: Daily Readings for Advent. Discounted copies will be available after church for $6, just look for Monica, or you’re welcome to grab one on Amazon. Let’s walk through Advent together and let His indestructible joy fill our hearts this Christmas.

There’s still time to make a difference! From November 9th to January 4th, we’re gathering non-perishable food items to help provide for those in need. A donation barrel will be located near the offering box at church, where you can drop off your items each Sunday. For more details, please contact Doug Lee, and to see what items are accepted or not accepted, simply click HERE.

If you have any thoughts, suggestions, or questions, we’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact the Leadership Team (Rich G, Rich J, Peg and Kimmie) at leadershipteam@marinchurch.org or speak to one of the Leadership Team members, and we will address your questions and concerns during our next meeting. Your input is valuable to us!
