First, do not be alarmed...no one at Saddleback Church has access to email. We have been without email access since yesterday (Tuesday 4/27/10) @ 11:00 am. So, we are not ignoring you, just have not received nor can send emails yet.
Second, this is a reminder of just how "dependent" we have become on email as a means of communication. Phone calls, snail mail and in-person connections are few-and-far between in this technological era. We'd love to re-open that door to deeper connection. If you need anything at all as it relates to Kids Small Groups, do not hesitate to call the following:

Isn't this INCREDIBLE? The ultimate picture is truly beautiful - a reminder of sacrifice, grace and love. Ironically, this beautiful image is made up of thousands of beautiful yet broken people. Nonetheless, we make up the Body of Christ and it is a truly beautiful thing. Can you find your photo? Some of your friends or family?
Pastor Rick reminded us at Easter services this weekend that it is never too late for a miracle. Kids Small Groups proved this...
* We dreamed up a HUGE number - 500 care packages for 4 senior centers in Orange County.
* When the decision was communicated, there was definitely mighty prayers lifted up. That audacious goal left each group with a mighty labor of love ahead of them.
* At 7:30 pm on Wednesday 3/31/10 we literally had 499 packages accounted for. Then, our sweet coach Mary Bradsher gifted her specially made care package to her fellow coach Russ Chase. To top it off, one group put the final touches on their care package at check-out; which means...
501 care packages were made with love by Kids Small Groups.
We look forward to hearing the stories and seeing the pictures as each Kids Small Group moves forward planning individual visits to their respective senior center. KSG, way to show the community that you CARE and miracles can/do occur!
