Mission Ventura

Why do I keep doing the things that I hate? Why do I sabotage my own attempts to change? Why does it feel like the person who hurt me still has such control over my life? Ever ask any of these questions? Well, you're not alone. ... The good news is, change IS possible. (And even better than that... it's probable.) But only if you're asking the right questions and using the right tools. Mission's upcoming 2-day Change Workshop will give you the knowledge and practical tools to experience the life change that you’ve been hoping for - and become equipped to help others through it too. Friday, June 4 from 6:30 - 9:00 PM and Saturday, June 5 from 9:00 AM -12:00 PM Register at missionventura.com/411 Michael Dye, creator of an incredible recovery program called The Genesis Process, will walk us through a Biblical and neurochemical understanding of what actually causes our self-destructive behaviors - and how to experience real and lasting change. Whether you’re battling bad habits, unable to live with real joy, imprisoned by your past, or affected by a loved one’s self-destructive behaviors, this will lead you toward freedom. Stop trying to just cope with the pain in your life and start a real healing process of change now.

THIS SUNDAY! Rusty George will be here to continue the Questions Jesus Asked series! It’s pretty fair to say that without Rusty, there may be no Mission Church here in Ventura. Rusty is a dear friend who goes way back with the founding team of Mission. It was from Rusty that Ventura, CA was even an option to plant a church and we all love him for it! Rusty serves as Lead Pastor of Real Life Church in Valencia, the host of the Leading Simple podcast and the author of several... helpful books (there are too many to list - just google it). He and his wife Lorrie have two amazing daughters and he just turned 50 so be sure to razz him about that! Rusty has a unique ability to connect with all kinds of people when he teaches using stories, humor and a full dose of grace + truth. Whatever your plans are this Memorial Day weekend, make sure to include Mission! You won’t want to miss it!

Child Dedications this Sunday! Child Dedications happen during service times and are an opportunity for families to commit to teaching and showing their kiddo who God is, and it’s a chance for Mission to commit to supporting those families along the way! Child Dedications will be part of all in-person Sunday service times on Mother’s Day, May 9th at Mission! *Also, take note that while we love your older children and would love to pray for them, Child Dedications are geared... toward younger children. If your child is in kindergarten or older, we'd encourage them to instead pursue their own step towards God instead of Child Dedication. DM us if you have questions! Can't wait to celebrate with families on Sunday! #hopeforeveryone #family #familygoals #sunday #mothersday #parenting #momlife #dadlife #ventura #california #venturacounty #church #community #hope #help #childdedications

BABY ITEMS! For the month of May, we are partnering with James Storehouse to throw a giant baby shower for new moms in foster care! Very often, girls who are pregnant while in the foster care system desire to parent their babies but lack access to basic items to care for their child. We have this amazing opportunity to come alongside these young girls, and sometimes their boyfriends, to encourage and support them as they become parents! This starts with baby showers where ...we provide all of the items they would need for their new baby. Let’s show them some love! Items needed: bouncy seats, clothes, bottles, gift cards, cribs, diapers, wipes, blankets, diaper bags Order + send an item directly from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/21R58EICDSYOR Or grab something while you’re out shopping this month and drop it off at Mission on Sunday! #help #hope #itemofthemonth #fostercare #babyshower #baby #newmoms #dogood #donate #ventura #california #venturacounty #hopeforeveryone
