back in november we had this crazy idea to have an a+ volunteer dinner....on a boat....in the san diego harbor! everyone came dressed to the nines and ready to party! this whole night was all about honoring all the superb volunteers who serve every single sunday. church really wouldn't be "church" without the almost 300 volunteers that make everything happen week in and week out and this was our way of saying "thank you"!!

special thanks to our event photographer john mediana!

back in october, detonate threw a little thing called a HALLOWEEN PARTY!!! no harvest fests or trunk-or-treat for us, this was an all out halloween bash-o-rama. the theme was michael jackson's "thriller" and the place was packed with tons of kids dressed to impress! lots of candy, prizes, games, and even a surf simulator machine to test even the gnarliest of surfers.

the night was also made up of rippin' worship from the detonate worship team (including james grissom leading the charge in a full "thriller" red jumpsuit) and a fantastic message from david chiddick about God's power and the fact the we shouldn't be afraid or fearful of anything with God on our side. thanks to the detonate team and everyone that made the night possible!!!
