Clowns Entertaining Goats 🤡🐐

It's the Lord's day. I got my Bible. I'm ready to hear the word.

Well, hi Bo Peep.

Welcome to Saddleback’s At the Movies Weekend

Good to see you. Are you at church?

Yes, we are. Welcome to Saddleback, everybody. As you guys are being seated, tell your partner beside you. Do you do you vote for Team Woody or Team Buzz? And I better hear a lot of Team Woody out there.

Go ahead and grab a seat, y 'all. Well, I want to thank the creative team that convinced me to dress like Woody. And they definitely won't be getting a raise.

I must say, Andy's been a very good sport about this because it was not his idea that he he's been a good sport. So, yes, we are so thankful that you're here. And if you're wondering what in the world is happening right now and what have I stepped into, maybe you're a first time guest with us.

We want to say welcome. And you have shown up for a very special weekend here at Saddleback Church. We are in the middle of a series this summer, a four part series called At the Movies. And this weekend, we're going to be looking a little bit deeper at the story of Toy Story.

And so that is why you get to see Andy and I dressed up like Woody and Bo Peep. Yes. So if you are, if you do happen to be a first time guest with us, it is such an honor to have you with us. And we want to honor you during this series.

We're doing something very special for our first time guests, which is we want to give you a free movie ticket as our way of saying thanks for coming. And so the way that you can get that is if you will check in with us on your connection card.

You can do that digitally by scanning the QR code, or you can do that with a connection card in your program that you got when you came in. And so just let us know that you're here with us, that it's your first time here with us.

Now, if it's not your first time with us, don't be making up things about your dog has an email address and your dog needs a movie ticket. We see you. No, but we just want to honor you for coming this weekend.

And thank you for being here. So make sure you check in with us through the app or through the digital connection card or the one in your hand.

Discover Your Purpose and the Church as God’s Family

Yeah. The other thing that is really cool that's coming up, I feel a little bit funny saying anything serious dressed like this, but the other thing that's coming up every month, we do something called Discover Your Purpose.

And Discover Your Purpose is a journey that's intentionally designed to help each of us take our next step. And the first step that we talk about in that Discover Your Purpose journey is the step to be a part of a family, the church.

And God's family is the church. And we want you to be a part. If you're not a part of Saddleback yet, we want to invite you to come to Discover Your Purpose and hear more about the tools that we have to help you in your journey spiritually.

And that's coming up. You can actually sign up through your connection card. You can also sign up through your digital connection card on the digital program. At that, we have babysitting. So this is a great opportunity to go on a free date.

Yeah. You get food when you come. Yes. I mean, why wouldn't you want to come?

Toy Story Themes in the Message

Yeah. Sign up for that. Now, today, the message is going to be all about the themes of Toy Story.
