Life is moving faster than ever. Somehow it’s December again. Another year gone in a blink. We raced through our to-dos, calendars, deadlines, and endless notifications…and still feel behind. In a world that never slows down, it’s easy to miss the moments that matter most. But Christmas tells a different story. A story where God steps into our world quietly… slowly… personally. A story that invites us to stop running and simply be.

This Christmas Eve, we want to help you breathe again. To rediscover wonder. To remember what your soul has been missing. To be fully present with God, with the people you love, with the moment right in front of you.

Join us December 24th at 3:30pm or 5pm for a beautiful, unhurried Christmas Eve experience that helps you slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the wonder of Jesus.

Bring your family, your friends, your questions, your doubts—or just bring yourself.

Let’s make space for what matters most.

Many of us are spending time this weekend around a table with holiday food and people we love (or at least tolerate). There’s another table that we have an invitation to. This table is wide enough for everyone, and you have a personal invitation to come. This Sunday, come to the table that Jesus is inviting you to: His table, where His love and forgiveness abound, and you are welcomed and wanted.

THIS SUNDAY

Awakening Church is hosting our annual winter coat drive! Please join us in partnership with City Team ministries by blessing someone in our community with a NEW or GENTLY USED winter coat or jacket. Starting THIS Sunday, November 30th – December 14th, bring your items to church on Sunday and drop them off in the bins outside of the doors. You can also click on the Amazon link below and have them delivered! Thank you for partnering with us and CityTeam to care for our unhoused neighbors!

‘Tis The Season…!

We believe Del Mar High School isn’t just a place to meet on Sundays, but a community to serve and love.

Awakening has a yearly giving fund to help resource Del Mar High School students and their families experiencing significant needs throughout the school year.  Alongside school administration, the local outreach team provides resources with great intention and care that alleviate short-term crises. This year our goal is $35,000, which will continue to allow us to serve our Del Mar High School family, and to do so in the name of Jesus.

Last year’s impact from your giving…

• Over 24 vulnerable families served
• Financial assistance for families struggling with food insecurity and housing crisis
• Day care assistance for teen mom seeking diploma
• Replacement of stolen bike for student needing daily transportation to school
• Housing assistance for refugee families
• Job assistance for students to help pay for long-term family needs
• Crisis care following apartment complex fire

Donations may be made by selecting the “Del Mar Giving Fund,” with up to $35,000 dedicated to the Del Mar Giving Fund.  All donations outside of this period or in excess of $35,000 during this time period are allocated to the Unrestricted General Fund and will be used as approved by the Leadership Council.
