It's hard to believe we are about to have our last Launch Team meeting!!! But we are, this Sunday at 5pm at Hillside. This is a pretty important one as we go over last minute lose ends, do some final ministry role placement, go over our connection strategy, and most importantly pray our guts out. Provided we have all of our equipment in place we will be having our first "preview service" at Empire Park Lane Cinemas on Sunday, Oct 21. This is a chance for us to get into the space, find our way around, and figure out how to use it best. We are not trying to have a big turn out (read don't invite people) that week we just want to get settled in.

A Note from Bryan: Round II

Thanks everyone for your warm reception to the vision and direction of the compassionate ministries of Deep Water. I'm excited to get the team going and get everyone involved. Here are some questions I'd like to get your input on to ensure that the projects we get involved with are both areas that we're passionate about and areas that we can minister strategically. Please take a few moments and give these some thought. Please email your responses to Bryan.

  1. What compassionate ministries are you passionate about?
  2. What compassionate ministries do you think Deep Water would be uniquely suited to do?
  3. What types of compassionate ministry activities do you think your one degree will be most interested in participating

A reminder to ministry leaders who have teams to recruit:

Our first worship gathering is 10 days away and you need to have your team in place. No pressure though…

Venue Visit

Myself and a couple ministry leaders (Kelly with Kids and Dan O. with connection) are arranging a quick visit to Empire Park Lane Cinemas tomorrow (Thursday) at 5:50 to look over the venue and figure out where to put stuff, etc. If you want to come along let me know and I'll keep you in the loop if the time changes or anything.

Pray

Areas to be praying over:

  • or God to provide us with a worship leader
  • For God to supply the funds for our start up costs (sound system, nursery stuff, etc)
  • That God would give us boldness as we invite those in our "One Degree" to Deep Water's Launch on November 4
  • For God's continued wisdom and creativity for our ministry leaders as they begin to build their teams in the coming weeks and for all of us to have wisdom and a sense of the Spirits leading about where we serve

And now you're in the loop.
