We continue to see new faces every week and it's been fun getting to know these new friends and see some of them choosing to plug in and become a part of what we are doing. This week is week 4 of our Plastic Jesus series and we will be talking about "I'm Ok You're Ok Jesus" and it will be another great week to invite a friend to come. This week's message will include a clear explanation of the fundamentals of the gospel and the awesome message of love and hope that only Jesus brings. Why not go ahead and ask that friend you have been praying for if they want to come with you this week.

We love having a program for our children that focuses on them and where they hear the gospel on their level, play fun games and make cool crafts but we also think it's important for kids to experience worship with the rest of church and to see adults, especially their parents, praising God and responding to Him. So with that in mind we are excited to announce that on the last Sunday of each month there will be no Upstream (our ministry for kids age 4 and up) and that the children will be joining the adults for worship. If you are a parent this is a great opportunity for you to worship as a family and if you don't have kids this is a great chance for you to let the children of Deep Water know that they are welcome and valued. No matter who you are take the opportunity to tell a child (other than your own) that you are really glad they are there. Nursery for age 3 and down will be offered as usual.

Here are a few items you can be praying about over the next week as the Holy Spirit brings it to you mind.

1. Please pray that we would continue to see new folks come on Sundays, especially those who don’t know Him and ask God to give us the opportunities and boldness to share Him whether that means giving someone a full explanation of the Gospel to someone or simply inviting them to come to a worship gathering with you.
2. Please pray that God would continue to give me and leadership team wisdom to know the most important next steps for Deep Water in our growth and development.
3. Thank God for His hand of blessing and protection on Deep Water and for the good things He is doing in and through us.romotional materials ready for Beulah. Enjoy your weekend and let me know how your friends answer the question above. And now you are in the loop.

And now you're in the loop.
