Jesus said “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Matthew 22:38-39, NLT) At Deep Water (and many likeminded churches), we often paraphrase this as “Love God. Love people.” As a church we’re doing Adopt-A-Family for Christmas this year as a way to love people.
You can bring joy to a child’s life simply by buying a small gift. We had a tremendous response this week, but there are still a few tags with desired gifts are available in the Fellowship Hall/Multi-Purpose Room. Please remember to bring your gift back by this Sunday, December 22. And if you can, stay after and help us wrap all the presents.
If you prefer, you can donate and we’ll make sure they get something. Simply make a donation online, by text (84321), on by the app or in person on Sunday and designated it to “Love People“.
