If you have kids, it&#8217;s a fun evening at <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/s91mzUr24C6839Pe8">Wyoming Park</a> (a few blocks away from our building). Come out and bring a friend!</p>
<p>If you want to help with face painting and balloon animals, we will teach you how and give you some time to practice on <strong>Sunday, August 10 </strong>after our 10:00 am worship gathering. If you can&#8217;t make it to the practice and want to help, we will gladly teach you a few popular yet simple balloon items that can be learned easily–and we have some more complex things for those who want to learn..</p>
<p><a href="/contact">Contact</a> us or let us know on Sunday if you can help.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p><strong>Peach Festival</strong><br />
The <strong>Wyoming Peach Festiva</strong>l is on <strong>Saturday, August 2 </strong>– right outside our front doors! Since we&#8217;ll be right outside our building, it is a great opportunity to meet people and invite them to join us on Sundays. And it&#8217;s also a great opportunity to bring a friend to check us out in a relaxed, informal way. We developed some peach-themed carnival games for folks as they come by the building during the festival. We will need help hosting the games as we engage members of the community.</p>
<p><strong>T-Shirts</strong><br />
While the official Deep Water Church T-shirt is not required to help with events, it is a cool way to show you&#8217;re connected with our faith community as you volunteer at events and on Sundays. And, if you are friendly and like meeting people, it&#8217;s a cool thing to wear while out in public interacting with people. Wear it to the gym or around town to let people know who we are&#8230;if you&#8217;re cranky, dislike people and tip poorly, we recommend NOT wearing this t-shirt! We&#8217;re moving to an online source for shirts so they can be ordered at any time. Just go <a href="https://thechurch.shop/shop/deep-water-church-de/">here</a>!</p>
<p><strong>Men&#8217;s Conference</strong><br />
Some of the men are planning a one day trip to a Men&#8217;s Conference in Maryland on <strong>October 18</strong>. We will carpool. Save the date if you&#8217;re interested.</p>

<p><strong>SUNRISE CELEBRATION ON EASTER MORNING</strong><br />
<strong>Sunday, April 20 at 6:00 am. We will start to gather at 6:00 and have a brief message as the sun rises at 6:17 am.</strong><br />
<strong>Location: Port Mahon  </strong>(<a href="https://goo.gl/maps/YtGwUBJSj8yJnP2MA">1097 Port Mahon Rd., Dover, DE 19901</a> – by the Delaware Bay out on Port Mahon Road)<br />
Early on Sunday morning, people were surprised at the empty tomb of Jesus. Join us early in the morning for a very informal worship gathering as we celebrate the big plot turn in the story of Jesus–spoiler alert: He is Risen! <strong>Note:</strong> The address is approximate–keep driving until you see some of us gathering near the first pier. Come early and enjoy this beautiful part of Delaware!</p>
<p><strong>EASTER SUNDAY CELEBRATION</strong><br />
<strong>Sunday, April 20 at 10:00 am</strong><br />
<strong>Location: Deep Water Church </strong>(<a href="https://goo.gl/maps/AmcnAJ3YHWJjQu7k8">107 E. Broad St., Wyoming, DE 19934</a>)<br />
Join us (and invite a friend!) as we celebrate Easter–the biggest holiday and celebration of the Christian Church. Join us as we celebrate hope, peace, and a new start in life!</p>

<p>We currently have people who need Depends undergarments and other such items. Many of us may have these items after an illness or when loved ones pass. If you want to give them some new use, bring them to us and we&#8217;ll pass them along. So, if you have any, please let me know or bring them on Sunday.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>We will hold our Annual Business Meeting after the <strong>10:00 am</strong> worship gathering this Sunday (<strong>March 2</strong>). Members and non-members are welcome to attend; but only members can vote on any business.</p>
<p><strong>What makes some people members and some not members?</strong> We value everyone&#8217;s contributions to the community here at Deep Water and treat everyone with love and respect whether they are a member or not. We offer a membership opportunity for those who want to solidify their commitment and make decisions on the direction of Deep Water –– in other words, to vote on legal matters. It involves a few videos and sitting down with us to explain the commitment. All members must be approved by the current board.</p>
<p>If you are not sure whether or not you are a member or want more membership information, please <a href="/contact">contact</a> us.</p>

Invite them to Trunk-or-Treat with you in Wyoming or ask them to help you decorate your trunk. They&#8217;ll find out we&#8217;re not as scary as they might think! And maybe they will join you next time you invite them!</p>
<p><strong>Want to contribute but can&#8217;t come?</strong><br />
We need candy! If you&#8217;re interested in donating candy for those decorating their trunks or tables, bring it to Deep Water at any time! But please buy the good stuff–we don&#8217;t want to hand out cheap stuff as we represent Jesus!</p>

We&#8217;re currently running low on nonperishables in our food pantry. If you want to help us feed our neighbors and friends who are struggling, please consider bringing in canned goods on Sundays––or <a href="/contact">contact</a> us to drop off on other days of the week!</p>
<p>Also, we&#8217;re currently scouring Facebook Marketplace for low cost or free appliances. We need another full-size, upright freezer for our food pantry and a refrigerator/freezer combo. Anyone have one laying around that they don’t need?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>One of the ways we connect at Deep Water is through small groups. Small groups meet regularly to help us GATHER, GROW and ENGAGE—the three things we want each person to do as a follower of Jesus. Groups are an integral part of our church&#8217;s mission, providing a warm and welcoming environment where individuals can develop deep relationships and grow in their relationship with God.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in exploring the opportunity to join a small group or discipleship group, talk to me on a Sunday or <a href="/contact" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contact</a> me. Expect a lengthier announcement as we guide you through the process of getting connected.</p>
