<p style="text-align: left;">On Sunday,<strong> May 31</strong>, we&#8217;ll enjoy a meal and fellowship immediately after our regular worship gathering. There is a signup sheet available on Sundays. Please bring a dish to share if you are able. Not sure what to bring? <a href="/contact">Contact</a> us to see what might be needed.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s the 5th Sunday thing?</strong><br />
Community is a big part of who we are at Deep Water. We serve the community––and we&#8217;re in community together as we grow in our faith. Every time a month has 5 Sundays instead of the typical 4, we have a potluck fellowship meal and call it &#8220;<strong>5th Sunday Fellowship</strong>.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>What&#8217;s the 5th Sunday thing?</strong><br />
Community is a big part of who we are at Deep Water. We serve the community––and we&#8217;re in community together as we grow in our faith. Every time a month has 5 Sundays instead of the typical 4, we have a potluck fellowship meal and call it &#8220;<strong>5th Sunday Fellowship</strong>.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>What&#8217;s the 5th Sunday thing?</strong><br />
Community is a big part of who we are at Deep Water. We serve the community––and we&#8217;re in community together as we grow in our faith. Every time a month has 5 Sundays instead of the typical 4, we have a potluck fellowship meal and call it &#8220;<strong>5th Sunday Fellowship</strong>.&#8221;</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>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>We will hold our Annual Business Meeting after the <strong>10:00 am</strong> worship gathering on <strong>March 2</strong>. At this meeting, we will vote on the board that represents our members. Two positions on the board are up for election/re-election. Nominations will occur in the next few weeks. While only members can nominate people for the Board and vote, any attendees are welcome to come to the meeting.</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>

We serve the community––and we&#8217;re in community together as we grow in our faith. Every time a month has 5 Sundays instead of the typical 4, we have a potluck fellowship meal and call it &#8220;<strong>5th Sunday Fellowship</strong>.&#8221;</p>
<p>On <strong>Sunday, December 29</strong>, we&#8217;ll enjoy fellowship and a traditional potluck after our regular worship gathering. Please bring a dish to share if you are able. There is a list in the foyer on Sundays if you want to try to coordinate with others.</p>
<p>Not sure what to bring? <a href="/contact">Contact</a> us to see what might be needed.</p>

<p>Our annual meeting for members will be in the first quarter of 2025. At that time, we will vote on new board members and any other matters brought forward by members or the board. In preparation for that, we are offering the chance to become a member before the meeting.</p>
<p>What makes some people members and some not members? 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 membership classes and an application to be a member for those who want to solidify their commitment and make decisions on the direction of the church&#8211;in other words, to vote on legal matters.</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>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>We&#8217;re nearing the end of August and preparing for the Fall. One of the ways we connect is through small groups. Small groups meet regularly to GATHER, GROW and ENGAGE—the three things we want each person to do as a follower of Jesus. Small 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>Small group leaders play a vital role in facilitating the meaningful connections in small groups––and creating spaces for fellowship, study, and prayer. If you have a heart for nurturing others, a desire to serve, and a willingness to guide discussions, we encourage you to prayerfully consider becoming a small group leader. We are actively seeking people who are passionate about building connections, fostering spiritual growth, and supporting fellow believers on their faith journey.</p>
<p>To have more groups, we need more leaders. If you&#8217;re interested in exploring the opportunity to lead a group or disciple people, talk to me on a Sunday, <a href="/contact" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contact</a> me, or comment below. Training and resources will be provided to equip you for this important ministry. We&#8217;ll help guide you through the process of getting started.</p>
