Jesus said “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:19-20, NLT).”

Baptism is a step of obedience where we identify with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection.

We’re planning a baptism this Sunday (May 17) during the 10:00 am worship gathering. If you’re interested in being baptized, contact us!

In preparation for our upcoming annual meeting (March 22), we’re offering an opportunity to become a member before the meeting. At Deep Water, we value everyone’s involvement and treat every person with love and respect—whether they’re officially a member or not. Membership is for those who want to formalize their commitment to Deep Water and have a voice in important decisions, especially legal matters.

We’ll be offering a two-week Membership Class on Sunday, February 1 and Sunday, February 15, after our worship gathering. These short classes will explain what membership means and what commitment looks like at Deep Water. After the classes, there will be an opportunity (but no obligation) to apply for membership.

Please sign up on a connection card on Sunday or contact us if you plan to attend. And if you’re unsure about your current membership status or would like more information, we’d be happy to help—just reach out!

Join us at Deep Water Church (107 E. Broad Street, Wyoming) for a free meal and a relaxed evening together. We’ll share a meal, connect with neighbors, and enjoy simple, meaningful conversation around the table.

As part of the evening, we’ll also share a short talk about Jesus—just a few minutes of encouragement and hope that connects faith to everyday life.

That’s it—no agenda, no pressure—just a welcoming space where friendships can grow and everyone has a place. Bring your family, invite a friend, or simply come as you are. A seat will be waiting for you.

We’ll be hosting a free community dinner every month, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

Everyone’s welcome—come hungry and join us at the table!

Our annual meeting for members is scheduled for March 22, 2026. At that time, we will vote on new board members and any other matters brought forward by members or the board. If you’re an official member, look for the opportunity to nominate persons for the Board.

In preparation for the annual meeting, we are offering the chance to become a member before the meeting. What makes some people members and some not members? We value everyone’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–in other words, to vote on legal matters.

We will offer a 2 week membership class on Sunday, January 22 and Sunday, February 1 after our worship gathering. After the classes, there will be an opportunity (but no obligation) to join. Sign up on a connection card Sunday or contact us if you plan to attend.

If you are not sure whether or not you are a member or want more membership information, please contact us.

Thank you for considering Deep Water for your charitable giving this season. When you give, you are part of all the things we are doing here in Wyoming, the greater Dover area, and around the world. (That’s how the missionaries who visit and send newsletters get to do what they do!) We truly appreciate the generosity of the people who call Deep Water their home–and the people who don’t attend regularly who support our efforts.

All contributions are tax deductible. Contributions you would like to count for 2025 must be received or postmarked by December 31.

Men’s Workday – August 30
Join us on Saturday, August 30 as we work together on a few small projects around the building. Whether you can paint, clean, carry, or want to pick up a new skill, there’s a place for you to help. Let’s roll up our sleeves and take care of the space God has entrusted to us!

Peach Festival
The Wyoming Peach Festival is on Saturday, August 2 – right outside our front doors! Since we’ll be right outside our building, it is a great opportunity to meet people and invite them to join us on Sundays. And it’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.

T-Shirts
While the official Deep Water Church T-shirt is not required to help with events, it is a cool way to show you’re connected with our faith community as you volunteer at events and on Sundays. And, if you are friendly and like meeting people, it’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…if you’re cranky, dislike people and tip poorly, we recommend NOT wearing this t-shirt! We’re moving to an online source for shirts so they can be ordered at any time. Just go here!

Men’s Conference
Some of the men are planning a one day trip to a Men’s Conference in Maryland on October 18. We will carpool. Save the date if you’re interested.

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’s mission, providing a warm and welcoming environment where individuals can develop deep relationships and grow in their relationship with God.

If you’re interested in exploring the opportunity to join a small group or discipleship group, talk to me on a Sunday or contact me. Expect a lengthier announcement as we guide you through the process of getting connected.

We’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’s mission, providing a warm and welcoming environment where individuals can develop deep relationships and grow in their relationship with God.

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.

To have more groups, we need more leaders. If you’re interested in exploring the opportunity to lead a group or disciple people, talk to me on a Sunday, contact me, or comment below. Training and resources will be provided to equip you for this important ministry. We’ll help guide you through the process of getting started.

Many people use Facebook and have access to our sermon videos. These are generally posted in the first few days of the week after Sunday. However, many people are not on Facebook or find the video feature less convenient than YouTube.

For your convenience, sermons are uploaded to our YouTube Channel. Check it out and let us know if this is helpful for catching up on a series, replaying one for things you missed or sharing with others.

Have a question about a Bible passage? Ever hear someone use a Bible verse or talk about God and thought something didn’t seem right and find yourself asking, “Does that verse really mean that?” Do you find yourself repeating a verse or saying because you’ve heard it, but aren’t really sure if it’s in the Bible or really true about God?

Now’s your chance to ask the question and maybe even get an answer. Let us know by clicking on this link and responding!

There is one more chance to join us for our Christian Book Discussion Group as we dive into “A Fellowship of Differents.” This book explores the concept of Christian community, emphasizing the beauty and necessity of diversity within the Church. The author argues that unity in the body of Christ does not mean uniformity, but rather celebrates the unique gifts, backgrounds, and perspectives of each member. Through biblical examples and practical insights, the book challenges readers to embrace and celebrate the rich tapestry of differences that make up the fellowship of believers.

All are welcome––but definitely try to read or listen to the book (Parts 4-6) before you come! Remember, you can buy the book or download the ebook to read for free from the Delaware Library system. Our final meeting is on Tuesday night, May 28.

For more information or to make sure you get followup information on the meeting times, contact us or see Jeff on Sunday!

We’re planning a baptism this Sunday (September 17) at 2:00pm at the Hamilton’s house. If you’re interested in being baptized, contact us, comment below–or just show up ready to get wet!

Also, since baptism is symbolic of joining the family of faith, come and hang out with your faith fam! Celebrate with us! Bring some sacks to share and stay to fellowship and/or swim afterward!

And, if you want to know more of what baptism is all about, check out the sermon on Facebook from this week which is about baptism–or ask Jeff on Sunday!

As previously announced, there will be a church membership meeting on May 7 AFTER the 10:00 am worship gathering. We will be voting on becoming a General Council Affiliated church. Essentially, that means we will no longer be under a board of pastors in Delaware. We will become a congregational church affiliated with the Assemblies of God. Annually, we will elect board members from among the congregation to govern the affairs of the church.

While only members can vote, any attendees are welcome to come.

What makes some people members and some not members?
We value everyone’s contributions to the community here at Deep Water and treat everyone with love and respect whether they are a member or not. Normally, 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 –– in other words, to vote on legal matters. Our current sermon series will serve as membership classes.

All current members should have received an email reminder of this meeting last week. If you are not sure whether or not you are a member or want more membership information, please contact us.

If you missed the sermons the last few weeks, you can find them all here.

Thanks for considering Deep Water for your charitable giving this season. When you give, you are part of all the things we are doing here in Wyoming, the greater Dover area, and around the world. (That’s how those missionaries who visit and send newsletters get to do what they do!) We truly appreciate the generosity of the people who call Deep Water their home–and the people who support our efforts who don’t attend regularly.

All donations are tax-deductible. In order to receive tax credit for this year, the IRS requires that contributions be received or postmarked by December 31.

Advent is a time of waiting, hope, and anticipation. It’s a time of joyful anticipation of the celebration of the coming of Jesus—while waiting and longing for His second coming. While we at Deep Water don’t celebrate with the traditional candles and other elements, we do look forward to the fulfillment of the promise of the coming of Jesus. Join us as we worship Him who came as light for the world!

With all the busy-ness, we’re going to slow down on Sunday mornings and look closely at the Story of Christmas. So, join us each week as we celebrate the coming of Christ and encourage each other in our faith.

The Christmas Schedule will be a little different this year since Christmas and New Year’s Day each fall on a Sunday. While we’d love to gather for worship on Christmas, realistically, most of us have many family obligations and it would end up just being a few of us gathered. So, we will celebrate on Christmas Eve and have no service in the building on Christmas Day.

Here’s the Plan for this Season:
December 4, 11 & 18:       Christmas—The Gift Foretold
                                                      The story of Christmas from Isaiah
                                                      Kids Church and Nursery at each gathering

December 24:       Candlelight Christmas Eve Service, 6pm
                                                      All of us will worship together                                                                                   No Kids Church or Nursery

December 25:                   Closed–Enjoy the Day with Family & Friends

January 1:                         Our Regular 10 am Worship Gathering

We’re updating our list of small groups. We value small groups that connect throughout the week so we can learn to live out our faith; but during the Covid years, many of the groups stopped meeting. We’re hoping to add to the number this fall––including some that don’t meet as frequently but target things like marriage issues.

…if you’re interested in leading a group, talk to me (Jeff) on a Sunday, contact me or comment below. I’ll help guide you through the process of getting started.
