Operation Christmas Child 2016

Reminder: We are taking part in something called Operation Christmas Child again this year. With Operation Christmas Child, people across the country will fill shoe boxes with small toys, school supplies, hygiene items and other gifts. With a $7 donation (placed inside the box),  a child overseas will receive your shoebox along with literature explaining the good news of Jesus in their language during the Christmas season. (You can pay online and find out specifically out where your box goes. By making your donation online here using a credit or debit card you will receive a special shoe box label included in your e-mail receipt. Print or copy the label as many times as you need to attach to each of your boxes.)

If you want to contribute but not do a whole box, you can make donations to Operation Christmas Child Project in the offering or you can drop off items in basket in the foyer.

Please return the shoeboxes to us before Thanksgiving, and we’ll get them to the collection place.

Questions? Comment below or contact us for more info–or see Cindi or Jeff on Sunday and/or pick up a brochure in the lobby. If you’re interested, pick up a shoebox too!

Pastor Appreciation Thanks

Thanks for the cards, notes and gifts the last few weeks for Pastor Appreciation. While it feels awkward for me to “be appreciated”, your kind words are appreciated more than you know. I love the opportunity to be a part of what God is doing in and through each of you at Deep Water; and, of course, I enjoyed spending time with all of you who could make the potluck after the 11am service!

Thanks again!

Jeff

November 2016

Mother Teresa once said, “If you can’t feed a hundred, then just feed one.” Those words were taken to heart and feedONE was created as a Convoy of Hope initiative. Solutions to the problem of world hunger start with a warm bowl of nutritious food, which is the doorway to provide a child with an education, a healthier living environment, and most importantly — hope.

This November, you can provide meals for children in need by checking in on Facebook at Deep Water Church. Every 2 check-ins = 1 meal for a child in need. We’ve partnered with Reach and feedONE to make this opportunity possible. So, check in and do good!

 

Spooktacular Events: Downtown Costume Parade & Dover Police Department Safe Halloween Event

One of the things that make us who we are as a church is our desire to serve the City of Dover as they serve the people. We partner with the City of Dover and community organizations to do events for kids–especially downtown Dover events. This year, the event is scheduled for Friday, October 28 and includes a partnership with the Dover Police.

Since two organizations are sponsoring the event, here are two separate Facebook “events” for the event (with two different times listed because the Dover PD one does not include the checkin for the Costume Contest and the Parade from the Loockerman Way Plaza–aka the green space on Loockerman near where we meet for church), so please check out both for updates: Downtown Dover Facebook Event (5-7:30pm)– Dover Police Department Event (6-7:30pm). Please come out and support Downtown Dover and the Dover Police.

The event will start with a costume parade from Loockerman Square (the green space on Loockerman near the church’s building) down to Legislative Mall. (Legislative Mall is the big green space where most people gather for the Fireworks.) There will be lots of activities for the kids on the Mall and then a movie back on Loockerman Square Plaza.

I’ll be making balloon animals while other volunteers will run games for kids and hand out information about Deep Water. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact me ASAP! Or join the discussion in the Facebook group here. And again, please come out and support downtown Dover events!

Pastor Appreciation Potluck 2017 #AwkwardAnnouncement

If you’ve been at Deep Water the last few weeks, Pastor Appreciation month and our Potluck dinner to celebrate have been announced. It is a little awkward for me (Jeff), but I have to mention it since I write the announcements most weeks and I want to make sure everyone knows about the potluck. It will be held this Sunday, October 30 after the 11 am service. I am hoping there will be bacon.

For details, contact Julie Memmolo on Facebook, contact us or sign up on Sunday or look for the post in the Facebook Group.
