Firefly Camping Supply Cleanup
With some volunteers from another church, some of us will be cleaning and sorting some of the camping gear and collected from Firefly as we prepare to sell it. We’d love some more help this Saturday starting at 11am.

RedCross: Every check-in at Deep Water helps flood victims
With the flooding in Louisiana, we have a simple way you can support efforts to help the victims. This week (August 24th-31st 2016), every check-in supports the efforts of the RedCross as they help those affected by the flooding.
The Red Cross is a humanitarian organization that provides emergency assistance, disaster relief, and education. More than 1,500 Red Cross volunteers are working tirelessly to provide food and shelter to thousands of people forced from their homes in Louisiana. So far the Red Cross has supported over 70 shelters, served almost 300,000 meals, and handed out over 82,000 relief items in Louisiana.
Drink in style and help dig a well in Tanzania
The tumblers cost $10 and are available after Sunday either worship gathering. All proceeds will go to helping dig a well in Tanzania. I (Jeff) was there two years ago and personally saw how water was transforming people’s lives. Clean water is something most of us in America take for granted; but many in other countries collect water from mud puddles or walk miles each day to get the water they need.
Having clean water allows people to avoid many diseases and the decreased time getting water allows them to work on other projects or stay in school. Whole communities can be transformed by a well.
The organization with whom we work makes all the wells self-supporting once they are drilled; so once we invest in a well in a town, the people will be set for years to come.
So, when you look at your Deep Water Church tumbler, remember to thank God that we have access to clean water and pray for those who don’t…and as a bonus, you may get to share with friends or coworkers about Deep Water and invite them to join us sometime!
Water for Haiti
Thanks for checking in this month at Deep Water Church!
Every check in on Facebook supplied a week of water to a family in need. This month we provided 227 weeks worth of water for families in Haiti thru Northwest Haiti Christian Mission.
Check out our new cause this month as we provide Early Learning Care to disadvantaged students in the U.S. And if you want to support another water project, check out what we’re doing with tumblers as we dig a well in Tanzania.
Eat and Greet
One of the best ways to get to know new people is to talk while eating some good food. We’re organizing some dinners to allow you to connect!
There will be three dinners scheduled throughout the fall, winter and spring. You’ll be asked to host one and attend two others. It’ll give you a way to meet new people and spend time with some you may know already in a small setting.
Check out the signup table on Sunday or contact us to sign you up!
