Fine Arts Festival for Teens
The Fine Arts Festival is a fun way to showcase your talents while being given the opportunity to have those talents recognized on the state, district and national levels. Last year our teens did well in Delaware, our region and some even qualified and competed at nationals.
While registration has already started, there is still time to register for the event.
The deadline for registration is February 1 and the first level of competition is February 20, 2016 in Newark, Delaware. (All creative writing, short film, mini saga, and promo video must be sent in by January 18.)
Who can participate in Fine Arts?
Students currently enrolled in grades 6-12 may participate in the Fine Arts Festival. Fine Arts is open to any student (grades 6-12) who is a follower of Jesus.

Kids Church Changes
When we started Deep Water, we used rotating teams of volunteers to teach the kids at Kids Church. As we have continued to grow, the needs for our kids have grown too. With some new volunteers and the expansion to a second service, we are now able to offer Kids Church at both the 9 and 11 am services, starting January 24. (When we first started the 9am service, we did not have Kids Church. This made it difficult for some people to attend at 9am, but we wanted to wait until we were able to offer the consistent quality our kids deserve.)
Instead of rotating teams of volunteers, we will have one teacher teaching weekly at the 9am service and one for the 11am service. So, please welcome Mariah as our 11am teacher and Mary as our 9am teacher. Both are really cool people who love Jesus and kids!
Note for clarity: Kids Church is currently offered at 11 am every week. Starting January 24, we’ll offer it at 9 am too.
Thanks for checking in this December!
As we announced previously, every time you check in on Facebook, you’ll help someone in need. The cause will change monthly. This month we are providing care for kids in extreme need.
So far this month, we have had a total of 108 check-ins. every 6 check-ins will provide a day of care for a child in extreme poverty; so 18 days of care are going to be provided for a child in extreme need through Compassion International. And we still have almost half the month left!
And remember, we’ll track the check-ins all week, not just on Sundays–so anytime you all are together (or at groups during the week) anyone can check-in and they still contribute to the causes.
