Meals for Burmese Kids Update
Remember to check-in on Facebook when you come to Deep Water. For every check-in this month, we’ll supply a meal for a meal for a Burmese refugee child. So far this month, you’ve provided 141 meals for kids!
FireFly 2016, Code Purple & Deep Water Church
Some of you know we collected camping supplies for the homeless last year after Firefly. John Rundle had the idea; and we got permission and just showed up and did what we could.
The scope of what we could have done was unbelievable, so we connected with Red Frog, the company that runs Firefly. We pitched the idea to partner with them to collect leftover camping supplies for the homeless of Kent County during the festival. They were excited about the idea. We partner with Code Purple regularly to serve those in need around Dover and the rest of Kent County, so all the items will go to them. To read more about it, check out FireFly’s website.
This is a great example of seeing a need and creatively finding a way to serve those around us. So, I want to give a big shoutout to all those who helped last year and especially John for spearheading this effort!
Look for volunteer possibilities with this for the summer!
Feed on Saturdays at Salvation Army
A group from Deep Water Church feeds the hungry at the Salvation Army every month. Volunteers donate and prepare the food for 40-50 people and then serve it at the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army building is about 1/2 mile west from Deep Water at 611 Forrest St. (Loockerman St. becomes Forrest St. when it bends right before intersecting with Route 8/Forrest Ave.) Click here for a map.
If you are interested, please contact us or comment below and we’ll connect you with the next opportunity to serve!
Connect with our Community on Facebook
While you may already “like” us on Facebook (and if not, please do here!), some things are better posted and responded to in a group rather than a fan page. For those things, we have a Facebook group meant to be a place for people connected to Deep Water Church to share prayer requests, swap baby/kids clothes, ask about good apartments, places to buy used cars, suggestions for contractors, recommendations for doctors, etc.–all those things people do when they are in community.
While we prefer to do everything openly and without secrets, we have chosen to make the Facebook Group private so people feel comfortable sharing prayer requests, etc. If you want to be a part of the community, please ask to join!
So, click here, connect and make new friends!
Men’s Group: Live Second this Saturday

We live in a world where men often strive to be #1–in sports, the workplace, in our hobbies and in everything we do. But there are times where being second is the best choice you can make. Meet us this Saturday at Deep Water’s worship space. We’ll make coffee then watch a short video and talk about faith and how it affects the way we live our lives. If you want breakfast, feel free to grab something before your come–it’s BYOB…Bring Your Own Breakfast!
