Pray Like Jesus
Jesus taught us to pray:
Our Father in heaven,
may your name be kept holy.
May your Kingdom come soon.
May your will be done on earth,
as it is in heaven.
Give us today the food we need,
and forgive us our sins,
as we have forgiven those who sin against us.
And don’t let us yield to temptation,
but rescue us from the evil one. (Matthew 6:9-13)
It’s a simple prayer that many learn or hear as a child; but the meaning of the words are often missed or get drowned out among all the noise in life. Join us as we rediscover the power in those words. This week, we’ll begin the second week of exploring how to pray like Jesus taught His disciples to pray.
To catch up on the first week, listen here. Or, as with all messages, you can follow along as you subscribe in iTunes or thru RSS.
Shoes Boxes Change Lives
People across the country will fill shoe boxes with small toys, school supplies, hygiene items and other gifts. With your $7 donation (placed inside the box), this Christmas season, a child overseas will receive your shoebox along with literature explaining the good news of Jesus in their language.
Can I find out where my shoebox goes?
You can make the $7 donation 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.
Please return the shoeboxes to us, and we’ll get them to the collection place. The final due date for boxes is November 22. So, please feel free to start bringing them in this week!
Questions? Comment below or contact us for more info–or see Cindi or Renee on Sunday and/or pick up a brochure in the lobby. If you’re interested, pick up a shoebox too and bring it back when it’s full! And if you want to donate, but not fill a box, feel free to drop things off in the basket in the lobby!
Volunteer to Lead the Feed
A group from Deep Water Church feeds the hungry at the Salvation Army every other 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 Rout 8/Forrest Ave. Click here for a map.) We’ll be feeding next Saturday, November 7 from 11am-12:45pm.
We’ve been offered a second spot, so we would be feeding every month. In order to accept this opportunity, we need someone to coordinate this. If you are interested, please contact us or comment below!

Pastor Appreciation Potluck #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 25 after the 11 am service.
For details, contact Julie Memmolo on Facebook, contact us or sign up on Sunday or look for the post in the Facebook Group.
