Fall Fest/Halloween Fest in downtown #DoverDE
On Friday, October 23, from 5:30 to 7:00pm, downtown Dover businesses are sponsoring Fall Fest/Halloween Festival. Local downtown businesses will be handing out candy to kids. Several downtown churches have the opportunity to use the Loockerman Way open space near Deep Water to offer some fun activities for kids. We will offer kids games, candy, etc. while we also offer information on our church.
As a downtown church, we want to be a part of the things that happen downtown. It’s a way to serve the community and connect with people who might be interested in our church.
If you’re interested in volunteering, talk to Bob Hamilton this week!
Feed the Hungry
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.
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 or talk to Jeff or Cindi on Sunday!
Where is 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.)
A shoebox can change a life!
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.
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!

As a downtown church, we want to be a part of the things that happen downtown. It’s a way to serve the community and connect with people who might be interested in our church. We are looking for volunteers to help with the booth. Some ideas may include:
- Run fun Kid Games at our booth on the Loockerman Way Green Space (open space with benches near the church–not “The Green or Legislative Mall)
- Give us Candy Donations to hand out from the Deep Water Booth. (Feel free to drop them off on Sunday!!!)
If you’re interested, talk to us on Sunday, contact us or connect with Bob Hamilton on Facebook.
