First Friday this week on June 5
Looking for something fun to do Friday night? On the first Friday of every month, the City and downtown merchants sponsor fun events for adults and kids. This month you can expect a Kids Fashion Show from Dinos and Darlings, free Country Line Dancing Lessons, a Fashion Show by Bel Boutique and music by Emily Moses.
So come out, check out some fun events and shop downtown merchants from 5-8pm this Friday. For up to date information, check on First Friday on Facebook.
If you haven’t figured it out by now, this is not a Deep Water event; but we encourage people to be involved in the community as we all make Dover a great place to live!
I missed 101, should I take 201?
Q: I missed Church 101, should I take Essential 201?
A: If you missed Church 101, you can still take Essentials 201 this week (and 301 and 401).
In Essentials 201, we will learn the best practices for how to grow in your faith
The classes take roughly an hour; so join us June 7, 14 and 28th. (The 21st is Father’s Day.) These classes are designed to teach more about our history and values–in other words, why we do what we do–while helping you grow in your faith!
Church 101: This class is a basic introduction to Deep Water and will help you understand church membership. (last week!)
Essentials 201: This class develops the essential habits that every believer needs to become a fully-devoted follower of Jesus Christ.
Discovery 301: This class will help you discover your personality, gifts, and purpose in life, and see how God combines them for the best fit in ministry.
Dream Team 401: This class will help you connect your gifts to a place to help make the vision a reality.
If you can’t make all four,you can catch up the next time. Please let us know if you’re coming so we can plan. To RSVP, contact us or comment below!
Why Should I take Church 101?
A great question was asked last week after the worship gathering, “If I have been here for a long time, should I take Deep Water 101, etc.?”
The short answer to that is: YES!
These classes are designed to teach more about our history and values–in other words, why we do what we do–while helping you grow in your faith! But they also contain some new material and details that you may not have heard. And while some people may not want to “join” the church, we want to make what we believe clear to those who make Deep Water Church their spiritual home.

Get Baptized
Baptism is a symbol of a commitment to follow Jesus. Several people have expressed interest in getting baptized, so we’re planning one for this Sunday, May 17.
If you’re interested in being baptized, see me, contact me or comment below so we can be sure you get the most up to date information and let you know about any last minute changes. Those getting baptized should wear dark clothing and be prepared to get wet…because it’s hard to be immersed in water without getting wet! 😉
By the way, we did a sermon called “Taking a bath can save my soul?!?!” in order to clear up some misunderstandings about baptism. So if you’re not sure what baptism is all about, check out the podcast.
