What is YouVersion?
From time to time we mention YouVersion on Sunday mornings–and we even have a brochure on the Welcome Table…so, what is YouVersion?
Each week the Scriptures are available on the screen, but also on your web enabled, Apple or Android device before we start on Sunday and throughout the week. To access our events, follow these simple steps:
Tap the dashboard icon in the top left hand corner of the screen, then tap “Live” (see the icon to the right). Depending on your screen size and version of the app, you may have to scroll down to see this option.
If you are prompted for the app to use your Location, tap “Allow” if you are looking for local live events.
If there is no prompt, or if no events display:
- Type in a group name (Deep Water), event name, zip code or city.
- Locate the event you want (We use the series name) and tap on it to participate.
- Follow the outline for the Event.
(Shortcut: Just click on the Bible icon at the top of this page. Each week, it links to the current event.)
The event is not “live” in the sense of everyone participating together at one time. People can join and work through the material when they want and at their own speed… and are not interacting “live” with others…. But you are all seeing and reading the same content… so all are literally “on the same page.”
Each week we produce discussion questions. These questions are written to help you get into the passage during the week and apply the truths discussed that week. While we don’t use these during the worship gathering, they can be used for a discussion on the way home, to review things through the week or for something to discuss with some friends.
Serve the Community at a 5K
One of our values is engaging and serving the community. Besides helping South Dover Elementary School PTA serve kids, you will get a free race day t-shirt and get fed!
They need help monitoring kids games and runners on the course from 9am-2pm (or as long as you can help).
For more info, about the race, check out: http://southdover5k.com.

How do you impact the world?
Here’s one creative way that someone explains to people what he does as a pastor. It really speaks to the impact of being part of the Kingdom of God. Hope you enjoy!
Helping the Homeless
Code Purple was a huge help to the homeless this winter. As that program winds down in the spring, many will find themselves without places to stay and access to clothing, etc. As many of you know, we provide food, hygiene products and clothing (primarily for men) for the homeless year round. If you’d like to get involved, here are some ways:
Donate Clothes: We need used men’s clothing, jeans, socks and sneakers (size 9 1/2 thru 11). As you do your spring cleaning, think of us and we’ll pass things along.
Hygiene Products: We maintain a supply of toothpaste, deodorant, soap, etc. that helps those living on the streets to maintain a level of hygiene that helps them find employment, etc.
Pickup or Heat Sandwiches: We have volunteers pick up food during the day Monday thru Friday from WaWa and bring it to the church building. On Sundays, we heat sandwiches after church and pass them out at a place downtown. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we currently heat sandwiches in the morning and deliver them to The Interfaith Day Resource Center (where homeless people can shower, do laundry, get help getting an ID, get help finding jobs, etc.).
Salvation Army Lunch: Every other month, volunteers provide a meal and serve lunch at the Salvation Army downtown.
To get involved or fund on, contact us, comment below or talk to me (Jeff) on Sunday.
Join us for Alpha tonight (Thursday, March 12)
If you are new to the faith, want to go a bit deeper with things or just checking things out, you’ll find this course helpful. Due to snow, we postponed a week and would love to have you join us tonight at the church building at 6:45pm for coffee, snack, a short video and a great discussion.
