Join us for Easter
Easter is the most important date for followers of Jesus. It’s a time to gather and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead three days after he was put on a cross between two thieves.
Join Deep Water Church at 11am on Sunday, April 5 as we celebrate!
Sunrise on Easter
As the sun rises at 6:41 AM some from Deep Water will gather for a sunrise gathering at Port Mahon near the pier. It’s a ‘bring your own chair’ and ‘bring your own coffee’ event. Come join us as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in this incredible setting with a brief service of Scripture and prayer.
Need directions? Click here. And look for the pier. Contact Jeff for more info.
Keep Calm and Help Others
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 form 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.
Habitat for Humanity
Spring is coming–despite some of the wether we have been having! As a church, we’d like to be a part of serving people who help others get affordable housing. One of the organizations that will be doing that in downtown Dover is Habitat for Humanity. Several homes will be built in Dover in this year.
Construction not you thing? They will need volunteers to prepare and serve lunches for about 20 people during Saturday workdays in the coming months. If you prefer to get your hands dirty (no experience necessary!) and are interested in helping or coordinating a team from Deep Water, we can help with that.
Contact us if you’re interested in either opportunity!
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.
