YouVersion
Each week the Scriptures are available on the screen, but also on your web enabled, Apple or Android device. To access our events, follow these simple steps:
Tap the dashboard icon in the top left hand corner of the screen, then tap Live. (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 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 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 from the week before and apply the truths discussed that week. While we don’t use these during the worship gathering, they can be used to review things through the week–or invite a couple of friends to discuss them with you!
Get Involved!
Excited about things at Deep Water? Looking to make a difference? There are a variety of ways to get involved at Deep Water and we’d love to help you find a place for you to serve that matches the way God made you. Here are a few of the common places that you can get involved quickly:
Update on Food for the Hungry
As we said before, some of us have been feeding hungry people at the library on various days. We’ve had our biggest responses on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays. Those are the days that other churches or organizations do not feed people. We’re hoping to be able to commit to feeding regularly on those days.
Basically we heat pre-made sandwiches, soft pretzels, etc. (about 25 minutes) and bring them to the library where we meet up with hungry people, feed them, sit down and hang out with them for a few minutes and listen to their stories, finding out more about them. At times, we pray, invite them to church, etc. (We have several people who come to Deep Water because we hang out with them there.)
We’re not looking to create a big program, we’re just looking to love people the way Jesus told us to love people. It can be scary going the first time, but if you come a few times, you’ll get to know them and it’ll come very naturally. Of course, if you try it and it doesn’t click for you, you don’t have to keep doing it.
Currently, a few of us feed people on Sundays after church and on Mondays around 2pm. If you’re interested in giving it a try on one of those days or another time, let us know. Additional days and times are easy to add!

Farmers Market Update
The City of Dover has a Farmers’ Market sponsored by The Downtown Dover Partnership on Wednesday afternoons from 11:30am-4:30pm during the summer months on Loockerman Street in the green space near Deep Water’s worship space. Personally, I (Jeff) try to go every week to support all they are trying to do in downtown Dover.
Since, it would be an opportunity to connect with people in Dover and serve in a place close to where we meet on Sundays, we are trying to get approval to set up a table on some Wednesdays. We have a few people interested in helping me plan a few kids crafts/games and set up and run a booth to tell people about Deep Water. If you’re interested, let me know ASAP so I can include you when we know more.

Music on The Green
We like to advertise cool things in the community and encourage those who call Deep Water home to be a part of things in the community. The City of Dover is providing a FREE Concert on The Green series. Grab a lawn chair and come out to The Green on Thursdays at 7:00 pm this Summer.
It’s a great place to run into people you know or meet some new people. If you have kids, grab a frisbee or a soccer ball and let them play in the open space while you relax. For the summer schedule, click here.
By the way, “The Green” is the small circle of grass off of State Street near the church’s building–not the large green space where people watch fireworks.
