Dover Days Signups

Dover Days will be celebrated May 2-4, 2014. The event is the largest in Kent County and drew nearly 50,000 people in 2013. A blend of traditions and modern attractions, celebrates First State history. Part of what makes us who we are as a church is the desire to be connected and part of the community outside of the space we meet weekly. As a church we encourage people to be actively involved in the community and take part in the many festivals in and around Dover.

In addition to hanging out and participating in Dover Days events individually, Deep Water also has an information booth where we give out information about who we are while doing fun games, etc. with kids. To make it a success, we need volunteers on Saturday to do a variety of tasks. And we’d love to have people volunteer to do face painting, tie balloon animals, run small ‘carnival games’ for kids, etc.
To sign up to help, contact us or comment below. We’ll also have signup list available Sunday–along with a brief Clown College to teach some simple balloon animals.

Adventure Ahead: Kayaking Trip for Guys

Kayak Trip-07

Looking for adventure? Some men from Deep Water are planning a trip on the water. On May 17, we’ll head out on some kayaks to explore the St. Jones and head down toward the bay. It will be a challenging day of adventure with other guys. The cost will be about $20 for a rented kayak–free if you happen to have a kayak.

If you’re interested in going, contact us, RSVP to the event thru our online community or comment below. Since we need to arrange the kayak rentals ahead of time, we’ll need a commitment soon.

We’re hoping to plan some other outdoor trips for guys–and some open to anyone who wants to go. If you love the outdoors and want to help us plan, contact Jeff!

Kids God Time Sheets & Monthly Parent Cue (Sunday, April 20 & 27)

Church and familyEach month we supply a Parent Cue for parents and a weekly God Time sheet for kids.

We post the monthly Parent Cue discussion sheet and the week’s God Time exercise for the lesson that was taught this Sunday. Copies of these are also available on the welcome table as you enter the main worship space. Or, for your convenience, you can download them below.

Parent Cue Discussion Spiritual Discussion Starter Sheet
For the material this month: Parent Cue – April 2014.

God Time Quiet Time Exercise for Kids
For the lesson from this Sunday: God Time April 20.
Looking forward to next week’s? Check out the one for God Time April 27.

What’s the deal with these anyway?
Our goal as a church is provide you with resources to help your children grow spiritually. We’re doing our best to make things simple and easy. Please feel free to give us feedback on this!

  • The Parent Cue is meant to be a resource for you to discuss and reinforce the lesson with your kids. The monthly sheet contains discussion questions for each week. They are designed to help you understand what your kids are learning and talk with your kids about spiritual principles in a relaxed way. They make great dinner conversation!
  • The God Time is intended to help kids learn to spend some quiet time with God on their own so they learn to grow spiritually and begin to take responsibility for doing spiritual things on their own. (Of course, they can be fun to do as a family and you’re welcome to help them and model it for them as they learn!)

Celebrate Easter–Invite a friend

Easter is more than a time for searching for hidden eggs and eating candy. It’s a time to find or re-kindle our spiritual side…a time to celebrate newness of life and the opportunity to put our faith in something bigger. Statistically, many people would attend church if invited by a friend. Pray and invite some people this week who might enjoy Deep Water. We promise not to be weird…well, except with the photo booth pics! 😉

Want to know how NOT to invite people? Check out below:

So, join us this Sunday, April 20 at 11am as we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus and what it means for us now! As always, we have nursery care available. The kids will join us for the message this week so we won’t have kids church.
Like last week, we will have a fun “photo booth” available for a few minutes before and after the service so you can get a high quality digital picture for your family and friends (and maybe a few silly ones too!) – hope to see you there!

8 Things Healthy Couples Don’t Do

One of our goals as a church is to see people grow spiritually. Many of us are married, so this article may be or interest. Let us know what you think by commenting below or on Facebook. Is there anything you would add? Anything with which you disagree? And I can’t help but think how some of this may be good advice for any relationship.
