Ducks, chickens, goats and rabbits…
No, we’re not talking about animals that may have been present with Jesus in the stable!
One of the ways we proclaim the Kingdom of God is to make it visible thru our actions. With all the gifts we give to our friends and family, it is easy to lose sight of the real meaning of giving. To help keep our focus on the real reason for our hope at Christmas and to proclaim His Kingdom thru our giving, we are presenting some other giving options for you during this season.
Check out what our friends at World Vision are doing here!
Sleeping Bags for the Homeless
As the temperatures drop, we need some items to help the homeless. One thing we need is sleeping bags that are both warm and weather resistant. This link points to bags that will help and be useful long term. You may also find them elsewhere on the web cheaper. (Feel free to post those links below or message us with them!)
If you have any jackets, hats, etc. that need a new home, let us know–and if you’re interested in getting involved, let us know and we’ll connect you with the right people!
Parent Cue for Sunday, December 15
Each week we supply a weekly Parent Cue for parents and God Time sheet for kids.
- The Parent Cue is meant to be a resource for you to discuss and reinforce the lesson with your kids.
- The God Time is intended to help kids learn to spend some quiet time with God on their own. (Of course, you’re welcome to help them and model it for them as they learn!)
We’re posting the upcoming week’s material for the lesson that will be taught this Sunday. Copies of these are on the welcome table in the lobby before you enter the main worship space. Or, for your convenience, you can download them below.

Greeters
Our location makes greeters one of the key positions at Deep Water. While not impossible to find, a friendly face helps assure people they are heading in the right direction! With the holiday season, we need some extra help since so many people travel. If you can help out for any of the weeks in December, let us know. Comment here, contact us or message us on Facebook.
