Operation Christmas Child
We are taking part in something called Operation Christmas Child. People across the country will fill shoe boxes with small toys, school supplies, hygiene items and other gifts. With your $7 donation (placed inside the box), this Christmas season, a child overseas will receive your shoebox along with literature explaining the good news of Jesus in their language.
Want to pay online and find out specifically out where your box goes? By making your donation online here using a credit or debit card you will receive a special shoe box label included in your e-mail receipt. Print or copy the label as many times as you need to attach to each of your boxes.
Want to know more? Check out how one young man’s life changed after receiving a box!
Please return the shoeboxes to us by Sunday, November 22 (the Sunday before Thanksgiving). And we’ll get them to the collection place.
Questions? Comment below or contact us for more info–or see Cindi or Jeff on Sunday and/or pick up a brochure in the lobby. If you’re interested, pick up a shoebox too!
Parent Cue for Sunday, October 27
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.

Open Mic
While not officially a Deep Water event, some of us are involved in the local music scene. One way that we can make our community a better place and connect with local people is to support local music. Everyone is invited! So, come check out the Open Mic at Espresso-N-Ice this Friday (October 25) at 6:45pm.
If you’re interested in performing, message Jeff on Facebook or sign up here if you want to play, etc.
Stop Praying: Young Adult Community Group
If you’re in the military, starting a career or going to college, we now have a place for you to connect with others in the same life stage and grow as a community. Join us on Thursday Nights at 8pm at Ian’s house where we’ll have a discussion based on Crazy Love. You don’t need to read the book (but you’re welcome to read it) since the discussion will be based on a video segment and some Bible verses.
Check out the video for this week, “Stop Praying”, here:

Operation Christmas Child
A simple Christmas gift can change a life forever! It may seem a bit early to talk about Christmas, but we have an opportunity to share Jesus with a child using a simple shoe box. We are taking part in something called Operation Christmas Child. People across the country will fill shoe boxes with small toys, school supplies, hygiene items and other gifts. With your $7 donation, this Christmas season, a child overseas will receive your shoebox along with literature explaining the good news of Jesus in their language. If you want to see where your box goes, make the donation online and you can track where it ends up!
For more details, see Cindi on Sunday and/or pick up a brochure in the lobby. If you’re interested, pick up a shoebox too!
