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 (September 22) at 6:45pm. Need more info, check out the Facebook event here.
The lineup is nearly full for this month, so message Jeff on Facebook or sign up here if you want to play, etc. And if you have some talent you’d like to share in the future, you can sign up here.
Parent Cue for Sunday, September 22
Each week we supply a weekly Parent Cue and Kids God Time sheet.
- 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. Additionally, we will provide a hardcopy of these on Sunday for those who may not prefer the digital versions.

Engage Tip: Connect with us
Two weeks ago, we started a short sermon series called Simple Actions and last week we talked about the word ENGAGE. Putting our faith in Jesus begins a journey of faith. While we can’t earn a right relationship with God and eternal life by what we do, when we put our faith in Jesus, it’s natural to do something for others as we serve God.
Even when we want to do something, sometimes we don’t know where to start. To help you ENGAGE, here’s this week’s “ENGAGE Tip“:
Volunteer on Sunday: More than likely you’re already coming to Deep Water–unless you follow us online. So, consider helping out. On any given Sunday, the volunteers, bring snacks to share after the gathering, make coffee, greet people at the doors, help in the nursery or teach/assist in kids church. So, if you like kids, can bake (or buy donuts), or cna smile as you open a door, you can engage people every week!
Contact us, talk to Jeff on Sunday or comment below to get involved!
Baptisms
No, we’re not having another one this week! lol …well, at least we’re not planning on it yet, but we have a few people interested and can always work more in…
Last Sunday we baptized 9 more people at the beach. If you couldn’t make it, check out some of the pictures on Facebook here…or some from the time before here.
Grow Tip: Start a Bible Reading Plan on YouVersion
Two weeks ago, we started a short sermon series called Simple Actions and we talked about the word GROW. Putting our faith in Jesus begins a journey of faith. While God is the source the spiritual growth we experience, we have a responsibility to act in ways that help us grow. Without a plan to grow, most of us will never move forward in our faith.
Even when we want to grow, it can be difficult to know where to begin. To help you grow, here’s this week’s “GROW Tip“:
Tip: Start a Bible Reading Plan on YouVersion
Having a plan (and sticking to it!) is important for most big tasks in life–includingBible Reading. While reading the Bible can be a life-changing experience, getting started can be confusing. There are many plans available online, and one good place to find many are on YouVersion. YouVersion is a great Bible app for your iphone, ipad or android device–and also offers devotional material to focus reading in areas that you may want to grow. In fact, some of the reading plans/devotionals come with video helps. (Check out this one from Christian hip hop artist Lecrae.) Of course, you can review or discuss the sermon weekly thru live events each week or check out the group for Deep Water.
