Substitute Teachers & Helpers
Interested in helping out at Deep Water, but can’t commit to being on the teaching rotation for Kids Church? We are looking for some substitutes who can fill in when the normal teachers can’t make it or ge sick. If you’re interested in serving God and the kids at Deep Water in this way, contact Jeff!
Parent Cue Changes
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 Kids God Time is inteded 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!)
Although we try to post it to the website early in the week, it goes out in the weekly email on Thursdays. For many, this may not be the ideal situation. So, we’re going to begin to post the upcoming week’s material before Sunday. Additionally, we will provide a hardcopy of these on Sunday for those who may not prefer the digital versions. If we find people do not take and use the hardcopies, we’ll go back to entirely digital to save some trees.
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!

Dover Days Thanks!
I wanted to take a minute and thank everyone for the help with Dover Days. We had a LOT of people at the booth and had the opportunity to serve them by making free balloon animals, face painting and supplying free games for the kids. We also had the opportunity to pray with people who wanted prayer, share more information about who we are and how to get connected. It was fun for me to watch everyone doing what God has equipped them to do (Ephesians 2:8-10). Some of you who call Deep Water home were there but couldn’t help with the booth because of other commitments, but we appreciate your service and connections with your families, businesses and other organizations. Although you may not have been in the booth with us, you served God where you were! And some of us couldn’t be there at all. We appreciate your diligence in your work and other commitments and hope you realize the importance and value in the way you live your daily lives. (See Romans 12:1, MSG.)
I love the people who God pulled together–and continues to pull together–to make Deep Water what it is!
If you loved tying balloon animals, or missed it and would like to try, we will have more opportunities in the future!
Community Group for Moms
A new group for Mom’s is beginning on Tuesday, May 14. Charlene Moore will be leading the group at 1:00pm at Deep Water’s worship space. Remember: There is plenty of free parking available behind the building in the spaces marked “Parking LSA”.
For questions about childcare, scheduling, etc., check out the event on Facebook here and contact Charlene. As with all Community Groups, it is always a good idea to touch base with the leader before coming by since the schedule may change slightly from time to time.
Check out the book here. Order it online or through Charlene.
Dover Days this Saturday
Looking forward to Dover Days this Saturday! The weather looks like it’s going to be a great day to be outside!
If you want to help out, we can always use some more people in the booth. Setup is at 6am and we have shifts all day until 4:30pm. We’ll also need help packing away everything at 4:30. We need people to talk to people about who we are, run some fun kids games and do the “special project” from this past Sunday. If you’re interested in volunteering for a bit, let us know if you can! If you’re not able to volunteer but are able to go–or just want to find out more about us–please stop by and say hi!
What’s Dover Days? If you missed the earlier announcements…
Dover Days is a fun local event celebrating Dover’s history. There are lots of things for kids and adults to enjoy–and, as a church, we love being a part of this community! We plan on setting up a booth on Saturday and telling people about who we are and why we do what we do. Anyone who calls Deep Water home is welcome to come and pass out literature & cool swag, talk to people–and play lots of cool games with kids.
Where will we be?
Our assigned spot is across from the Biggs Museum on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard North (formerly Duke of York), heading toward Legislative Hall. (See the red arrow on the map below.) Note: While many people call the large green space near Legislative Hall “The Green”, “The Green” is actually the smaller space to the left on the map. State Street runs through The Green if you’re heading downtown from places like Magnolia toward Loockerman St. So, if you tell someone to meet you on the Green, it’s always a good idea to check on where they think the Green is! I tell you this from personal experience! 😉
See everyone there!
