God Myths
Have you ever heard someone use a Bible verse in a way that didn’t seem quite right? Ever hear someone use one that seemed to contradict other things you’ve heard? In planning for our summer schedule, we’ll be looking at some of these. So, if you have a good one and want to hear us speak on it, share it here as a comment, post it on our Facebook, contact us–or type it in below.

Do you like building stuff?
Do you like building stuff? Painting? Cleaning? Organizing? We’re planning one or more evenings at our worship space to fix a few things, make some minor changes in the nurseries, move the sound booth, touch up some paint, vacuum, etc. No experience is necessary–just a desire to help!
We’ll open the doors on Monday, April 22 at 6:00pm. Feel free to come by and help! Just show up or contact us for more details.
Parent Cue for 2nd week of April 2013
As a church, we want to supply resources to help you as a parent move your kids forward in their journey of faith. To help you, we supply a weekly “Parent Cue” and “Kids Devotional”. The Parent Cue will help you discuss the week’s lesson and Bible story with your child. You can schedule a time to sit down with them–or just have a discussion over dinner. For this week’s Parent Cue, click here to download it.
For older kids, we also have Kids Devotional material that goes along with what we’re learning in Kids Church. Encourage kids to choose four different days during the week to do these devotions. Most 4th and 5th graders are capable of having a “quiet time” on their own, once they’ve been taught how to do it, but they still need an adult to prompt them and/or follow up on it. Even though kids in early elementary (kindergarten through 3rd grade) are beginning to read things on their own, most are not mature enough to have a God time by themselves. This is something extra you may choose to do with your younger kids. Click to download it here.

Thursday Groups meeting at Deep Water
The Bible tells a story. Many of us often view the Bible as a bunch of fragmented bits of history, poetry, nice stories and moral tales…but in reality, the Bible tells a story. It’s a story that gives meaning to our existence, our daily lives, and to every other story on earth.
This week, both Thursday groups meeting at Deep Water (1:00 pm and 6:45 pm) begin to study the major themes throughout the Bible. This week we turn to Creation…why did God create the universe? And what does that mean for us?
Join us this week! If you haven’t come before, this is a great place to start!
No Thursday Night group on April 11, 2013
Those of you in the Thursday night community group may remember the creative way I was asked to do a wedding ceremony after group one night. (See the cup to the left!) Since the wedding rehearsal is Thursday night (April 11), we won’t have our regular group that meets on Thursday in the church building.
Most of the people who normally come should know by now, but we want to make sure everyone knows! See ya next week!
We have several open groups that meet around Dover. As a rule, if you are interested in a community group at Deep Water, connect with the group leader before coming the first time–or the first time in a long time. Sometimes groups may not choose to meet every week due to the schedules of the people in it. And few things are more awkward than being the only one to show up at a group!
Not connected? Ask us more about groups–or talk to us about helping facilitate a group where people can meet together to study the Bible, pray for each other, discuss the YouVersion questions from the sermon each week, etc. The spiritual growth and community you’ll experience may be life-changing…
