Study on Jonah Begins This Week!
We want to help you grow in your faith and meet some great people. This week (October 24th) we’ll be studying Jonah–a book that may inspire images of big fish swallowing a prophet; but it’s a book with so much more! For more information, click here.
Trunk or Treat in Wyoming 2019
We’re still gearing up for Trunk or Treat event on Thursday, October 31. We need volunteers to decorate their trunks and hand out candy to kids.
Not that creative? Ask us for some ideas!
Scared of small children in costumes? Consider donating candy for those decorating their trunks. You can bring the candy to Deep Water at any time! But please buy the good stuff–we don’t want to hand out cheap stuff as we represent Jesus!
Please contact Deep Water or sign up on Sunday to volunteer your trunk!
Dinner and a Bible Study––New Study on Jonah
We want to help you grow in your faith and meet some great people. Next week (October 24th) we’ll be studying Jonah–a book that may inspire images of big fish swallowing a prophet; but it’s a book with so much more!
Description of our Study:
At the end of the day, God is less concerned with what we do for Him than who we are in Him. Few figures illustrate that truth better than Jonah. Focused on the prophet rather than his prophecy, the story of Jonah gives us a picture of a man on the run due to his own selfish desires. Instead of showing mercy to his enemies, he determined to keep God’s grace to himself rather than share it with those he considered undeserving. Can you relate?
Over the course of 8 verse-by-verse sessions, pastor and author Eric Mason expands our vision to see that Jonah’s story is our own. Far more than a thrilling Sunday school adventure, it offers a profound glimpse into the conflict that occurs when God calls resistant believers to His mission. More importantly, it underscores the depths of His compassion not only in redeeming the lost, but redeeming those He has called to participate in His reconciling work.
So climb aboard and settle in as Eric reveals how God uses extraordinary circumstances to break our hearts of selfishness, convince us of His tender care, and unite our lives to His glory.
We have rotating teams of people cook dinner for those who want to come here straight after work or don’t have time to make dinner. We ask for a $3 donation per person to cover the cost of the food. Some prefer to join us at 6:30 when the Bible study begins. Pleas join us for a great time connecting with others and growing in your faith!
