Busy week this week, preparing for the humongous GPS food distribution and Soup in the Coop. Thanks to all the great servants who came and helped make this a big success. Church - you rock! Jesus loves you!

-Pastor Peter

Church, we're calling a meeting of the Ruby's leaders to discuss how we can set up a system of leadership and rotation of specific roles on a given distribution Saturday to better: 1) ensure key areas are covered, and 2) have a, 'deep bench' for when key folks are absent. If you'd like to join in the conversation, please join us right after Lenten worship on Wednesday, February 28. Thanks!

There are tons of important ways we can prepare our hearts for Easter. At Living Water, one of the most intentional is our weekly community meal & worship. Every Wednesday we're served up a simple supper of soup & sandwiches, followed by Holden Evening Prayer in the Worship Center. This year we have a very special treat: weekly installments from a ficticious family as they struggle with the very real-life issues raised by Jesus and his ministry. Here's how it shakes out:
Soup & Sandwiches: 5:30-6:30pm
Worship: 6:30-7pm

Each summer our churches' bible camp ministry hosts a really great family fundraiser. In preparation for, Heart for the Park, on August 5 the camp is seeking the talents of local artists. Needed are: jewelry, carvings, wood pieces, quilts, etc. Please contact the park with your donation: [email protected]

Are you handy? Do you have a talent or ability that you would like to share? Are you looking for opportunities to serve others in our community with those talents relating to small projects? If you think that's too many questions - then this is right in your wheelhouse. We are looking for men of all ages and all skill sets who like to get their hands dirty. Don't know how to do anything special- we need backs and bodies too. If you have an interest in serving alongside other men out in our community on (blitz) service projects, then we have something in common and an opportunity for you to get involved! Join us on the ground floor of something new- (so new, there's not even a name for it!)

If you know of someone who could use help, or handy work, but has little for resources or ability, we'd like to meet them and take a look!

Our church is mightily blessed to have a fabulous camping ministry right out our back door.  At Living Water we believe its impact is so worthwhile we're willing to support each camper with a $100 scholarship.  This summer the week we've identified for Living Water is Week 4, July 8-13:  Pathfinders (Grades 5-8).  To register simply log on their web site and note you are from Living Water:  http://lutherpark.org

We're a mixed family full of love and laughter. There is never a dull moment. We stay very busy with college tours, sporting events, school events, and family time.   

How we became connected to Living Water:

Jade and her girls have been members for about 7yrs. Greg has had an interest in attending Living Water for a while now. When we started dating (now engaged) we started going together.    

What we like about Living Water:

We enjoy the friendliness of the people who attend, the Sunday school program, and of course Pastor Ned.
