What started out as an ordinary week turned out to be anything but. In the midst of school papers, tests and classes our little Jakobe developed an illness that landed us in the hospital for an extended stay. Jakobe's now home, but continued prayers are welcome on this long journey back to full strength. Thanks, everyone! Jesus Loves You! - Pr. Peter

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

This Sunday right after worship we'd LOVE to have each and every one of you join us in writing notes of support to our deployed U.S.A. soldiers. We will set up tables, turn on some music and spend a few minutes putting words to our feelings of gratitude; while at the same time connecting via Skype with our friends at Madison Ave. Baptist Church in NYC, who will be joining us in this awesome outreach!

Join us in the exciting, new small group for Run for God's 5K Challenge!  Run for God's 5K Challenge is a 12-week Bible study program that allows runners to combine faith and endurance training in a way that helps take people, even those who have never run, through their first 5K.  This group will be part Bible study and part training program. The primary goal is to learn to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ while understanding the parallels of enduring a sport like running and enduring your faith. Check out the sign up sheet on Clipboard Central, or contact Julie Emerson for more info!

You are invited to a LW JAM Easter Celebration on Saturday, March 24th from 2-4pm. This event is open to o ur JAM kids and their families. We will have  crafts, games, snacks, and an Easter egg hunt! Please note that there will not be JAM on Easter Sunday. We will run a playgroup for our 2 year old-4K kids. The rest of the children will stay with their families during church on Easter.  Questions? Contact Christine Ebner  [email protected]  or 715-296-1890

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!
