Pastor Ned’s Message
Sunday Morning: “Stupid Things Christians Say"

      I’ll never forget the first time I heard it. 
Attending a Christian rock concert around my sophomore year of high school, afterwards a bunch of us guys stuck around to visit with the band.
    Holding court with several young men listening most intently, the bassist eyed up his young audience and offered this bit of sage advice, “Every day’s a good day when you love the Lord.”
    My take-away from that encounter:  “If I’m having a bad day, somehow I must be failing as a Christian.”
    In the 16 th chapter of John’s gospel, a prayer of Jesus includes these words : “Here on this earth you will have many trials and sorrows.”  And a little later, James, his brother adds, “When troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.” (1.2)
    As followers of Jesus, through what lens do we view our times of testing? And if pain and suffering are part of the package, what ultimate purpose do they serve? Sunday’s message: “Good Days and Not-So-Good Days

Living for Jesus!

2019 LW Christmas Mission
Planning Meeting – Sunday, 11/17; 10:15am
         This Christmas Living Water is doing something we’ve never before attempted: sharing Jesus’ healing light & love with 70 young women from across the country who have been recently widowed. Sunday we’ll meet briefly after worship to plan how we’ll assemble & ship these 70, ‘Boxes of Hope’. Contact Jessica Tischer for more info at: 
horsey_chick81@hotmail.com    Please join us!  

Ruby's Pantry - this Saturday!
       At Living Water we believe that life truly doesn’t get any better than when we come together in Jesus’ name to serve others through Christ. This weekend we hope your whole family (yes, everyone!) can sign in at the registration table in the 411 Building and then head over to Ruby’s Garage and help with the distribution. Come around 7:30am; we’re generally wrapped up around 10:30 or 11am. God is good!

Living Water Land Fund
         Did you know Living Water has a fund with the goal of purchasing additional land for our young, growing church? What a great way to support the next generation of believers here in Barron County.

I Would Like to be Baptized!
      God does a most awesome and amazing thing in baptism: wraps his loving arms around us for eternity and speaks a life-giving word of promise and hope. If you or someone you know would like to receive this gift, please contact us at:  ned.livingwater@gmail.com
