Today’s Prayer
Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.—Acts 2:18 (NIV)
Dear heavenly Father, these words were spoken by your prophet Joel so many, many years ago, but are still so very true today and fulfilled among us. Come, Holy Spirit of God, and fill us with a desire to know Scripture, study Scripture, and then tell others about your grace, mercy, and salvation. Pour out your Spirit upon us that we may burn with a desire to tell others about you and send us opportunities to do just that. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Summer Bible Class
Our summer series for Sunday morning Bible class is underway. These classes are designed to be shorter (around 30 minutes), and the content is structured so that entire families can attend, from children to great-grandparents. We'll review key characters and accounts from the Old Testament, better understanding God's salvation history and applying these accounts to our modern lives. If you don't regularly attend Bible class, this is a great way to try it out! There is never any pressure to read or talk out loud; just grab a drink and snacks and sit with us as we find answers in God's Word.
4th of July Parade
Do you have a desire to invite people to Living Water and get to know Jesus better…with an artistic flair? The Outreach Committee is in need of a coordinator to oversee the church’s involvement in the Waterford 4th of July parade. As coordinator, you will enlist the help of fellow Living Water members to determine how our church will be represented in the parade. If interested, please contact Neil Hankwitz or Pastor Voss.
