Response Team
Last Sunday I shared a dream about creating a Mission Response Team. The goal of this team is to go serve people who are recovering from natural disasters. In the last few months, help has been needed all over the country. My dream is to have dozens of people register to serve in this ministry. This pool of people would be contacted when a disaster happens and those who are able will go serve hurting people together. This ministry will obviously start small, but my prayer is that it will turn into something big. If you are interested in being a leader for this ministry, contact celeste.ellis@faithwestwood.com. Join me in praying for this ministry as it develops.
Team World Vision
Team World Vision
On next race will be the Omaha Marathon (26.2 miles), Half-Marathon (13.1 miles), and 10K (6.2 miles) on September 25th. We had 63 runners finish the Lincoln Marathon and Half Marathon and raised over $26,000. We will be releasing information in the next week or so as we are still working out a few details with World Vision and the Omaha Marathon.
I encourage you to join the team. You can walk, run, or do a combination of the two. Spend this summer getting fit and help support kids in Africa! Check out our web site: www.runningforkidsinafrica.com.
The Water’s Edge is having a great year so far. Our average adult attendance is 453 per week (up 30% from last year) and our average kid’s Sunday school attendance is 104 per week (up 48% from last year)! Typically churches see less people in worship during summer months. Memorial Day is next weekend. Then school gets out for the year. I want to challenge you to do a few things this summer that will keep us thriving as a congregation and as individuals.
1. Try out the 9:00 worship experience. The service has grown in the last six months. It is identical to the 10:30 service. You can be done at 10:00 and have the rest of the summer day to enjoy.
2. Invite a guest to worship and introduce them to me and to some other people. Things are a little more laid back in the summer and this gives us an opportunity to get to know new people better.
3. If you are out of town or your child has a game early on Sunday morning, you can watch the sermon on YouTube. Visit www.watersedgeworship.com. You can also subscribe to a podcast if you prefer an audio version.
4. Do the daily Bible readings and study questions. You can always find them at on this site.
5. Register for E-Giving. People who give electronically report that it is easy and it helps them be consistent.
6. Register to be on a volunteer team. We have a few more opportunities in the summer. Email jill@watersedgeomaha.com (adult teams) or nancy@watersedgeomaha.com (the kid’s team) to volunteer.
The best is yet to come…
