Rally Day is September 9!
Come join us Sept 9 at the 9:15 Sunday School for Rally Day! We will have snacks, games, and music! Parents are welcome to join the kids or go to church service. If you would rather have your children in service with you we welcome that too! Children will be invited to join Sunday School for a shortened time during the sermon if that is your choice. The children will be returned after sermon is over.
Summer Sunday School
During the summer months we will have a shortened Sunday School. Please bring your child into worship to enjoy music, prayer, and the children's sermon. After the children's sermon we will escort children to the Sunday school room so that parents are able to focus on the sermon. We will bring the children back right after the sermon. Sunday school is optional! We love having children in worship!

Lent Activities You Can Do At Home
Below are 12 ideas to enhance the season of Lent at home. These ideas do not take much time, but they do turn our focus to the cross during this 40 day season. Pick and choose from our menu for you and your family to focus on the importance of the season.
Prayers for Lent (or anytime!)
Be With Me, Lord
Be with me, Lord,
As I go down the path I have chosen.
Guide me to do what is right
And forgive me when I fail.
Pick me up when I fall down,
Heal my wounds when I get hurt.
Lift my spirits when they are low,
And remind me always
How much you love me,
Especially when I forget that you do.
Amen.
- Denise F Ludwig
The Doxology
Praise God,
From whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him,
All creatures here below;
Praise Him above,
Ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen.
The Benediction
The Lord bless us and keep us.
The Lord make His face shine upon us and be gracious unto us.
The Lord lift up His countenance upon us and give us peace.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
- Go to church on Wednesdays for a meal, conversation and worship. Meals begin February 21 at 6:30 and continue every Wednesday through March 21.
- Set a purple cloth on a table or mantle. Purple is the color of royalty and of mourning. This will remind everyone in the house that we are preparing our minds for Jesus’ death and resurrection at the end of the season.
- Make temptation cookies. For this we make cookies and do not eat them (you can donate them or just make everyone wait until the next day.) This way we feel temptation and remember Jesus being tempted in the desert. Read Mathew 4:1-11 while doing this if you feel so inclined.
- If you have a few people in your house you can ‘play’ with apples. Grab a bag of apples that are around the same size and put them on the table. Have everyone pick an apple and look at it. Then put them back in the bag and mix them up. See if everyone can find ‘their’ apple. Usually everyone can. Use this as a reminder to be more observant of people around us.
- Make pretzels. The crossed ‘arms’ on the pretzel represent crossing your arms in prayer. You can Pillsbury bread sticks to make pretzels if you don’t want to make them from scratch.
- Choose 40 things to give to charity. It can be 40 pennies, 40 canned goods, 40 pieces of clothing or a combination of these choices.
- Bless each other by forming a cross with water on family members forehead.
- Light candles every Sunday.
- Good deed beans. Everytime someone does a good dead they move a black been from a bowl or a box to a clear vase or bowl. When Easter comes change the black beans in the clear vase or bowl to jelly beans!
- Plant Easter grass. Plant grass and watch it grow.

We Love Having Children in Worship
At Living Waters we want your child in worship. Please bring them in to be a part of the worship service no matter what they are doing. Worship is meant to be fun and something the family does together.
