This Sunday. Join us for our weekly worship experience on Sunday, August 1st in the Commons Area at 10:30 a.m. at Millard West High School.

Sunday morning we begin our new series: I Love My Church. We are going to be looking at servanthood. We love, serve, and care for others because that is normal behavior for people who are filled with God's love. We will learn that Christ was the ultimate servant and that we can't help but serve because the Spirit of the Servant has filled our hearts. When we serve, we are just being who we naturally are.

Invite a guest.

Each Sunday The Frog Pond (Sunday School for kids 3 years old to 6th grade) and The Little Frog Pond (a nursery for newborns through 2 year olds) are open from 10:00 a.m. until after worship is over (usually about 11:35 a.m.). We have a state of the art paging system for parents. Kids love The Frog Pond!

Jesus Loves Children and So Do We

Each week more and more of God's children are being developed in The Frog Pond. Kids from birth to two years old go to The Little Frog Pond and kids three years old to fifth grade go to The Frog Pond where they will learn and grow with other students their age.

We are getting ready for our Frog Pond kick-off on August 15th and the second service on September 12th. We are looking for people to join our team for the 9:00 nursery and the 10:30 Frog Pond. This is a great way to serve and it’s only once a month. The lessons, support, and wonderful kids are provided – we just need YOU to say yes to this awesome experience. Contact Nancy@watersedgeomaha.com to sign up or with questions.

Upcoming "Hoppenings"

August 15th - Backpack Blessing and “Moving On Up” to the next class

September 26th - Third graders will receive their Bibles. If you know a child that will be going into third grade this fall and would like to receive a bible and be a part of our bible mentors program, contact Nancy.

August. The sun rises a little later and sets a little earlier. But, it’s still hot outside. Football teams begin practice. We try to squeeze in another weekend get-a-way or enjoy a few more afternoons at the pool or the zoo.  We send our kids back to school! We get into a routine.

Part of the routine for many of us is church and our relationships with God, others, and ourselves. During the month of August we will look at what it means to be the church and how to find your place in the church. We will discover that the church can make us better people and we can make the church more effective in ministry to our city.

With a new worship experience starting in September, we have many opportunities to connect with others and to serve. Each week in August you will be able to volunteer to serve on a specific serving team. Serving is a great way to do good, to meet other people, to further the ministry of the church, and to experience God.

Are you new? Are you kind of new?

Are you fairly new to The Water's Edge? Do you want to know more? Then Starting Point is for you! Our next Starting Point will be held on Sunday, August 15th, at Craig and Amber Finnestad's house immediately following the morning worship experience.

We'll present an overview of who we are; help you find your way and discover what God has next for you; talk about opportunities to grow and serve; and have a question and answer session with some of the leaders on the Water's Edge leadership team.

Free Chipotle for lunch. Kids are welcome. Some of our kids will be there too! Let us know you are coming by sending us an email. We can't wait to meet you!

The Water's Edge E-Vite

Discover. Explore. Extend. Reach. Invest. Invite.

Use our Water's Edge E-Vite this weekend to invite people to our weekly worship experience at Millard West High School!

The Water's Edge E-Vite is a way to electronically invite friends, neighbors, co-workers, classmates, family, and pretty much anybody who has access to a computer to worship with you and with us at The Water's Edge. We'll see you and your guest on Sunday morning!

In response to the growth druing our first three years, we will be adding a second worship experience on September 12th. We will be adding a 9:00 worship experience. It will be identical to our 10:30 worship. We will also be adding opportunities for adults to learn, connect, and grow on Sunday mornings.

Our small groups will also relaunch during the week of September 12th. Existing small groups will restart and new small groups will form.

Come as you are…You don’t have to dress up. You don’t have to be any particular age.

We couldn’t care less who you voted for in the last election. And please, don’t feel the need to pretend about anything. The Water’s Edge is a place where God meets seeking people who are far from perfect. That means anyone is welcome, no matter where you are on your spiritual journey. So learn at your own pace. Ask questions. Seek. We believe you’ll find what you’re looking for. You’ll learn how to relate to God. You’ll experience Christian community. And here’s the big thing—you will change. Join us as we seek God together. Just come as you are.

The Water’s Edge has an opportunity for you!

We are forming two new volunteer teams.

1. Scripture Reading Team. All ages are welcome. You just need a willingness to share your public speaking skills once every 6-8 weeks as you read from the Bible during worship.

2. Video Taping Team. You will run a video camera during worship service. We ask for you to volunteer once a month and need to arrive 20 minutes before worship and stay 10 minutes after worship.

If you feel led to serve in one of these two areas, please let us know by emailing us.
