This Sunday morning, September 6th: Comedy Sunday

This Sunday. Join us for our weekly worship experience on Sunday, September 5th in the Commons Area at 10:30 a.m. at Millard West High School.

 

 

 

You will have never laughed so hard and so often in church before.

Back by popular demand...it's Comedy Sunday. You will laugh, learn, have fun, be challenged, smile, and be inspired. It will be a Sunday you won't want to miss and a Sunday you won't forget.

 

Humor is not the opposite of seriousness. Humor is the opposite of despair. -Conrad Hyers

 

There is a time to laugh. -Ecclesiastes 3:4

 

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!

Kids

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.

 

 

 

CHANGES in the Frog Pond! We are off to a great school year in the Frog Pond which has created the need to make additional class adjustments starting this week, Sept. 5th. Because of the growth in our first four years and the addition of a new worship service starting 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"

 

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.







Coming Soon: The Next Chapter

The Water’s Edge launched it’s public worship service on September 10th, 2006 at Russell Middle School. The second chapter started a year later when we outgrew that facility and moved to Millard West High School. Chapter 3 starts in two weeks on September 12th as we add a 9:00 worship service.

 

 

We all start new chapters in our lives: new schools, new frustrations, new jobs, new houses, new hopes, new churches, new relationships, new challenges, new opportunities, new habits, and the same God.

 

Starting September 12th, Craig is going to lead us in a multi-week exploration of where God is leading you in the next chapter of your life: How to make changes in your life, opening and closing all the right doors, picking up the broken pieces, developing a healthy self-esteem, and living in the sweet spot of God’s success. This series will change your life!








Starting September 12th: Two Worship Services

Starting on September 12th we are adding a 9:00 worship service which will be similar to our 10:30 worship service.

 

 

Come check it out! We have room for you!





Strategic Matters

strat·e·gy - A plan of action resulting from strategy or intended to accomplish a specific goal.

 

Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water's edge. He taught them many things by parables. -Mark 4:1-2

 

 

Four years ago I sat around a table with twenty friends. For nine months we planned the launch of a worship experience. For almost nine months we planned, we prayed, and we prepared. It was a diverse group. The largest number of people were in their twenties. Some of us were in our thirties. Every decade of people from their forties to their seventies were represented. We had men and women. People from Faith-Westwood and people from the community. I’m not sure if any of us truly knew what we were doing...Continue Reading

August 22nd – One: The Loneliest Number

 

Many of us like to be self-sufficient. Others of us like to have control. And others like to compete and be on top. But our need for independence, power, and position can prevent new relationships from happening and also damage our existing interpersonal relationships. Craig helped us discover that more than one is better than one.

August 29th – Love | Hate : Love | Like


Hate is often described as the enemy of love. We will look at another alternative: like being love’s biggest enemy. Liking is being friendly and polite when it is convenient. Love is sharing life, serving, forgiving, and listening whether it’s convenient or not. Craig encouraged us to forge loving relationships that give us life.

Cuts, Life, and Healing

 

August 13, 2010

 

On Monday night, our family was visiting a friend in a care facility. We were excited to see him. We were having a nice visit with the friend and his family when our three year old son, David, tripped and fell. Usually he pops right back up, but not this time. His little face landed on the metal frame of the bed in the room. David’s cheek was split open.

 

Obviously our visit didn’t go as planned and was cut short. The next visit was to the Emergency Room at Lakeside Hospital. The physician told us the cut was deep enough that David needed stitches...

 

 

...Being hurt and experiencing pain are an important part of life. Healing and recovering is equally important. Here are the lessons from David’s fall:

  • Healing best happens in community.
  • Healing is a process that takes time.
  • Sometimes healing from a fall is better than not taking a fall at all.

I know many of you who read this are hurting in one way or another. Maybe it is physical or mental. Perhaps it is because of a relationship or an addiction. It might even be in your relationship with God. Regardless, the Great Physician is present to stitch our lives back together. And the church embraces each other as we take our common journey of healing and wholeness together.
