This Sunday, Rebeca is closing out our two-part series, where we've been exploring the meaning behind our church’s name and discovering our identity as a community. We're also changing up our typical service order to allow for a longer worship & prayer time after the sermon!

It's going to be an amazing Sunday full of worship, prayer, and community, and we can't wait to see you!

Water baptism is a significant step in our faith journey. It's a public demonstration of our faith that Jesus models in the New Testament, and is symbolic of cleansing, death and resurrection.

Baptisms are happening next on Sunday, September 1st during our services. Please note that our services for Sunday, September 1 will be at 9:00am and 11:00am, to accommodate the River Baptisms happening between the services.

Because of our value of Generosity, Living Waters has always been a room-making community. On September 8th we’re moving to fall services times of:

8:45am • 10:15am • 11:45am

Kids@theFort will gather in the 8:45am & 10:15am, with nursery (ages 0-2) available in those services also.

If you’ve customarily joined us for the second service, consider the 8:45am or 11:45am as an option this fall when able. We also hope this adjustment adds incentive for more families to join us for the 8:45am service, making Kids@theFort a little roomier in the 10:15am.

Thanks for making our church a more hospitable and helpful place–we’re looking forward to a great fall together!

Come and spend time with us! Bring a chair. Bring some dinner and, if you like, a snack to share. But most importantly, bring yourself! Come to the picnic shelter at Derby Reach Park for a special evening of visiting and reconnecting with women in our community around the fire.

There is no scheduled programme for this evening. We simply wanted to create a space for us to reconnect with each other. Feel free to come at any time between 6 and 8:30 pm. 

Questions? Contact Kirsten. We look forward to seeing you!

Join us on September 3rd for our annual Refresh Night from 6:30–8:30pm! It’s a great opportunity for parents and students to get to know our youth ministry, connect with other parents and students, and meet our leaders. We’ll kick off with a fun Parents vs. Students Ultimate game, followed by a BBQ and a sneak peek into what the year holds.

To help us plan, please RSVP by August 26. And if you’re up for joining the Parent team in the Ultimate game, let us know by August 26 too!

Grief is many things and expresses itself in many forms. It’s felt in our lives. It’s painful. We grieve for many reasons, none that deserves to ‘one-up’ the other: a broken relationship, the death of a loved one, a health diagnosis, or a significant life change, or feeling the residue of grief walking through the above with someone we care about.

Grief isn’t a problem to solve, an issue to grow out of, a thorn in the flesh, or something to get over. It’s not linear with a clear step-by-step process or a project to medicate and distract from. We don’t get to hop over grief with rose-coloured glasses. Jesus promises comfort in amongst our grief and pain. He draws near to us, as we are.

We want this workshop to be a safe place to help us discover how grief is best acknowledged and understood. It will give us language to help our journeys and those we are walking with.

Facilitators: Mike Vaters & Jillian Hart MA, CCC, RCC
