watershed: a community church

It's been an exciting couple of months for the watershed family, with several new friends joining us for the journey of life with God.  We're still a young family and learning how to best share the joys and challenges of life together.  My prayer has been that we will continue to listen to the voice of God together to find our way forward.

That means we need you!

As part of our family, we rely on the work of God in your life to help us be who God wants us to be. Where is God leading you to join his work in the world?  Who are the people you can share the journey with? How can we help one another pursue God together?

Shortly after the beginning of the year, we'll have several specific opportunities for you to experience more of what we mean when we say "be the church."  Some of these opportunities include:

• discover watershed | a forum for you to hear the watershed story and share your ideas for the next chapter. 
  
• neighborhood connections | a group of people committed to"doing life" together: serving, laughing, growing, sharing, crying, praying living.
• going deeper | groups of people who want to connect around a specific topic or area of interest.
• play a part | getting involved in the needs of the world around us and sharing the opportunities with one another.

 Stay tuned for more details and specifics about each of these opportunities. 

This Saturday: Fall Cleanup

The leaves are down, and we have a few opportunities to rake and do some general fall cleanup for MARC & HeadStart.  We'll meet at MARC Stoughton this coming Saturday, November 22nd at 9am. Bring a rake, bush trimmers, gloves, a leaf blower or whatever else might help out with fall cleanup. If you know of someone else who could use help raking or fall cleanup, please let Jeff L know (email or 347-7705).

Capturing Your Dream

As you consider your dreams, we'd love to capture what you're thinking in some kind of tangible way.  Will you consider how you might be able to share your dream through art, music, writing, video, or whatever works for you?  We'd love to keep these dreams in front of us as we continue exploring how to live a life that matters, pursuing the dreams of God for our life together.

Living A Life That Matters

What have you discovered about your dreams? Are they helping you to live a life that matters? Over the next 2 weeks, we'll go deeper into helping you discover more about how you can live a life of significance and purpose, even while we're in the process of figuring out our dreams.

Check out the latest opportunities to play a part and serve with others in the watershed family.

If you've hung around watershed for long, you know that we're focused on being the church...putting our faith in action.

The church is not a place. The church is people following Jesus and joining God in his work in the world. God is redeeming the world, making things right.

That means you can join in the work that God is doing in the world, in your home, neighborhood, workplace, school.

There are a few opportunities I wanted to share with you:

• Rake
• Door
• Girl-to-Girl
• Parent Connections
