Community News

Over this past several weeks, we have been studying the Biblical teaching on love in our summer series entitled, “Summer of Love.” What our hope in doing this series has been is to reorient our hearts and our minds around a truly biblical view of love that without a doubt is in direct contradiction to the messages about love that we see in the world around us. This Sunday, our sermon is called Let Your Love Be Genuine. It is taken from Romans 12:9-13.  

A friend of mine was giving a lecture this week at a church in Southern California and he quoted from a Wiccan (witchcraft) saying. The saying is this: “ ‘An ye harm none, do what ye will’ (or, ‘If you do no harm, do as you please’).” That sounds like love. Love is essentially doing no harm. Otherwise, its open season on whatever you want to do. That definitely is not the love of Christ for His people and it cannot be how we as Christians understand true and genuine love. Yet many Christians embrace essentially that view of love. Romans 12 begins with the exhortation “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds…”

Let’s gather this Sunday and ask for the Lord to give us a biblical view of what genuine love looks like.  Let’s pray that we would live out before the world a very different and glorious kind of love. Looking forward to worshipping with you! There is a meal after the second service! Hope you can join us. Invite a friend.

It's time to sign up for the all-church banquet celebrating 25 years of God's goodness!

Not only a catered banquet, there will be an entertaining program after dinner, with singing, praise, and inspiration all blended with a dose of humor and fun!

A generous donation is helping offset the costs but we are charging a modest fee:
     - Adults/children 13+ ~  $20 
     - Kids 5-12 ~ $10
     - Kids 0-4 ~ Free

Scholarship funds are available if needed. Please contact the church office.

Sorry, no childcare available.  Sunday Fun Day for younger kids after church on Sunday, August 3.

We need to give final headcounts to the caterers by mid-July, so we appreciate your prompt response to assist with our planning.

We hope everyone can come and be encouraged by stories of where God has led us and leave inspired to be part of His mission for Waterbrooke in the future!

The past week we've been hit by a lot of rain so that has slowed down some of the exterior grading.  Work inside continues on the sanctuary updates, with the old sound board demolished and the big beam to support the new glass wall installed.  Our best estimate right now is that we will be able to move back to the sanctuary on Sunday, July 20, so we look forward to that!  

In the meantime, having services in the Ministry Hub, although a bit tight, has worked out well as an interim measure.  Thanks for all your patience over the past 6 months as the long-awaited dream becomes a reality!

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact Casey Campbell, Waterbrooke's construction liaison.

We’re thankful to have Karise Pagano, one of Waterbrooke’s sent missionaries, with us for the summer. This will likely be her final extended time in Minnesota before returning to Italy for the long term. After this summer, she anticipates only being at church briefly—just a couple of Sundays in December or March.

Karise desires to connect with the Waterbrooke family she represents overseas. If you haven’t had a chance to get to know her yet, now is a great time! Feel free to reach out and say hello, invite her for coffee, or ask her about her ministry in Italy. Let’s take this opportunity to encourage and spend time with one of our own before she heads back to serve the Lord abroad. info@redenti.org

Student Ministry will be hosting a Worldview Movie Night at Waterbrooke!
We'll be enjoying a mainstream popular movie, but viewing it through a biblical lens. Following the movie, Brian Thomas will be facilitating a discussion comparing/contrasting the worldview in the film to Christian worldview.

This will be an entertaining and interesting evening for students and any Waterbrookers who would like to join!

Movie snacks and beverages will be served!

Join us for Summers in the Park on Wednesdays in July & August! 

- Prayer - Worship - Fellowship -

Pack your own picnic dinner, tablecloth, blanket, & chairs.

Bottled water will be provided.

NOTE - Special Worship Service Wednesday, July 30 | 7 p.m. | Waterbrooke Church

Our new Waterbrooke app has many helpful features, including a section that allows you to connect and get more information.  Appropriately labeled "Connect," it can link you to information about Baptism, Membership, and joining a small group.  It also has an online version of the back of the seat cards, so if you aren't in church and you'd like to reach out to our staff with questions, you can do it at any time!

If you would like to download the app but need help, the church office can help!

We are really excited to share that the mom’s room/conference room is ready for use!  Moms can use this room on Sunday mornings for nursing or calming young children.  We will have the TV set up soon to project the service into the room. Moms, any feedback on room set up is welcomed- contact Yvette Hatch here.  The design team is currently working on privacy/curtian options.

At other times during the week, the room can be used for meetings.

[And] let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. ¹⁰So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

You are invited to attend a fund-raising benefit supporting the Eva Sophia Project on Thursday, July 31, at Parley Lake Winery at 6:00 pm.  Featuring inspiring music by Curtis Grimes and Jenn Bostick, delicious food from the Squeaky Cow food truck, and exciting auction items, proceeds go towards Holly Meyers’ dream of building a pocket neighborhood for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities allowing them to live their fullest lives with dignity, safety, support, and choice.
