Community News

Happy Independence Day weekend, church family! The fourth of July weekend is all about celebrating freedom. As citizens, we celebrate our freedom from tyranny and oppression. One of the most famous lines that I am sure many of you know is this one: “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.” This has been attributed to Thomas Jefferson but it was originally stated by John Philpott Curran in 1790. Think about that: The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. 

As Christians, we have been granted incredible freedom in Christ.  We have been granted freedom from guilt and from condemnation. We have been delivered from the power of sin, Satan, and death. Yet, here is the reminder that we all need. Freedom requires vigilance. The apostle Paul gives this exhortation in Galatians 5:13, “For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” 

The way that we fight for the enjoyment of the freedom that we have received in Christ is by dedicating ourselves to serve one another in love. So, our message this Sunday is taken from Romans 13:8-13. It is called “Owe Nothing But to Love.” Looking forward to worshiping with you and celebrating together the deep freedom of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Enjoy Jesus deeply, family. Slow down and savor His grace. Come Sunday and invite a friend. God is so good!

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.

Click on the link here to register and view the menu.

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 old carpet in the sanctuary was pulled up this week in anticipation of laying the new carpeting soon.   When the plywood underneath the carpeting was visible, we saw many Bible verses and phrases written on the wood in marker.  People who were attending the church at that time as well as Youth were asked to express their prayers as a way to permanently document support for the new building and all the people who would pass through.  What a blessing to see the faith, hopes and dreams for our church!  Some of the examples are shown in the images here!  

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

You won't want to miss this!  Country recording artist Curtis Grimes and bandmates will be leading us in worship and sharing his powerful testimony with Waterbrooke! They are in town for a benefit concert and offered to lead us in an evening of praise to the Lord!

Curtis is a man who placed in the top 8 of the first season of The Voice and who has won numerous awards for his country music, but whose main passion is serving the Lord and sharing the Gospel.

Invite friends and neighbors!

There will be an opportunity to contribute to Ten Finger Ministry, a ministry Curtis founded to distribute Bibles and faith-based media.

Ever wonder what's going on at church?  The answer is right at your fingertips - with the Waterbrooke app.  Just click on "EVENTS" and you will see all upcoming activities!

I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. ²My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and be glad. ³Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together!

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.
