We provide a safe, clean, and fun atmosphere fo them so that you as a parent can be as involved as you'd like to be with the main session--without worrying. But we don't just provide a space for children so that you can have a place to drop them off. We strive to reinforce for your children the same things we teach adults. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc7b021f4755a1432912f29/1540952174525-FRFJMLNEIU8O5HWMXES0/94d56fa6-3537-42f5-8327-8c522abdf80c.png Waters Kids - Our Approach We believe the truth that Jesus taught can be found in all kinds of different places. So we use songs, stories, art, and games to help children discover the beauty of our world and the responsibility they have to bring good to it. We try to promote these ideas at an age appropriate level by highlighting the Biblical story, sharing stories of peace, and reading children's books that lead us to the common good. We play games and make crafts that reinforce the ideas they'll hear. Waters Kids will focus in an age appropriate way on the same themes that we highlight in the main session, so that you and your child can discuss and experience the way of Jesus together throughout the week. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc7b021f4755a1432912f29/1540295036996-9EEWGDCAVBC0LVKKJKH7/gradient.jpg Waters Kids https://www.watersavenuechurch.com/home daily 1.0 2024-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc7b021f4755a1432912f29/1540343397111-63KK2RMCQH05CUQPY3I5/blueclouds2.jpg Home - Our Mission Our mission is to be a place that helps people create a better world. We believe that Jesus brought a just peace to earth, and that we have the opportunity, as his followers, to let people know that peace through greater justice is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc7b021f4755a1432912f29/1540293550515-3M18KM24RFX96SREBKIJ/lucas-ludwig-662653-unsplash.jpg Home - Welcome Waters Avenue Church is a church community that seeks to use relationships, education, liturgy, and service to our community as tools of transformation for ourselves and for the world around us. Thanks for checking out our site. We hope it gives you an accurate picture of our church, but we really look forward to meeting you in person! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc7b021f4755a1432912f29/1540343516829-1XK3F5HHWTQS7TH74L9Y/purple-clouds-candles.jpg Home - Your Mission We have hope that another world is possible, and we want to do everything in our power to live in that new, better world. We hope that you'll join us as we follow Jesus in the attempt to mobilize ourselves and our neighbors so that we have the strength needed to bring light into darkness, spread hope where there is despair, provide care where there is suffering, and make peace where there is violence and strife. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc7b021f4755a1432912f29/1540294956598-BXGXHO24JZAYQGYJUHDD/gradient.jpg Home https://www.watersavenuechurch.com/new-page daily 0.75 2024-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc7b021f4755a1432912f29/1540953653852-CFU9WB5O7ITX9Q587XJ0/lit+collage2.jpg What to Expect - Liturgical Hour - 11 AM We believe that it is important to gather together in corporate worship. We don't think it's some kind of act that will appease an angry god or earn you some kind of spiritual points. We view our gatherings as a chance to remind ourselves that there are bigger things in life than the demands that our jobs, peers, economies, or governments make on us. Our liturgy is a time we can disrupt and reorient ourselves and renew our commitment to embracing the kind of life that Jesus displayed. On any given week you may hear a hymn from the 1800's, a song from a "secular" artist, or an original by someone in our congregation. Whatever music you hear will have the same goal - to foster reflection, to inspire creativity, and to complement the theme of that week's liturgy. The same goes for our readings, reflections, and prayers. Our sermons are meant to give us a deeper understanding of ourselves and our world and to confront us with the radical teachings of Jesus and the rest of the Bible. You can listen in on our YouTube channel to see previous services to get an idea. We try to approach our Christianity in a not-so-ordinary way, so whether you've been in church your whole life or never stepped foot in a church, we think you'll be surprised by what you hear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc7b021f4755a1432912f29/1540952862770-ABL1WSIR5Q916ST4BJJ6/educational.jpg What to Expect - Educational Hour - 10 AM Our Adult educational hour typically revolves around a book study. The books we choose to read together will be ones we've chosen to give us a broader, deeper view of life. We work through theological, philosophical, and biblical texts in a way that's accessible for anyone so that we can all have a chance to learn from the various voices throughout history that have tried to answer the big questions of life. Everyone is welcome, and we'll always make sure that you can take something practical away from the discussion. So don't worry if you jump in the middle of a book study! Children of all ages also have options for classes where they will learn and experience in an age appropriate setting what it means to follow Jesus into the possibility of better world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc7b021f4755a1432912f29/1540294987093-MH0XEMWTB1KJRODC8X1B/gradient.jpg What to Expect https://www.watersavenuechurch.com/waters-kids daily 0.75 2018-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc7b021f4755a1432912f29/1540952070152-XRQ4GK3KOBGOQZU4IHZK/edit+kid.jpg Copy of Waters Kids - Waters Kids We take our ministry to children seriously.
