a community refreshed in grace

Welcome

 

At livingWATERS we focus our ministry strategy on the two wings: of celebration & connection which we hope leads to community outreach. Community outreach springs from our celebration & connectedness into the community where we live.  We desire that our relationships with Christ “spill out” into the lives of others bringing a refreshing presence of God’s love as we care for the needs of people in our community.

 ‘For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, for I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ ”

"They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ "

"He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatrever you did not do for the least of these, you did not do for me.’ " Matthew 25: 42-45

Adoption by a Christian family is the best way for orphan children to become adopted children of God.  Not all are called to adopt, but anyone can love and minister to orphan children thru prayer, advocacy, giving to meet needs and helping others who adopt.
