E-Notes from Water's Edge
 is a non-traditional service at First United Methodist Church in Mission Valley, San Diego. We meet in the "Cove" (directions) every Sunday, 9:30 AM under the leadership of Dr. Elbert Kim and the live Water's Edge band, led by Chris Durrand.

Water
Venture into the Unknown...

 

Strolling through the streets of Washington DC one day, I remember coming to a street corner where a man stood there with a Bible in one hand and a blow horn in another. A crowd gathered around him as he preached about Jesus Christ.

A part of me was impressed how he was so bold in proclaiming his faith in front of total strangers. But another part of me felt uncomfortable with his approach. I'm sure many of us have seen such spectacles and been in similar situations.

What does it mean for us to evangelize and be bold in witness our faith to others? This Sunday, we continue our series of Lead Where You Are and we look at the character of Apostle Paul.

What lessons can we learn from how he shared the message of Christ that connects with us today?  Join me this Sunday for worship as we strive to be faithful in our call to be disciples of Jesus Christ.

Blessings,
Pastor Elbert

Summer Potluck in the Cove this Sunday!
Stay, meet and mingle with new and old friends after Sunday worship 

Last month's potluck was a real feast, and this Sunday should be even better. We hope you'll join us after the service this Sunday, have a bite to eat and drink. Take a moment to meet some
new friends in our Water's Edge community.

Please bring some food or drink to share but remember that even if you should forget, there will always be plenty to go around.  

W.E. can
With your help, Loaves & Fishes Ministry at First Church, feeds more than 150 families each Sunday afternoon!
W.E. CAN

Besides canned food items, milk, eggs, and bread are always welcome. You may leave your donations in The Cove, or in Linder Hall.


One of the goals for the Water's Edge Congregation this year is to support our First Church Food Ministry: Loaves and Fishes.



And the reason W.E. can...
This is not only about distribution of food to hungry people; it goes beyond that. Watch this video and see the blessings this gives everyone involved...
