1. Invitation Opportunity:

Do you have a friend that needs answers to tough questions about God? Make the most of the opportunity to invite that person to our next series: Tough Questions, where we will be tackling the harder questions regarding faith. Click here for more info.

2. Service Opportunity:

At Water’s Edge, we recognize that we are college students with no money. It’s a fact. We can however, give away our time and energy. On December 18th, 12Stone is hosting a service for single moms, called the Kindle Family Christmas Event. This event is for single moms, so childcare is needed, and Water’s Edge is here to help. Click here to sign up.

3. Prayer Opportunity:

1. After the Kindle Family Christmas Event on December 18th, Water’s Edge will be gathering again to have all-night prayer. Join us as we pray for God to exhibit himself during the Christmas season.
2. Every Tuesday at 6:00, there is a time for prayer at 12Stone before Water’s Edge. During this time we pray over the service for the night.

4. Missions Opportunity:

We’re sending 7 different teams this coming Summer around the world. If you haven’t gone a short-term mission trip before, it’s a no-brainer. Do it. Click here for more details.

5. Gratitude Opportunity:

In the spirit of Thanksgiving and Christmas, learn how to be grateful and thank God and those that deserve have blessed your life. Train your spirit to have a stance of gratitude.

¹ Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.² Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits- ³ who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,⁴ who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,⁵ who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.⁶ The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.⁷ He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:⁸ The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.⁹ He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;¹⁰ he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;¹² as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.¹³ As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;¹⁴ for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.¹⁵ As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;¹⁶ the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.¹⁷ But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children-¹⁸ with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.¹⁹ The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.²⁰ Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.²¹ Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.²² Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
