Water Table Ministry
How many of you know about the RockHarbor/South County water table ministry?
Well I didn’t either.
When someone mentioned it to me, I wondered what the saturation level of water in the ground had to do with RockHarbor/South County???
Here’s the scoop.
Every Sunday while we do church at Laguna Hills High School, Chris Diaz and someone from the leadership team set up a table near the tennis courts and pass out free water bottles. They offer water to all the folks playing and watching various sports — tennis, softball, soccer, basketball, whatever — no strings attached.
They set up the table and man it from 9 to 10 a.m., and then they leave it there until after church is done. Sometimes they wonder around the fields and pass out the bottles to anyone who wants one. They go through about a case every week.
It’s just another way to interact with and serve folks in our immediate community. .
And who knows, maybe a bottle of water could turn into an invitation to play tennis which could lead to a conversation, which could lead to a friendship which could lead to an invitation to church, which could be transformed into living water for someone. That’s just one little scenario.
Like the guy who through many transactions turned a paper clip into a free house, we can use little things like a water bottle to cause someone to consider Christ.
Pretty cool, huh?
