Managing Expectations...
Worship on the Water is a relaxed, contemporary service in God's great outdoors.
We gather at 8:30AM each Sunday with coffee, pastries, and friendly people. Worship begins at 9AM.
Children...
Kids of all ages are welcome! We have worship and learning activities just for them at the rear of the worship space led by caring adults and teens. If you have ideas for how to engage kids in worship, or activities they might enjoy, or would like to volunteer to help out on occasion, please speak to one of the adults that might be hanging around at the kids table on land or send an email to Cindy Cook here.
Dogs...
Leashed or unleashed, your canine family is welcome to worship with us!
By Land...
Attending by vehicle? Follow our handy signs, or put the address (224 County Road 3146, Houston, AL) into your favorite GPS app. As you enter the gate and the pavement ends, keep straight ahead and climb the hill. Look for volunteers who will direct you to the best parking place. Remember the loop is one way, so as you exit you will continue around the loop and back through the gate.
By Sea...
Attending by boat or watercraft? You have options!
You can anchor offshore and listen through our speaker system. We will have someone on a personal watercraft greeting boaters, handing out bulletins, collect contributions, and on occasion, Communion elements. They will also deliver your contribution to the pavilion.
You are also welcome to dock and come ashore. You may enter the slough just south (downstream) of the pavilion where you will find several docks. Choose one on the left and come up the pathway. Another option is to tie to the dock just north of the Pavilion, or to beach your boat and tie it off to the power pole at the boat ramp. Please leave plenty of room for people wishing to use the ramp during your stay.
Whatever your choice, look for people in WOW T-shirts to give directions and help.
Weather...
If it has been decided that service needs to be canceled due to weather, we will make announcements as necessary on the WOW Facebook page. You can also sign up for our alert system by emailing [email protected] to add you to the system.
Church policy: If there is a tornado warning for the Houston area during a regular service (including: Worship on the Water, traditional service, or Bible study), services are automatically canceled. Severe Thunderstorm warnings will also cancel a Worship on The Water service.
