WE Serve Sunday has always been a favorite weekend here at The Water’s Edge. The church leaves the building to go out into the community to serve with mission partners all over the city. WE Serve Saturday’s will expand this tradition from once a year to once a month!
Every second Saturday of the month, WE will be going out into the community to serve and share the love of Jesus with others. We will have a variety of opportunities to serve, including packaging diapers, building beds, cooking meals and more.
Check out the WE Serve Saturday schedule below and sign-up for upcoming serving projects. Questions? Contact Leandra.

March 12th – Release Ministries
Release Ministries serves at-risk youth and foster families in Omaha through Bible studies, mentoring, and mental health support. They also have a foster care closet where foster families can come to shop for free clothes, baby supplies, and kid’s toys so that they have everything they need for their foster children.
WE will be helping switch out their winter clothes for spring items! We’ll help move, sort, stack and organize the foster care closet so that parents and children can easily find the things that they need. This closet is a huge blessing to foster children that have been moved from home to home and may not have many things of their own.
- Time: 9:00am – Noon
- Ages: All ages welcome!
- Location: 3223 N 45th St, Omaha, NE 68104
