Many thanks to DCC's Amanda Peterson for her continued work keeping our church library organized and active. Looking for a particular book? Just want to browse the selection? You can now view the church library inventory at our website under the 'Resources' tab. (https://www.decorahcovenant.org/library-corner.)

She has devoted a space on the website (as well as the wall inside the library) to periodically highlight and review books to bring to our attention. Her synopsis of Blood Ransom by Lisa Harris, a story of modern day slave trade, is up now. In addition to her book reviews and library inventory, information on the Racial Righteousness Reading & Discussion Group can be found. Beat the winter blues with an inspiring book!

Here at DCC, we believe that camp experiences are an important part of the spiritual formation of our children and families. Registration for summer camps at Twin Lakes Bible Camp in Manson, Iowa is happening now!

The 2020 Summer Camp Theme is "Marvelous Light". While the battle between light and darkness rages on around us, we have a God-given truth to hold onto: light WILL prevail. It can never be overcome. Step into the light this summer and discover how life in Christ brings victory.

Kadens Kloset:Decorah will have their January Open Hours THIS SATURDAY, January 11th from 9-11 at 115 Washington Street. Enter the parking lot and follow the signs on the Warehouse Annex Building. We are thankful for this ministry to those in need in our community! For more information about Kadens Kloset visit their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/kadensklosetdecorah or website http://www.kadenskloset.com/decorah.html

Future open hours dates are February 15, March 21, April 25, and May 16.

We believe that ALL members of the Body of Christ are important, so we seek to intentionally connect as individual parts in order to strengthen the whole Body of Christ. C3 Tribes are multi-generational small groups that meet twice a month in someone's home for a meal, fellowship, sharing, and prayer. In addition to our regular Tribe gatherings, we have 3-4 Body-Building events each year where everyone gathers for food, fun and fellowship.

January is a GREAT time to join a Tribe if you haven't, or to give Tribes a try for the month without having to make a commitment. Contact the church office (382-1342) if you'd like more information or would like to get connected. January Tribe gatherings will be held on Sunday mornings January 12 and 26 during the CE hour after worship.

NEW RACIAL JUSTICE COMMUNITY GROUP FORMING IN DECORAH. Be a part of forming a new community group focused on combating racism in our community and working towards racial justice. Help us envision the scope of the group, and strategize its structure to most effectively work towards racial equity. This will be a collaborative and informal meeting, designed to assess the needs and interests of local people already doing social justice work, and those new to this work. All interested people are welcome, though the session is especially targeted towards those who would like to commit to ongoing anti-racist work within our community. The racial justice group will meet at 6:30 on Monday, January 6 (epiphany!) at the Decorah Public Library meeting room. Spread the word and let's show up for racial justice!
