October is Pastor Appreciation month. Today and everyday we joyfully celebrate Pastor Julie Chamberlain and all that she brings to the body of Christ here at DCC and beyond. Her faithfulness, grace, compassion, and musical ability shine the light of Jesus here at DCC. The love she shares for her family, friends, and the community is truly the love of Jesus. We love you, Julie!
Matthew 5:16: "In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."

It's not too late to join the conversation! The next book the Racial Righteousness discussion group will be reading and discussing is "The Color of Compromise: The Truth about the American Church's Complicity in Racism" by Jemar Tisby. Contact the church office (382-1342) to have a book ordered for you. The discussion time for this book will be in mid- November.

“The failure of many Christians in the South and across the nation to decisively oppose the racism in their families, communities, and even in their own churches provided fertile soil for the seeds of hatred to grow. The refusal to act in the midst of injustice is itself an act of injustice. Indifference to oppression perpetuates oppression.” - Jemar Tisby

The Middle School Youth recently had an afternoon of puzzling fun. Sometimes our life and relationship with God can be a puzzle...starting out with one piece and trying to understand it. Then trying to put the pieces together upside down or without the box for guidance. Then finally completing the puzzle and understanding the big picture! Each puzzle is unique, but comes from the same Maker!
