Help support your church! Proceeds will go towards the cost of replacing the roof of the church.

 

Adult Sunday School

What beliefs do you build your life on?  What are your thoughts about life and death, good and evil, pain and suffering, the past, the present and the future?  How do you view God, yourself, and other people?  Your answers to the above questions comprise your worldview.  In fact, everything you think about life is shaped by your worldview. 

On January 29, we began a new Adult Sunday School study by Rick Warren and Chuck Colson entitled Wide Angle: Framing Your Worldview.  Over approximately a 6-week period, we will examine worldviews as they relate to the most important issues of our day such as truth, tolerance, terrorism, reconciliation, and the purpose of life.  Please contact Beth Bakker at bethbakker@att.net for more information or to place an order for class materials. 

 

Women's Bible Study

NON-DENOMINATIONAL BIBLE STUDY

Wednesday mornings, 9:30 am

WOMEN'S EVENING BIBLE STUDY

The Women's Evening Bible Study meets the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month during the school year. This year's study will be "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World" We want to worship like Mary, but the Martha inside us keeps bossing us around.  This book is a doorway to bring us into a deeper relationship with God - teaching us to focus more on the "Blessor" than the "blessings" we think we deserve.  Contact Joyce Smit or Tracey Steinbach for more information.

WOMEN'S AFTERNOON BIBLE STUDY

The Women's Afternoon Bible Study meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month at 12:30 pm in the Fellowship Hall.  The study this year will be Paul's letter to the Ephesians.  Join us!

 

Mission Ministry Team
 

COLLEGE CARE PACKAGES

Caring Community Kitchen News

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Here are some ways you can help raise funds and supplies for our Caring Community Kitchen and Mission Projects: 

  • Box Tops for Education which are on many General Mills products such as cereals, baking mixes, Progresso Soups; Labels for Education which are found on Campbell's, Pepperidge Farm, Emerald Nuts, Prego, and other products
  • Campbell's is now offering an elabelsforeducation.com website where you can register your Jewel or Dominick's cards so that eligible purchases can be applied to any school of your choice.  Of course we ask you to assign DGCC as your choice.  If you also bring the labels in, we will get double credit. 
  • Campbell's also has some special offers using collection sheets for bonus points for our church.  Please look for these and the collection containers on the table nearest the mailboxes. 

If you have any questions, please contact Jim Even.

CALLING ALL BAKERS!

We have many donations of cake and muffin mixes on the top shelf in the new pantry next to the kitchen.  Please take one or two, a pan from the church, bake it at home and return it for the next Wednesday night meal.  We serve at 5:30 pm, but someone is usually here at 4:30 pm.  Desserts are always appreciated.  Thanks for your support.
