FALL SCHEDULE UPDATE
Recently two commissions (Spiritual Growth, Worship) solicited input regarding possible changes in our Sunday ministries to
better meet the needs of the DCC body. After reviewing input and considering the diverse needs of the body, the commissions decided. . .

1) To maintain the Sunday morning schedule as it is, with a greater effort in both worship and community group to adhere to the time frames.

2) To recommend to Community Group leadership the possibility of adding a community group during one of the morning worship hours.

3) To adjust the evening schedule earlier as a help
to families with children. AWANA check-in will begin at 5:15 PM, with AWANA running 5:30-7:00 PM

4) To add an evening fellowship and learning
opportunity for adults in the auditorium during AWANA. This will be an addition to other evening ministries (Precepts study, read-through, etc.).

The commissions appreciate the input received and look forward to continued success in the various ministries. We welcome your questions, comments and suggestions.

CIA Fall Retreat Plan now for the CIA Fall Retreat at Twin Rocks Conference Center, Rockaway Beach, September 5-7. Guest speaker will be Dr. James De Young on “Universalism in Contemporary Fiction: What’s the Danger?” Cost: $170.00 per person.

Baptism When Jesus commissioned His disciples to carry on the work He began, He called them to make more disciples who would follow Him. They were to be identified in a particular way - through baptism. The practice of baptism has been a rite by which followers publicly declare their decision to follow Jesus, and unite with others in the community of believers, since the first preaching of the gospel. If you would like to learn more about baptism, or are interested in being baptized, please contact Pastor Steve (Steve Hardy ~ at ~ damascuscc ~ dot ~ org).
