Dear Church Family,
Christmas happened.
God so loved the world that he GAVE.
Whatever gifts you got (or didn’t get this Christmas), don’t forget that God has truly given you the most extraordinary gift—his one and only Son.
In case you missed it, click here to watch our very special bilingual Christmas Eve service on our church YouTube channel.
Click here just to watch the sermon video based on John 3:16 that Pastor Steve and I co-preached alternating English and Spanish with subtitles. There were more than a few people who came up to us with tears of joy after the service. They said they had never heard such a hopeful message. One lady said she came looking for a Catholic mass but then discovered she had found something even better—God’s grace!
Praise Jesus! He’s a gift that gives us peace and takes the pressure off for once.
Our Christmas celebration continues this weekend with our usual worship opportunities with Holy Communion at 5:00 pm on Saturday and 9:30 am on Sunday. Pastor Em. Carl Leyrer will be our guest preacher. I will be preaching at our Divine Savior-Delray Beach campus this weekend.
Coming Up:
Tuesday, Dec 31 at 7:00 pm English/Spanish Bilingual New Year’s Eve Worship Service.
Sunday, Jan 12 at 12:30 pm Church Picnic and Amazing Race.
Church Offerings– To all our members who are not giving online, your 2020 boxes of envelopes are on a table in the back of church. If you wish to switch your giving online simply login to MyDSC and click Give to set up online giving or to view your giving statement.
Also just a friendly encouragement if you are giving online already, this would be a good time at the end of the year to prayerfully evaluate your giving. Don’t just let your giving be on auto-pilot, but take some time to assess what you’ve been giving so that you can continue to give intentionally, generously, and joyfully as the Apostle Paul says “in keeping with your income” (1 Corinthians 16:2).
With the Spirit’s blessing we look forward to being able to continue proclaiming the powerful message of the gospel with more and more people in 2020!
Weekly Offerings: Last week: $9,037.37 | Average weekly fiscal year to date: $8,231.91 / wk. | Needed weekly to carry out our ministry plan: $8,374 / wk.
