Dear Church Family,
Some people cruise through life thinking they’ve got it made. The king we’re going to meet this weekend in the Bible certainly thought so. He thought so little of God it was as if he could hold God in his hand while belittling him with his words. But the writing on the wall said otherwise.
Likewise, if we think we can hold God in our little hands, we venture into territory where we don’t belong. We will be weighed and found wanting before God. Thankfully, there is a way out from this disaster. Jesus makes the way, IS the way. Looking to Him, God shows us a different writing. Not on a wall, but in a book. His book. The Book of Life. With the writing found in God’s Word, we are assured our fate will be far different than foolish king Belshazzar.
Please join me this weekend as we continue our series “There’s Another in the Fire” and study through Daniel chapter 5. To watch live simply CLICK HERE either on Saturday at 5:00 pm or Sunday at 9:30 am.
Follow our church on Facebook or Instagram also for daily content and easy ways to share our online worship opportunities with others.

Church Survey—Your Opinion Matters: At Divine Savior Church we can’t wait to worship with you in person again! However, we want to reopen in a safe and responsible way. In addition to the counsel from our state, county, and local leaders, we need YOUR feedback to help us do that. That’s why we’ve put together a survey we hope you’ll take the time to fill out this weekend. If you haven’t done so already, please click here to complete the survey. Thank you!
