Dear Church Family,
Over the next three weeks we’ll meet the “judge” portrayed on our series logo—Samson. But in chapter 13 of Judges which we’ll be studying this weekend we aren’t yet going to meet Samson the man. Rather we’ll be introduced first to Samson’s parents and the miraculous circumstances surrounding his conception and birth. There is no judge whose story starts out so promising. Surely one whose birth is announced by a heavenly messenger must be a great savior, right?
I’m looking forward to exploring the story of Samson with you to find out! To attend in person this weekend whether on Saturday at 5:00 pm or Sunday at 9:30 am please register with this form ahead of time.

Church Family: Your church family is here to pray for you and care for you in Christian love. In fact, it is so important to us that we have made it one of our core values: “We support each other like a family.” If you are ill, having surgery, facing hardship, etc… please let us know. It is our joy to pray for your physical, emotional, and spiritual health as well as reach out in acts of love and service. We are a family in Christ – several of your brothers and sisters in Christ have also expressed the desire to offer prayers for you and extend help in other ways. Staff Minister Becky helps coordinate this care and compassion for you as part of our family, born out of love for Christ and one another. Sometimes it takes an anonymous form, sometimes it does not. It gives each of us opportunity to be reminded of the caring community we are part of in Jesus – to serve in love and be served when needed. As Paul said in Galatians 6:2 “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” If you would like to be part of our DSC Care & Compassion Team, please reach out directly to Becky
