Gifted to Serve

Dear Church Family,

Not only has God been generous with us by giving us stuff. He has also given us time and talents. Some of these talents can rightly be considered “spiritual gifts.” He has given us these spiritual gifts in order to use them to make a difference in the lives of others. Why? To reflect his light and love in the world around us. We offer our bodies and lives as “living sacrifices” to thank God for his grace and mercy to us! When we are using our gifts generously for each other, the whole community benefits. So let’s be generous with our gifts! Because He was generous with his gifts to us!

NEW Sunday Morning Bible Study Opportunities – Two new Bible study opportunities will begin on Sunday, February 26th! Both studies will take place weekly from 11:00 am – 11:45 am on Sunday mornings. You can sign up through the DSC app, or talk with one of the study leaders to express your interest.

Dr. Erik Landwehr will be leading a six-week class on Stewardship titled, “God’s Trustees.” This study will explore the biblical teaching of “stewardship.” How does it apply to individuals and groups? and what is its importance in the life of a Christian and in the church? 

Jeremy Seeger will be facilitating a study focused on Spiritual Gifts. Participants will examine what the Bible teaches about spiritual gifts. What are your spiritual gifts? How do your gifts differ from those around you? And how can you use those gifts to serve God and His church?
