A New King of Peace

Dear Church Family,

There is a depressingly relentless cycle of political strife and military conflict between peoples, nations, and religious cultures in our world. There is constant suspicion and segregation in our cities and communities between black and white, rich and poor, right-wing and left-wing. The list goes on. Sometimes there is even tension between colleagues at work or cruelty and hurt in our homes. Is it possible for human beings to stop fighting? Can there ever be lasting peace within our communities and cultures? The answer is yes. There is a peace and unity that happens between people when they come to know Christ. He unifies us in the only way possible. There is no greater hope for peace!

ICYMI – Watch my sermon from last Sunday on Ephesians 2:1-10 “From Death to Life by Grace!”

DSYouth: Students in middle and high school are invited to join us for DSYouth on Friday, May 5th from 6:00-8:00pm for Bible study, games and snacks. Our motto is “Disciples of Christ, Stronger Together.” Parents, if you have not yet filled out the consent form or registration this year, please fill out both: Parent Consent Form and the Student Registration Form. (You only need to do this once each year.)

Camp South: Every year, Divine Savior Church takes a group of youth to Camp South, a Bible Camp for youth entering 5th-8th grades. At Camp, kids get to study God’s Word, develop Christian friendships, and grow in their faith. Camp South takes place in Covington, Georgia from July 24-28th, 2023. Check out the 2022  Camp South video here to see what camp is like. Registration for Camp South is open. Find all the info and registration link on the Divine Savior Church app home page (Doral campus). * We also need chaperones for Camp South. All travel and registration costs for chaperones are covered, and it’s a lot of fun! Any questions? Contact Pastor Caleb.

DSC Blood Drive: On Sunday, May 7 from 8:30am-1:30pm the Big Red Bus from One Blood will be in our parking lot. Please consider donating blood to serve our community. They are offering free health checks and a gift as a thank you.

All Pro Dad: Any dads and their kids who are in PreK4 through 6th grade can team up with other dads and kids at our school once a month for All Pro Dad! We meet before school from 7:00-8:00 AM in the high school commons for a free breakfast and a character based-curriculum that helps dads start meaningful conversations with their kids. RSVP on our chapter website for our monthly breakfast on May 18th. Questions? Contact Pastor Ben: ben.kuerth@divinesaviorchurch.com

Youth Confirmation: On Sunday, May 28 we will come together as one church family for a special bilingual worship service to celebrate the students who will be confirmed in their Christian faith. Worship will begin at 10:30am in the high school gymnasium, followed by a cake reception in the commons.

Fellowship Events Team Serving Opportunity: As a church family, we support each other, are empowered to serve together, and embrace the unity we have in Jesus in our diversity. The Fellowship Event Team is a group of volunteers that serve to help strengthen the relationships we have with one another within our church family. We are blessed by events throughout the year where we get to know each other better. Opportunities to serve on the team vary and are flexible. Contact Staff Minister Becky with questions or interest.
