Dear Church Family,
During tough times, having supportive friends is invaluable. Their presence and love can make a significant difference. When a friend faces hardship, being there for them is crucial. Sometimes, words help; other times, they don’t. Job’s friends, for instance, ended up making him feel worse by blaming him. This week, let’s explore how to be the best friends we can be in a world full of pain.
Join us this Sunday at 9:30 as we continue our series based on the book of Job.
ICYMI – Watch my sermon from last Sunday based on Job chapter 1 on “Why do bad things happen to good people?”

DSYouth – Our next DSYouth session is Friday, September 20 from 6:00-8:00pm! If you’re a family with Middle School or High school students and you’re interested in growing as a disciple of Jesus alongside other Christians, DSYouth is for you! We study the Bible together, pray together, and talk about how we live as followers of Jesus in our world. We also enjoy games and snacks each time we meet. Our motto is “Disciples of Christ, Stronger Together. We’ll meet in the Worship Center. Please enter through the Ministry Center Reception, by 58th Street. Click here for the required Parent Consent and here for Student Registration. (You only need to do this once this year.) Parents, be a part of our parent group that also meets during this time to connect and grow! We hope to see you there! If you have questions, contact DSYouth Coordinator, Lexi Caira.
Choose an area where you can serve! – We are excited about what God is doing through us here at Divine Savior! There are many opportunities to serve on one of our DSC teams and as we continue to grow, we need more help in ministry. Some teams require a little bit of training; others are quite simple and do not. We are blessed by all of our volunteer leaders and if you already serve on one of our teams, thank you! If you would like to try something new or don’t yet have a team, please click here to see what areas you may be interested in. Teens, of course, can receive credit hours for the time they serve. If you have any further questions, please contact Staff Minister Becky.
