Dear Church Family,
Let’s be honest—trust is hard to come by these days. People let us down. Technology glitches. Even the biggest names—Meta, Google, Amazon, AT&T—have their moments of failure. Diets plateau. Promises fade. And deep down, many of us carry a quiet skepticism, even as we keep searching for something real… something lasting.
We scroll through TikTok and Reels, hoping for the next life hack or secret to happiness. But most of it is fleeting. What if there is something better?
This August, we’re kicking off a new sermon series called “Trustworthy”—a journey through five powerful truths from God’s Word, shared through the Apostle Paul. These aren’t just ancient ideas—they’re time-tested, reliable, and life-giving. They lead to a life of purpose, hope, and legacy.
Too good to be true? Come and see for yourself. We’d love to have you join us. Join us for worship this Sunday at 9:30 am!
ICYMI – Watch the message from last Sunday preached by Vicar Juan David Escobar closing out our series on The Kingdom.

Installation Sunday – All new called workers in any area of our Divine Savior campus will be installed in each of our worship services on Sunday, August 3. We will also install our newly elected or new-termed DSC council members. We give thanks to God for the blessings of more people to serve with us in ministry here as we change lives with Jesus!
Youth Confirmation Orientation – We’re excited to share some important updates to our Youth Confirmation Class that reflect our deep commitment to family discipleship, spiritual growth, and lasting faith formation. These changes come after much prayer, reflection, and feedback—and we believe they will make a big difference. All students in 6th, 7th or 8th grade and their parents who are interested in confirmation are invited to join us at one of the orientation sessions: Wednesday, Aug 20 at 7:00pm or Saturday, Aug 24 at 10:30am. (This includes students who began their instruction last year and their parents.) Please RSVP here and let us know which you will attend.
Refreshments Needed – It’s a blessing to grab a cup of coffee and visit with others after worship each week. It helps us build relationships within our church family and creates an opportunity to meet new people. Our team needs help to do that. Are you willing to help by bringing a snack periodically? Or perhaps consider serving by making coffee and preparing the snacks to serve? Please contact Staff Minister Becky for more info or if you have any questions.
Join a DSC Team – Be part of the teams that support our ministry! We are blessed through YOU and we need volunteers.
