For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9
Our Mission is to follow through
on Jesus' instructions to His disciples...
He said to them,
“Go into all the world
and preach the gospel to all creation.”
Mark 16:15

There is no fear in love.
But perfect love drives out fear,
because fear has to do with punishment.
The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

“How Christians Can Help Heal Cuts From a Broken Society”
Insights| Faith & Culture | Jun 28, 2023
By Scott McConnell
Many live with this perspective on society: The world around me
is broken, the deck is stacked against me, and nobody powerful is on my side.
But what about the broken systems around us?
What role does the church play in addressing the despair people feel about the brokenness of society itself?
Scott McConnell offers these suggestions:
- Feeling people’s pain
- Praying for society’s leaders
- Treating others with dignity
- Introducing God’s character
- Sharing the true source of hope and peace

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Operation Christmas Child delivers great joy and the Good News of Jesus Christ to children in need around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes.
Our Sunday School children will be packing boxes this Sunday and next Sunday to send to a child. You can get into the fun and pack your own box for a boy or girl in need. Start with an average-size cardboard or plastic shoebox. If you want to wrap it, cover the box and lid separately.
You can pick up a list of suggested items to put into the box at the back of the church. Don't forget to also include a personal note and photo—sometimes these are the child's favorite things to receive! If you are able, a donation of $10 per box is critical to cover evangelism materials, shipping, and other project costs.
Bring your packed box back to church next Sunday. Julie will make sure it goes to the distribution center to be sent to a child in need. For many, it is their first gift ever!
COMMUNION SUNDAY
Don't forget...we celebrate Communion on the first Sunday of each month. This is followed by a Fellowship Meal after the service. This is a time to sit, eat and visit for a spell. Let's get to know each other better!
MARY JANE WILLIAMS
Mary Jane passed away on October 28th. Please keep Foster and the rest of their family and friends in your prayers. Foster was an interim pastor at DBC and Mary Jane very energetically led the children! She will be missed by all who knew her.
