As most of you know, we were finally able to start moving things into the Children’s Ministry area this weekend! Thank you to everyone for your help, support and encouragement.

We are so grateful for each and every one of you. We are also grateful that we are now able to begin moving things into the Children’s Ministry area! Let’s continue to count our blessings this week.

Though we have no official date due to finishing construction, the Children’s Ministry is excited to let you all know we are beginning preparations to return!

We know we are all experiencing a rough change in seasons, but we are so grateful for our God who never changes.

This weekend no matter what or how you celebrate, know that we can always celebrate Jesus conquering death for us on the cross!

…According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you…

In 2 Timothy, Paul starts his letter thanking God and longing to see his dear friend and brother in Christ. We can relate to Paul’s sentiments, feeling so distanced from the families we have grown to know in ministry. Paul continues his message by encouraging Timothy, reminding him to “fan into flame the gift of God… for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

We love and miss each and every one of you and look forward to opening the Children’s Ministry once construction is completed!

We appreciate all of you, even in this crazy season. We are blessed to continue to have you as part of our DB church family. If ever you need any support, please reach out to any of the Children’s Ministry staff.

As we start this fall season, let us remember what Romans 8:28 says: ”And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good.”

We’ve changed the time slot for Scripture Challenge verse reciting to Sunday from 1-1:40pm. Don’t forget that the Toddler & Pre-K craft supplies will be available at the church for pick-up!

We continue to pray for all of our dbKids families. Soon, the walls will be up in our new Children’s Ministry area and we will be prepping and organizing! Praise God for His blessing and provision!

Welcome to September! We pray that you are well and hope to get you some updates on construction of the Children’s Ministry Area soon!

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:4-7)

We pray that you are encouraged this weekend through our teaching in Philippians as well as these children’s stories about God’s gifts of creation and courage. Let’s rejoice in God’s sovereignty!

Grab your silliest hat and join us Sunday at 1pm for our Zoom Back-to-school bash! We hope you will stop by to say hi! We have an announcement to make regarding our elementary kiddos that you won’t want to miss!

We know this time of year looks different for all of us - especially those of us with school-age children - and we pray that all our dbKids start out this school year confident, no matter what it looks like. We pray that they (and we) are not necessarily confident in their abilities, but confident in God’s sovereignty.

Check out the new QR code on the Toddler lessons, which link to fun videos. We also have launched a new app for Elementary (see more info below.) There are more exciting updates to come, so please stay tuned!

We hope and pray that all of you are safe and healthy. Look out for some upcoming special announcements regarding dbKids and updates on the Children’s Ministry Area construction!

We are blessed to call you our church family. Whether you have been joining us online or in person, know that we love you and we look forward to seeing your smiling faces again.
