What is heaven? Where is heaven? What is it like and who will be there? Some believe that everyone will go to heaven. Some believe that it’s all a fantasy. Some believe that it’s a place for the angels who sit in the clouds and play harps all day. But what does the Bible say about heaven? Even more important, what does Jesus say? After all, the scriptures tell us that after his resurrection and appearances that he ascended into the heavens where he is seated at the right hand of the father.
In this series of messages, we are going to explore what Jesus and the Bible reveals about heaven and who is going to be there. We’ll learn from the story about the rich man and Lazarus, the parable of the talents, the question from the Sadducees, seeds, and the last teaching of Jesus. In all of these teachings, parables, answers, and proclamations we get a glimpse of what heaven is really going to be like… and it’s amazing!

DCC Phase II Building Plan Update
|
|
This spring we will complete the pavilion. The electricity will be run, the ceiling and gable ends will be installed to keep the birds out, and the concrete floor will be poured as soon as weather permits.
Our Phase II building plans are being worked behind the scenes. There are many variables to consider, details to work out, and permits to obtain, but our hope is that we will be able to break ground this summer or fall. The work will be done in three phases: Rough, mechanical, and finish. The addition will be completed as funds are available. Thank you again for your continued prayers and generosity!

Parking and Lighting News
|
|
| Our parking lot has 48 parking space. On most Sundays 75-85% of our spaces are being used. To create more space for our participants, we are working on plans to expand the present parking lot to the east, south, and west. We will also be adding additional outdoor lighting. We will keep you informed as these plans progress. |

Spring time is when the grass begins to grow, the flowers bloom, and the birds begin to nest. It’s also the time of year that the leaders of DeWitt Christian Church review the past year’s activities, plan for the next year's ministry, and put together the budget.
During March and April, our Senior Minister, Rick Stacy, will be meeting individually with each of our Ministry Leaders to review the past year and to plan for the next. In these ministry review and planning sessions (MRP) the foundation will be laid for the budget process that begins in May. Our budget year begins July 1, 2023 and runs through June 30, 2024.
Please keep our Ministry Leaders in prayer as we start thinking, planning and praying for the coming year of mission focused ministry… Helping people find faith, family, and purpose. |
