ldquoLead Us Oh Lordrdquo
This month I will be wrapping up my ldquo2020 Visionrdquo series of sermons that have focused on
our priorities in ministry for this year However ldquo2020 Visionrdquo is still the umbrella theme
for this year The reason for that is we are looking at life differently here at DCOG We see
opportunities not problems We see gifted servants of the Lord not just crowds on a given
Sunday morning We see blessings from God not liabilities impeding our progress We see
change as positive not negative ndash purposeful not reckless We see in the scriptures that
Everybody matters to God thus Everybody matters at DCOG Therefore we will not be
satisfied with business as usual Where God leads us we will follow
This month much planning and preparations are being made for Easter and our spring
summer ministries This of course is behind-the-scenes work most do not see Trust me
it is happening and is vital to our church life Let me encourage you while things look calm
in our ministry take advantage of our regular scheduled ministry Our Kitchen Ministry is
spoiling us each Wednesday with a lovely meal (for the cost of a Freewill Offering) and the
fellowship has been great The choir and worship team are not only preparing for each
Sundayrsquos worship but are working on an Easter cantata For the Adults the study of
Revelation is challenging not only in content but in application Our youth continue their
weekly meetings our children are enjoying the hour led by Denise Rodeffer and nursery
will be provided as needed Lotrsquos of good stuff Thatrsquos why we call it Family Focus There
is something for everybody in this church family And folks donrsquot forget what is happening
each Sunday morning We are grateful to Sarah Keller and many others who are helping
her with the new KIDrsquoS CLUB during the worship hour Thank you to Deb Burke for always
providing a wonderful nursery too If you are not in a Sunday School class please consider
making this a regular part of your Sunday morning
Before I close let me say a big THANK YOU to Doug and Cindy Reith who pulled together
our new church directory photo-shoot Thanks to everyone who helped make that happen
and to all of you who got your pictures taken I can hardly wait to see the finished project
Pastor Don

MISSIONARY OF THE MONTH
BARNABAS TASK
This will be the last year that Barnabas Task will be involved with the Dental Mission trips to Cien Feugos Dominican Republic Tom Hinton and his Board of Directors feel that it is time for the Dominican church-es to take the leadership for this mission outreach This is what the Dominican Churches and Dominican dentist are doing by supporting the ongoing dental clinics that were established and continue to function seeing patients Barnabas Task continues to minister in Central and South America spreading the gospel through CHE (Community Health Evangelism) Tom is also working with World Challenge spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ in Peru Brazil Chile Nicaragua and Cuba
This year we had an awesome Dental Mission trip The team consisted of 31 members we had 8 dentist 6 hygienist 7 dental assistants 3 pastors a nurse and other support people We were able to treat 482 patients but most importantly over 100 people accepted Christ through prayer ministry of the team and church members
There are plans being made to continue to have Dental Mission trips to the Dominican Republic as long as the churches and people want and need us
