Weekly Update: March 19, 2025
Word from the Pastor:
I pray this weekly Newsletter finds you doing well. It has come to my attention that for many of DCC attenders and members, a cosmic perspective of sin and the cross is not something many of us have thought of before. I understand that. As I said in this last week's sermon, we, as a church-society, often begin with sin at an individual level in the form of immoral actions, and the cross as remedy to those actions.
Over the next three weeks we will begin to dive into sin and cross at levels we can more easily engage in. However, to do this with integrity, we have to know the depth and breadth at which sin has infected the universe we call home, to help understand that sheer necessity and power of the Cross. We have to see that our sin is not something that simply gets in the way of good habits, but it literally feeds and strengthens the Powers of Chaos. If you missed last week's sermon, you can listen to it HERE.
On another and final note, I pray and hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather we have been gifted during this season.

Volunteers Needed
Our church needs your support! If God is calling you and you are interested in a volunteer opportunity, please complete this form or contact one of the trustees or pastor. Thank you! https://forms.gle/K2AFU9b9fbeoiZyM7
The Board has a working list of volunteer needs relative to the church service and maintenance items at the church. Be on the lookout for this list and be in prayer about how you can help.
If you have a gift of organizing and/or managing, please consider the Hospitality Coordinator volunteer position. This is an organizational role responsible for recruiting and assigning volunteers for the Sunday Social Hour, 5th Sunday luncheon, holiday meals and general business meeting snacks, etc. Duties of the volunteers that you recruit would include set-up, clean-up, and keeping the kitchen stocked with supplies (coffee, sugar, creamer, paper goods, condiments, juice).
Social Hour: Sundays at 10:00 am
Our social hour is a great way to get to know each other over breakfast tacos! We meet in the Education Building at 10:00 a.m. before the 11:00 a.m. church service.
Dripping Springs Helping Hands Pantry
Beginning the month of February, the 2nd Sunday of each month is designated for pantry donations. Please place your nonparishable food items in the blue barrel in the Education Building.
