Joe & Lizzie’s News Bits For January 2011
Like the Sun Flower if we Follow the SON of God we become Tall & Strong In Christ
Well, Christmas is over and another one is less than a year away. What a fantastic job everyone involved in “This is Your Life, Jesus” did. It is always great to see new faces and to see people bring people. A seed has been sown in many hearts so lets pray the fruit of salvation will soon come to their lives. Some of my favourite images from the presentations.
A New Year always begins with new goals or
resolutions, because that’s what most people do at
the beginning of a new year. Can I encourage you
not to make any until you ask God what he wants
from you in 2011? It is important that our yes be
yes and our no be no when we make a
commitment to God.
It is such a big blessing that our Counselling
Centre and Community Outreach work begins
in 2011, having been granted £120,000, enabling
the work to continue for the next three years.
Praise God!
You’ll see and hear more of these statements:
“Loving God” ,"Loving People”, “Loving Life” in
2011. I feel strongly it is important for us at DCF
to clearly present or represent our purpose as a
church. We have been born again to “Love God”
,“Love People”, “Love Life.” I do plan to talk
more about vision in the new year. These
statements: “Loving God”, "Loving People”,
“Loving Life” are not DCF’s vision but they are
our purpose, our reason for being born again.
Vision is how we go about “Loving God”,
" Loving People”, “Loving Life.” Of course, DCF
is already “Loving God”, " Loving People”,
“Loving Life” in many different ways. So vision
is already in action and, hopefully with God’s
help, I can bring a fresh, clear, corporate, cohesive
and coordinated approach to implementing vision.
In deep At the last In deep we covered the period
of Kings and Prophets, in and out of Captivity. It
is amazing to see the hand of God at work in times
of suffering. Numbers were
very low but I really want
DCF to be a fellowship that
understands the WORD,
which sets free and
sanctifies. Next In deep we
will cover the New Testament on Jan 13th
2011,
2pm & 7pm. You can download the notes from
What is she
doing!!!!

Big Sunday Night Live I believe that the last Big
Sunday Night Live went so well because so many
made an effort to take part and bring people along.
Our next one will be Sunday 23rd Jan at 6pm. If
you wish to contribute please see Dave Tatler.

NEW @ DCF in 2011
Welcome Team to meet and greet you and to
welcome and look after new visitors to DCF. Can
you please help the welcome team, and avoid a
build up of people in the hallway, by moving into

not to hang around the main doorway or hall way,
as people are coming in.
