From the Disciple web site: "DISCIPLE aims at transformation - not just information - and calls on persons to submit themselves to examination by Scripture, to put themselves under the power of God’s Word, and to be changed by God’s Word. DISCIPLE invites persons to bring their experiences and struggles to the Scripture."

All of the Christian Churches (Disciples of Christ) in the Southwest gather once every two years for worship, renewal and fellowship. The next gathering is October 19-21, 2006 in Amarillo, TX. Featured speakers include Joey Jeter and Alvin Jackson, and the Saturday night worship will take place in Palo Duro Canyon! Our own Brian Coats is in charge of a youth worker training during the event.

Also, don't forget to visit the online calendar. It enables you to send yourself reminders of upcoming events, send invitations to friends and colleagues and download the church schedule to your personal computer. You can find all of the church activities, birthdays and anniversaries for August on that calendar, as well as the scheduled Elders and Deacons for each Sunday.

Also, there is a place to submit prayer requests and a new feature called "DCC TV," which is a video of our Sunday worship.
