If you are a newcomer, a new member or an
established member who just wants to find out the
new direction DCC is going ...
These four Sundays are for you!

Kiley has a children's music CD - Laurie Berkner - and
one of the songs is called, "I Really Love to
Dance."
That's what I'm all about today. |

DCC is teaming up with Casa View CC, Highlands CC
and FCC Plano for "Progressive Wednesdays."
Each Wednesday evening at 7 p.m., the youth groups
of these four churches meet together for food,
fellowship, singing and a message. The churches
rotate hosting, and our turn to host is
Wednesday, April 5. We need to have a good
turnout from the home church!

DCC is marking Lent - a season of repentance and
sacrifice - with special
readings, candles and prayers of confession
during the 10:30 a.m. Sunday morning
worship.
Also, Rev. Brian Coats is preaching a Lenten sermon series titled, "Grace for the Journey." We are called to reflect on our sinful condition during Lent, and we will. We'll also be reminded that God's grace is sufficient, and in our weakness, we are made strong. Come and hear more about this. |

|

We are blessed with many regular guests who attend
each week and make DCC their church
home. "Continuing Visitors" are those new people who
have recently attended two or more Sundays.
