Disciple Christian Church children's ministry is growing!

Something BIG is about to break ground! On Sunday, February 25, a new program called "Sprouts" will come to life!

Following the children’s moment each Sunday in worship, children 4-8 years old are invited downstairs for an active and dynamic time of worship and learning geared specifically for children.

Led by trained and caring adults, children will learn about God’s love in a variety of ways from the highly- popular Veggie Tales characters. The kiddos will enjoy interacting with the popular Veggie Tales characters through:

• Music
• Drama
• Puppet Theater
• Videos
• Bible Stories
• Crafts
• Snacks

For children 3 and younger, Tiffany Kidwell, our new nursery worker, will also be using Veggie Tales resources.

Well the big day will be here this Sunday and I’m not talking about the Super Bowl Football game! I’m talking about the Souper Bowl of Caring where we team up with people across the nation to exercise an act of caring and compassion for our friends and neighbors in our community who are hungry and in need! You won’t want to assume the couch potato position this Sunday afternoon until you fill your own pantry and fridges and l’m not just talking about food to eat! So come on everybody let’s get out there and tell our friends and neighbors about the big day coming up this Sunday at DCC Plano. Invite them to come worship with you this Sunday to feast on God’s Word and don’t forget to bring your canned food to share with our friends assisted by the Plano Food Pantry! Come on, our Coach (God) is counting on us! Let’s work together and dedicate our efforts to God from whom all blessings flow!

GO TEAM! - Donna

Souper Bowl of Caring Sunday is this Sunday, February 4! ... You can help support the canned good drive to help refill the shelves of the Plano Food Pantry. Bring your canned goods (ex. canned soup, chili, stew, spaghetti sauce, any non-perishable food item) and we will dedicate them February 4 as we join churches around the nation in our efforts to help end hunger in our community.

Special Teams Projects! ... Let’s R.A.L.L.Y. (Radically Actively Living for the Lord Youth) at 9:30 am this Sunday in the Youth classroom as we plan our strategy to get some upcoming projects underway and continue our study in Genesis. This week’s scripture focus is Genesis 32:22-32.

Youth Fellowship Activity - Super Bowl Sunday Get Together – February 4 ... How about some pregame fun as we go bowling at Plano Super Bowl! We’ll meet there at 3:30 pm for an hour of bowling. Cost is $10 per person. All youth 3rd – 12th grade are invited! Friends are welcome! Let Donna know if you can make it!

CHI RHO Midwinter is February 9-11 ... This spiritual retreat is for youth grades 6-8. It is probably one of the most important weekends to reserve to come to know other Disciples youth and grow closer to God together! Registration forms are due now to reserve your place!

Mark Your Calendars NOW! ... Fourth Friday Fellowship Fast Food Night – Friday, February 23, 7-9 pm

You can find all of the church activities, birthdays and anniversaries on that calendar, as well as the scheduled Elders, Deacons and Greeters for each Sunday.

Also, there is a place to submit prayer requests and a new feature called "DCC TV," which includes the videos from the "Let's Grow" campaign.
