My "prey" are Plano Senior High School students, walking home, oblivious to this gospel predator. Actually, I'm pretty harmless ... I usually hand them a flier and let them know about Holy Grounds Coffee Shop, which is open from 3-6 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I love my time "beating the streets." When I am out there, I feel like a missionary, calling people to come and experience Christian hospitality and connection. I have been doing this for two months now, and I am beginning to notice a few things.

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 on that calendar, as well as the scheduled Elders, Deacons and Connectors 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.

I pray that God’s love touched your heart in a very special way this Easter season through your time of worship and fellowship and celebration of the Risen Christ! I witnessed so much love being poured out and gifts being shared with one another as we remembered our Savior’s great love for us Easter morning! As I surveyed the church grounds Monday afternoon where hours before the laughter of children and their families filled the air as they hunted over 700 eggs, I came across one empty purple egg sitting all alone! I wondered how so many could miss the one that lie exposed sitting on the ground! May we all hold fast to the special memory of that Easter morning and continue to seek out those who may be lost or feel abandoned to share the love of Christ and the promise of his never-ending love for them! Remember keep your eyes open, reach out, invite them and even offer to pick them up to join you at church this week!

With much love in Christ,
Donna

Sprouts Children’s Church
Our VeggieTale friends Bob and Larry return this Sunday! All children 4-8 years old are invited to join us for a fun, interactive and exciting scripture lesson at 10:45am following the children’s moment. Bob and Larry will be sharing a special message about keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus as we connect to God our source of love! And of course with Bob and Larry there’s always lots of music and drama!

Servant Days
April 15– May 15 will be our month of seeking and serving in Jesus’ name. We are on a mission to exercise our love for Christ. Do you have a need around your home that could use the energy of a youth to complete? Garage needs attention, yard needs some sprucing up. We’re here to serve you. Many of our youth are looking for service hours. Donations to the Youth Fund for the work done will be accepted and credited to the youth who provides the service! Call me and I’ll set you up with a helping hand!

DCC Mugs on Sale
Thanks to everyone who purchased an Easter Treat mug to help support the Youth Fund. We still have empty mugs for $5 each and if you love chocolate we can fill yours up for $7. It’s not too late to remember a special friend, co-worker or secret pal.

Recycle Project
The youth will begin collecting empty inkjet computer cartridges and cell phones to help raise monies for the Youth Fund. Share the news with your friends and neighbors. Watch your mail and e-mail for a flier that you can share with them to help the youth in their efforts. It doesn’t cost a thing and helps our environment at the same time!
