SMALL GROUP OPEN HOUSE INFO
This Sunday is a great opportunity for youth, parents, and small group leaders to connect over some fun and food! Why? Because something amazing can happen when church and family decide to be two combined influences instead of just two influences. And the first step toward being combined is getting together and getting to know each other! Middle School gatherings at 5 pm and High School gatherings at 6 pm. Any and all siblings are welcomes as well!

Please RSVP by noon on October 4th so we can be sure to have enough food or group reservations for everyone!

FALL RETREAT COUNTDOWN: 44 DAYS
This year's edition is back at Camp Canaan Nov. 15-17 for a weekend of time outside with friends and leaders, high ropes, campfire and s'mores, worship led by Cameron Moore, and time in big and small groups discovering how God wants a life defined by freedom and not stress for us. Register October 9th-11th and get $25 off. More details available here.
PAY FOR DINNER BY CREDIT/DEBIT
You can pay for Youth Group dinners by credit/debit by texting dcpc to 73256 and following the prompts in the reply.

If you want to make things even easier, here's a great suggestion from a very clever parents: make a lump payment in advance and we will deduct from the balance each dinner. We have 20 dinners left this year so $50 would cover the average attender for the rest of the year.
NEW YEAR CHECK LIST
I'm often asked how parents can help out our ministry so here are a few simple ways that you can make that happen:

NEW DCPC YOUTH SWAG
