Missed Church on Sunday? Want to hear the sermon again? Check out any sermons you missed here!

At this time, masks are optional; however, let us be mindful of the needs of those around us. May we respect and love one another whether wearing a mask or going without. In the Sanctuary if someone is wearing a mask, please leave some space if you are not wearing one.

As Matthew 7:12 says, "Treat others as you would want to be treated."

Thank you for living in Christian love with one another!

Don't Forget your church as you enjoy summer vacations

Dilworth Church is full of ministry activities during the summer even while you may be away. When you are home, please join us for worship and ministry. While you are away, keep us in prayer to be Christ’s love in the world. And please remember, we need your financial support for all the ministry even in your absence. #DUMCsummerbingo is a great way to keep up with your church family! May you find fun, rest, and refreshment of body and soul in the coming days.
