Our mission: to be a sign of Christ’s love for the world.
Make plans to join us this Sunday morning at 9 am for our live-streamed service in the Sanctuary. Seating will be allowed on a first-come, first-serve basis and will be done by the ushers to maintain social distancing. Masks must be worn the entire time and all safety precautions will be taken. UNLESS YOU NEED THE ELEVATOR we request that everyone use the main entrance to the sanctuary on East Blvd.

SPECIAL NOTE: If you were at a large Thanksgiving gathering or where protocols were not observed, we ask that you quarantine from in-person worship for the safety of those present. We hope to see you back soon.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness 
It's the time of year when we think about our commitment to God in reflecting on God's faithfulness to us. What will be your response? Prayerfully consider how your gifts and tithes are a step of faithfulness in your walk with Christ. Brochures with attached commitment cards have been mailed out. You can also access that here. You may mail in or drop off the commitment cards OR simply email your response to Gary Bost. We will be collecting those through December. Let's be faithful disciples in the flesh.
Advent Is Here!
It's hard to believe, but Advent and Christmastime is upon us. While it will not be traditional favored activities, we still hope to make the season special for you. Our worship, Banter and Bible studies will be "Fleshing Out" what Christ in the world means. You will still see and hear much of the seasonal favorites. Yes, we plan to have Christmas Eve services in a safe environment with limited capacity. Look for all the ways you can connect your family with Dilworth during the season.
Advent Bible Study
Pastor Michelle will be leading an Advent Bible study on our theme for the season: "FLESHING IT OUT --- what about this incarnation thing." Join her with your Bible in hand beginning this Wednesday, December 2nd at 10 am in the MPR of the church OR on zoom on Thursday, December 3rd at 6 pm. Let Aisha or Pastor Michelle know if you want to join the zoom and you will be sent a link. Everyone is welcome!
