A Banner Year for 2010

DCC Family,

At the end of such a great year for DCC, I’d like to highlight our successes and give a big thank you to those of you who worked so hard to make our congregation such a great place to connect, grow, and glow in 2010. We were blessed with a 16% increase in our weekly attendance (a good 4 percentage points better than a “good year” by church growth standards). Several new believers, new families, and new babies are buzzing around this great place.

To avoid forgetting anybody, please allow me to simply extend a sincere pat on the back (or a holy hug, whichever you prefer) to everyone who set Christ’s mission of reaching the lost and serving the saved as your guiding compass this year. So many of our great volunteers put in long hours to improve every little aspect of how we “do church” around here. The fruit of your labor is the success of Jesus’ church. Celebrate successful Kingdom work!

After that celebration, we’ll need to get right back to the plow as we continue improving, building, and expanding what God has given us. Check out our goals for 2011 and prayerfully consider how you might support the work this year. People willing to humbly serve, work, lead, teach, and just simply sweat for Jesus will always be in high demand. We are truly experiencing Jesus' words:

Luke 10:2 (NLT)
“The harvest is great, but the workers are few.
So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest;
ask him to send more workers into his fields…”

I look forward to another year of harvesting at your side,

-bill
