October Newsletter

Our October Monthly Serving Focus is called “For His Name’s Sake”. We met Ryan and Rachel Matteson back in June and Ryan shared his story of how he founded this non-profit program. This month we are helping them expand their program by asking you to help purchase tools they can use to help them build relationships with those in need of repair services. We will have a wish list of tools posted in the gym. Take a numbered card from the wall and write down your name next to the corresponding number on the list on the music stand. Tools can be put in the tote next to the stand. Used hand tools are acceptable but power tools must be new. Battery-operated Milwaukee tools are preferred. We also welcome your financial support. 

To give financially, you can:

  • Drop cash or coin donations in the collection jar at the Connection Center on Sunday mornings.

  • Put a check or cash in your offering envelope and mark “MSF” in the memo line of the check or mark it on the envelope and place it in the offering box.

  • Give online and select DV Monthly Serving Focus as your donation category

Current Sermon Series: We continue with our series titled Who Are You, God?  What does God say about Himself? “Tell me a little about yourself.”  We ask that question when we want to get to know someone better.  Let’s ask God that question and let’s get to know Him better.  Let’s learn about God by listening to God.
