Libby and I are so honored that you have asked us to come to DFC as Interim Pastor for the next few weeks. We are looking forward to getting to know you. We just ask that you be patient with us, our memory is not as good as it used to be in remembering names. But the best thing about getting older is, you can hide your own Easter eggs! We are here to serve you in any way that we can. Feel free to give us a call. Our prayers are with you in your search for your new Pastor and the future of this church. I am excited about what God is going to do here at DFC.

“My House Will Be Called A House Of Prayer” Isaiah 56:7 Thank the Lord for what He has planned for this year. “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives, and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor…” Isaiah 61:1-2
