Someone, somewhere, sometime said (speaking of individuals) that "Change is inevitable, growth is intentional." That phrase strikes home for DFC today in many ways. It's also appropriate that today we will be talking about what it means to continue to know progress in our spiritual lives. Do we continue to grow or do we stagnate? Yes, I believe that no matter our station along the spiritual journey, we still have room to grow. As a church we must have a system, a structure, to help each other in that journey, in that process of growing. Last Sunday, Cindy Johnson spent the Sunday School hour teaching a membership class in “The Refuge” FirstClass. Let me introduce you to 10 of our newest members. If you see them, welcome them as they have become part of the DFC family. Carol Anderson Ben Foster Erik Johnson Sean Watson
