Dear DCC,
I just wanted to write the church and thank all of you guys for the care packages you sent to the troops. I received packages throughout my tour in Iraq and it was definitely a boost to morale for me and my buddies who I shared some of the packages with. I’ve been back for 7 months now, but still received a package about a week ago. I just think it’s cool that you guys are still looking out for us. I’ll be deploying Afghanistan next February so keep me and my boys in your prayers. Most importantly pray for an end to the war.

CIA Fall Retreat Plan now for the CIA Fall Retreat at Twin Rocks Conference Center, Rockaway Beach, September 5-7. Guest speaker will be Dr. James De Young on “Universalism in Contemporary Fiction: What’s the Danger?” Cost: $170.00 per person.

Baptism When Jesus commissioned His disciples to carry on the work He began, He called them to make more disciples who would follow Him. They were to be identified in a particular way - through baptism. The practice of baptism has been a rite by which followers publicly declare their decision to follow Jesus, and unite with others in the community of believers, since the first preaching of the gospel. If you would like to learn more about baptism, or are interested in being baptized, please contact Pastor Steve (Steve Hardy ~ at ~ damascuscc ~ dot ~ org).
