Easter Sunday Bulletin





Welcome to Deltona Christian Church!   Today we celebrate that though Death held Jesus, our Lord, in its grips, the chains that held him have been  broken.  He has risen!  We share with all creation in shouting joyfully that He Lives. Our Creator God does not let death be the final message, but is the author of life eternal!
