Bulletin Easter Sunday 2016



Welcome to Deltona Christian Church! This is a place of welcome for all people.  Children are welcome to stay in worship or go to the nursery (ages 0-5) or leave after the children’s moment for a time of education (elementary age).  Today we celebrate Jesus     victory over death.  Happy Easter!  Please center yourselves in a spirit of joyous worship.  The only thing that needs to be silenced here is your cell phone.
