Welcome to Deltona Christian Church! This is heritage month. Our founders set out to return the Church to Oneness under God. As we study and worship let us open ourselves to unity, which is our polar star.

One: When forces in the world threaten us,

One: One who heals us,
Many: whose Love washes over us and sets us free joy.
One: This One is the Lord.
Many : Come, Let us worship God.

Blessing of Men John Hamilton and Pastor Susanna
Blessing for Men
For our fathers, who have given us life and love,
That we may show them respect and love
We pray to the Lord
For fathers who have lost a child through death,
That their faith may give them hope,
And their family and friends support and console them,
We pray to the Lord,
For men, who though they have no children of their own,
have nurtured and have supported us.
Building the body of Christ,
We pray to the Lord.
For men who have not been able to be a source of strength,
who have been absent from their children,
Who have not brought warmth and care to family life,
We pray to the Lord.
God, who is our parent, who in wisdom and love made all things,
Bless these men, that they may be strengthened,
that their witness of faith and love might shine forth
And that we may honor them with love and respect.
Grant that our men be fathers of our Faith in your mercy, oh Lord, our strength and redeemer.
