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.

Commissioning Youth for Camp and Conference

Commissioning Youth for Camp and Conference

Congregation: We of the congregation want those of you going to camp this summer to grow in yourfaith as Jesus grew in his faith.

Campers: “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and people.”

Congregation: We hope that you will grow in the spirit of God and bear fruit that reflects the kingdom of heaven.

Campers: “The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”

Congregation: We want you to learn the lessons of nature that Jesus taught.

Campers: “Look at the birds of the air, consider the lilies of the field, do not be anxious about your life, but seek first the kingdom of heaven and all will be yours.”

Congregation: We remember the contributions of individuals who make the camp and conference  program possible; the time, the           imagination, and the money that comes from people in this congregation and other congregations around us.

Campers: “I have received full payment from the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.”

Congregation: We hope your experience at camp will go well. Hold us in your prayers as we hold you in our prayers.

Campers: “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, in every prayer of mine for your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.”

Scripture June 5

Scripture Reading Sunday, June 5, 2016 Delores Lester

Our Gospel Lesson comes from Luke 7:11-17

Soon afterwards he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a

large crowd went with him. As he approached the gate of the town, a

man who had died was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son,

and she was a widow; and with her was a large crowd from the town.

When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, “Do

not weep.” Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers

stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, rise!” The dead man

sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. Fear

seized all of them; and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has

risen among us!” and “God has looked favorably on his people!” This

word about him spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding

country.

Our Hebrew Lesson comes from 1 Kings 17:8-16

Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “Go now to Zarephath,

which belongs to Sidon, and live there; for I have commanded a widow

there to feed you.” So he set out and went to Zarephath. When he came

to the gate of the town, a widow was there gathering sticks; he called to

her and said, “Bring me a little water in a vessel, so that I may drink.”

As she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, “Bring me a

morsel of bread in your hand.” But she said, “As the LORD your God

lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of meal in a jar, and a little

oil in a jug; I am now gathering a couple of sticks, so that I may go

home and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and

die.” Elijah said to her, “Do not be afraid; go and do as you have said;

but first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterwards

make something for yourself and your son. For thus says the LORD the

God of Israel: The jar of meal will not be emptied and the jug of oil

will not fail until the day that the LORD sends rain on the earth.” She

went and did as Elijah said, so that she as well as he and her household

ate for many days. The jar of meal was not emptied, neither did the jug

of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD that he spoke by Elijah.

THE WORD OF GOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD!
