We look forward to seeing you there.

Prayer update…

Michael McAtee is doing great.  He will be having 6 weeks of radiation treatment and will have a spinal tap next week to determine if any chemo is necessary.  I don’t think he will.  Thanks for your prayers.

Chris Long’s dad is still in the hospital.  His heart stopped for 11 seconds this morning, so they put a pacemaker / defibrillatorin today.  Please be praying for his heart to strengthen and get back to  a normal rhythm so they can treat his liver damage and kidney stone.

Continue to pray for Karen Terry’s son Michael, who has blood clots in his lungs.  He is still undergoing treatment.

I know I am probably missing something, but it is late.

Prayer note…

Please remember Alan and Debbie Perry in your prayers.  Debbie’s mother went to be with the Lord this past weekend.  If you are willing to help with a meal for their family, please call the church office.

Prayer Update…

Michael McAtee came through surgery  on Friday well.  I have not heard the results from his post-op scan, but will keep you informed.  Continue to pray for him and his family.

Chris’s dad is not yet out of the woods.  Today his fever was down but his white blood cell count was up.  Possibly due to continued infection somewhere.  Pray for the infection to be gone.

Kristin is still experiencing some contractions.  Continue to pray for her and the baby as well as their family’s provision.

Thank you for all your prayers and support.

Prayer…

PrayerPlease be praying for our ministry staff and their families.  Our Worship minister’s wife, Kristin Williamson is in the hospital in pre-term labor.  They seem to have the contraction under control now.  Pray for their health and that she will not have to be on bed rest.

Our youth minister’s (Chris Long) father went to the hospitol with a kidney stone and infection.  This has caused a fever some heart problems. 

Michael McAtee who had surgery Tuesday a week ago for a brain tumor, will be going back for a second surgery this Friday.  Mike came through the first surgery great.  God is so good.  He answers prayer!

Just Asking…

Amy and I are taking a couple of days over spring break to rest and recover from the weeks leading up to our Easter launch.  Thank you to all of you who put in so many hours with us to make our Church launch a success.  Let keep up the work and the enthusiasm.

Think about who you are bringing to Church this week.  The potential for growth and ministry is amazing.  If everyone invited someone each week we could double in growth every week.  Isn’t that incredible.  So, ask the Lord for who you will bring this week.  The Bible tells us to ask the Lord for the Nations.  What are you asking Him for?  Better yet, what are you waiting for?  See you Sunday…

Transforming Life



"being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit." Ephesians 2:22

The Dwelling Place Community Church was founded on this verse. It embodies the principles that bring real change in life - transforming life. We believe we are being built together. Life was meant to be experienced together, not alone. Relationships are key to growth and transformation. We were created to be a dwelling place for God through Jesus Christ. God's presence in us transforms us. This kind of transforming life is not something we can create and maintain on our own, it is by the power of the Holy Spirit living and working in us. This is The Dwelling Place...
