The Easter Experience @ DFA

Sunday April 4th @ 10 AM

Our focus for the year is Life-Change!  We are challenging everyone to "Get Off the Spiritual Couch" and either crawl, walk, or run with God.  We don't care which one you choose, just get up and get moving! It all starts with the basics - reading God's Word, and Prayer.  Listen in to our audio downloads for more details, keyword "Life-Change".

We are providing opportunities and encouragement throughout the year to help in our life-change effort. Here are some of those things... 

• Take the Spiritual Health Assessment tool and investigate you own spiritual state.  Use this guide as a way of deciding new goals you can set for 2010.
• Life Groups for Life Change - Our February through April Life Groups will have multiple LG's focusing on our life-change efforts.  Sign up for one of thes groups and be encouraged by other's taking the same journey as you.
• In our Life Change Manual we have tools and resources for prayer/fasting and reading the Bible.  Our first quarter goals for reading the Bible - Crawl - be in the book of John reading each week.  Walk - read 1-2 chapters a week in the book of John and you will be through the entire book by Easter.  Run - read 1 chapter a day and you can read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John by Easter.  Marathon - Read 4 chapters a day and you can read the Bible in a year. 
• Testimonies/Share your story - a big part of encouragement this year is hearing each other's testimonies.  We don't thank God enough, and we don't share our stories, so each quarter we will have a celebration service to do just that.  
• In the far left of your screen is a Life-Change button, this has more detailed information on the above ideas.
