Brian Haymes at DBC this Sunday
Brian Haymes will lead worship and preach at DBC on Sunday. In Young Church the children are using Scripture Union materials and we are following their themes in the main service. On Sunday we will consider Jesus in his glory. Brian will preach on the transfiguration of Jesus and will base his thoughts on the biblical texts: Matthew 17.1-9 and Colossians 1.15-20. We start at 10.30 a.m. and Communion will be celebrated. We use gluten-free bread and non-alcoholic wine. Come and worship with us if you can. All are welcome and if you are visiting for the first time, we would be delighted to meet you.

Second Sunday
It’s Second Sunday this week
Join us for worship, learning and lunch
We change our programme a little every second Sunday of the month at DBC. We start as usual at 10.30am with worship but our service is shorter and is for all ages. Creche space is available but we invite the children and young people to stay in with us. Young Church happens later, at 11.45, after a coffee break. The adults and young people also meet together at this time for a teaching and learning session. This week we will be discussing Christ and other faiths. After that we have a bring-and-share lunch. So the schedule this Sunday will be:
10.30 all age worship
11.15 tea and coffee
11.45 teaching and learning session and Young Church
12.30 bring-and-share lunch
Please feel free to join us for any or all these activities.
