Upcoming SNA’s: • • If you were there, you were part of a great first night of Pro-Deo groups! Not only do we have excellent teens involved already, but our leaders are on top of their game. Trust me when I say you will want to be a part of this ministry. Be sure to check the list below to determine what group you need to attend. We have some great curriculum, leaders, and food this year! Come on out this Wednesday. • • • • Jr. High Group (all 7th and 8th Graders) will be meeting in the Rest Room (the room with the couches) next to the Youth Room from 7:00 8:00 pm. If you want to show up around 6:30, the leaders will be in the gym to hang out with you. Midlothian/Cedar Hill/DeSoto/ Red Oak High School group will be meeting at the home of Steve & Cindy Easley (1120 N. Cedar Hill Road, Cedar Hill) and will begin at 7:00 pm and end between 8:15 8:30 pm. Duncanville High School group will be meeting at the home of Brent & Lucia Bevers (215 N. Capri St., Duncanville) beginning at 7:00 pm and end between 8:15 8:30 pm. DON’T FORGET, that on the last Wednesday of the month, we WILL NOT HAVE PRO-DEO GROUPS. Instead, we will have a Pancake Outreach Service in the Youth Room for all teenagers. Oct. 22: Groups meet in homes Oct. 29: No Pro-Deo groups. Pancake Outreach Event in Youth Room from 6:30 - 8:10 pm. All teens invited! • October 19: Movie Night with Nathan & Kim from 5 - 8 pm. October 26: House of Prayer Event from 4 - 8 pm. Events will include prayer room, group prayer room, Bible reading, and then sharing experienced at “HeBrews”. November 2: No SNA due to BKU Night. Movie Night with Nathan & Kim RETURNS! Iron Man will be playing at a screen near you today starting promptly at 5 pm. In fact, it will be playing at the infamous Rest Room movie screen upstairs in the Youth Room that renowned critic, Kim Tucker, exclaimed as, “nothing beats relaxing in the tub with the latest movie, some popcorn and all your friends – it’s the latest experience that everyone must try!” One thing to remember…NO DINNER will be served. Instead, GUYS are in charge of bringing drinks and GIRLS are in charge of bringing snacks. So invite your friends and come pull up a tub, couch, toilet, or the old school floor and enjoy Iron Man tonight! HOUSE OF PRAYER After the blessings from this summer with the House of Prayer, we want to open up the Youth Room on Sunday, October 26 from 4 – 8 pm for a mini House of Prayer. We will have a prayer room in the main Youth Room with live feed from IHOP, as well as using the Rest Room as a Bible Reading area. In addition, there will be an open classroom for people to pray in groups over one another and the last hour the “HeBrews” coffee shop will be open to have a reflection/sharing experience over one’s time with God. Though this is a teen event, we encourage anyone of any age to come and share in this experience and invite friends. This would be a great time to spend in prayer over next summer’s House of Prayer and your role in it since we will be needing teens to start planning it soon, as well as adults to help out. Start praying now for the mini House of Prayer and other Houses of Prayer to come! Tucker Thoughts... Fall is filled with activities and events, so let us know what, when, and where they are because we want to come and support you! It doesn’t matter if it’s school or job related, a sports game or chess championship, role in a play or dressing up as a turkey for a store’s Thanksgiving sale – we want to know them all! I’ve already had the privilege of hearing Kathryn Dunn’s powerful and beautiful solo in Duncanville’s marching show, as well as guessing which of the disciplined marchers are Joseph Easley, Cassie Gray, Al-Vincent Joubert, Brian Kelton, and well, Brennan Utley with his snare is easy to pick out! And there’s always Emily Bevers doing an awesome job cheering and encouraging school spirit at every Duncanville game! I think Emily should come up with a youth group cheer…just a thought! Though, I haven’t gotten to go, Scott came back exclaiming the fun he had watching Austin Meter at the Red Oak football games. And Tuesday night I got to enjoy the phenomenal job David Vehon does with the Midlothian choir concert. I encourage anyone, even if you do not live in Midlothian, to come to one because they are always fun and impressive. And we have some outstanding singers in them, such as Mckenzie Casada, Nicole Simpson, and Sarah Sullivan. They did such a amazing job Tuesday night! Some upcoming events that are around the corner are: Friday, Oct. 24, 7:30 pm: ● Duncanville vs South Grand Prairie (Zane’s school!!!) football game in Duncanville ● Midlothian Homecoming game vs. University in Midlothian Saturday, Oct. 25: UIL Area Marching Band Contest in Mesquite Sunday, Oct. 26 & Tuesday, Oct. 28: Midlothian HS play “Harvey” with Ashley Branham Friday, Oct. 31: ● Cedar Hill homecoming game vs Irving in Cedar Hill ● Midlothian vs Ennis football game in Midlothian Good morning and welcome! We are pleased to have you join in the public assembly this morning. Though this brief time together does not define us as a congregation, it is still an important part of what we do and who we are. We are simply a local gathering of God’s people dedicated to the mission of “Knowing God; Growing in faith; Serving one another; and Sharing Jesus as Lord.” We are undenominational and multicultural. All who name Jesus as Lord are invited to share in the Lord’s Supper. Guests, please feel no obligation to participate in our weekly collection. We don’t want your money; we’re just honored to have you in the house. Please stay and have lunch with us in the Fellowship Center...We have two assemblies every Sunday morning. The early service is always an hour and five minutes, while the second assembly is longer. If you like precision, we invite you to worship with us at 8:30…Please bring your candy the next two weeks to give away at our annual Fall Festival, Oct. 31. We will have hundreds and hundreds of kids on the grounds. It’s big fun for everyone, and a pleasant alternative to much of the Halloween insanity that hallmarks the day…We need a videographer. If you have interest and skill, please let me know. We have a wonderful new camera; we just need an operator…The ministry team, complete with elders, gathered together twice in the last ten days to plan and budget for 2009. Ministry leaders, please be giving immediate attention to your budgets for next year. We will try to resource you properly. None of us are foolish enough to predict the coming economy, but we are strategizing in a flexible manner...Scott has been to Chicago this week for a lengthy seminar concerning Small Groups. He and Kim will be good leaders for our Life Groups. Please support them as Bryan transitions out of the role. Keep looking up—trusting God…Ya’ know I love ya’! ~Ron SERVING TOGETHER...CHURCH & FAMILY LIFE NEWS It is such a privilege to serve and minister with such a grace-filled church. I hear comments weekly from folks in our community about how the Lord is working in your lives and the testimony that it is to others. Duncanville Church of Christ is truly becoming known as a place of grace — “The GracePlace.” What a fine description of who we are at the Duncanville Church of Christ. Our community has taken notice! Praise God! Keep praying, keep serving, and keep sharing! Because of our graciousness to our community there are always opportunities to serve in the kingdom. Some opportunities hide behind the scenes — tending to a flower bed, making sure our emergency response equipment is charged, cutting out class material, or visiting a shut-in. Others are very public — coordinating a community outreach event, teaching a class, leading a Life Group, or serving as a greeter. Some of you have God-given talents that you would like to share — please do. We will graciously accept your sacrifice of service and love. A very special thanks to the scores of people who share acts of service each and every week, week in and week out — as a celebration of the grace given to them. Isn’t it great to have an opportunity to serve out of gratitude and love? Isn’t it great to have a gracious place from which to serve? Let me encourage you to seek the Lord’s guidance to lead you to that very special place of service that He has prepared for you. The Duncanville Church of Christ—The Grace Place! ~Hugs, Jeff MINISTRY HIGHLIGHTS: OFFICE MINISTRY TEAM Just a few things to keep you up to date with what’s happening here in the office! 2008 HOLIDAY SCHEDULE The office will be closed for the holidays on the following dates: Thanksgiving November 27 - 28 Christmas December 24 - 26 The office will be open for regular hours on New Year’s Eve day (Dec. 31).

ACTIVIDAD DEL 31 DE OCTUBRE ASUNTOS EN LA ADORACION Nuestro hermano Gustavo Lomeli compartió con la congregación el domingo pasado sobre la idea de preparar vasitos con dulces con el logo tipo de la iglesia, para luego distribuirlos en la actividad que tendremos el 31 de este mes. A todos nos pareció excelente la idea y haremos los preparativos necesarios. A medida que nuestro hermano nos brinde más información sobre los preparativos que él necesita hacer, los daremos a conocer a la congregación. Al respecto, se pide que las familias de esta iglesia hagan donativos de dulces y pasteles para luego darlos gratis a nuestra comunidad en ese dia. Se encuentran depósitos en las entradas a nuestro edificio por si gustan colaborar y contribuir a este esfuerzo. Recuerden que habrá una diversidad de actividades para niños con distintos puestos y juegos para los ellos y toda la familia. Últimamente han notado la incorporación de cantos bilingües en la adoración por la mañana. Es algo intencional que hemos decido hacer para mejor incorporar la participación de nuestros niños. Nosotros como adultos conocemos los cantos al entonarlos en nuestra idioma, pero como los niños entienden poco español (o por lo menos se les dificulta leerlo), hemos decido buscar la formar de mejor incorporar su participación. Y un buen principio para ayudarles con esto es cantando los himnos y cantos en ambos idiomas. A nuestro hermano Jerry Gonzalez, le damos las gracias por los talentos que Dios le dado y por las muchas forma en que el su familia apoyan a esta iglesia. También, le he pedido a nuestro hermano Gustavo Lomeli que tome el cargo de asignar a los hermanos para servir la cena del Señor. Lo cual acepto con todo gusto y nos informo de sus planes de organizar una lista para estar al pendiente de quienes servirán cada domingo. También, a nuestro hermano agradecemos en unión con toda su familia, todo lo que ellos hacen al servir a esta congregación. Dios los bendiga a todos. DOS REUNIONES DE VARONES Se han programado dos reuniones para varones, uno en octubre y otra en noviembre. La primera reunión aplica únicamente a los varones del grupo hispano, mientras que la segunda reunión es para los varones de toda la iglesia, y se lleva a cabo en ingles. La primer reunión se ha programado por el hermano Mario Sotelo para el 25 de octubre por la mañana de 8:00 – 9:30 am., donde solo los varones de grupo hispano se les invita a participar de un desayuno, seguido por un tiempo de oración con la posibilidad en el futuro de incorporar sesiones de liderazgo presentadas por nuestro hermano Gustavo Lomeli. La segunda reunión para varones consiste de nuestra reunión anual donde todos los varones de todos los ministerios de esta iglesia son invitados para participar de una comida seguida con un tiempo de oración. Esta segunda reunión, se ha programado para el lunes, 3 de noviembre. CAMPAMENTO DE FAMILIAS Habrá un campamento para familias en el lago de Texoma, los días 14 al 17 de noviembre. Si familias se interesan participar de las actividades necesitan comunicarse con nuestra hermana Becky Cotton para hacer sus reservaciones, 214-402-9170. CAMBIO DE HORA De ante mano deseamos recordarles a todos sobre el cambio de hora que se hará el 2 de noviembre. En ese día todos los relojes se atrasan una hora, ejemplo de 1:00 am se atrasa a 12:00 am. Realmente el cambio se efectúa la noche del sábado para luego estar preparados con el cambio de tiempo en pie para el domingo. El cambio de hora significa que ganamos una hora. Esperamos todos estén al pendiente del cambio y hagamos los ajustes necesarios.
