Hanging of the Greens

Sunday, November 30 During Worship

Come help decorate the sanctuary for Christmas as we also learn the meaning of those decorations.

This Sunday, after worship, please stick around and help us get ready for this exciting worship service!

Christmas Offering

Each year we ask the congregation to give over and above their regular offering as an end of the year Christmas offering to the church. This year, not only will your gifts go to the many ways our church serves our community and to the operating expenses of the church, it will also make a difference around the world as it will go toward Christmas gifts and Christmas food for our sister congregation in Yaukani, Nigeria and to the new congregation recently formed. Last year your gifts bought the children cookies, candy, balls, and toys. They loved it! Help Dido continue to be a Light to our community and world!

The Church will Display Poinsettias in Honor or Memory of Someone You Care About - $15

If you are interested in purchasing a poinsettia please fill out the information in the pew in front of you and place it in the offering along with your $15 or:

1. Let the church know by email (didoumchurch@gmail.com) for whom you wish them to be in memory or honor of.
2. Send $15 to the church via the Venmo app, online at www.didoumc.com/give through Paypal, or through Zelle to 817 236-2122, or send your check to the church. Please indicate "poinsettias" with your giving.

Zoom Bible Study Every Wednesday @ 11AM



Join us as we begin a new Bible study based on When Christians Get It Wrong by Adam Hamilton: People frustrated by Christianity often name certain attitudes and behaviors they believe are practiced too often by Christians: judging others, condemning people of other faiths, rejecting science, injecting politics into faith, and being anti-homosexual. With his familiar style, Adam Hamilton tackles these issues and addresses the how’s and why’s of Christians getting it right when it comes to being Christ in the world.

Please purchase your $10 copy (made out to Dido) from Pastor Jana.

As you may be aware, millions of people in the state of Texas and thousands within our community will be without the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) beginning November 1. Eagle Mountain ISD along with Community Link have asked those who are able to step up and help. Pastor Jana is asking each family to give 10 items of any kind to our monthly collection for Community Link. The goal is to collect more than we ever have so we can care for as many families as possible. When you go to the grocery store this month, please think of the many individuals who will be hungry and in need without the help of SNAP. Thank you ahead of time for all you do to help our community!
