Collection for Tornado Damage Relief

Over the next few Sundays Dido we will collect funds to go to the people of the Bridgeport area, Springtown, and Mineral Wells who experienced the devastating tornadoes recently. The funds will be given to the Horizon United Methodist Conference who will in turn support disaster relief in those areas through giving to the local United Methodist Churches and disaster relief groups serving those areas.

When you go to the grocery store this month, please think of those who are in need and put a few items in your cart. If you happen to purchase too many of another item we welcome whatever you can give. Thank you ahead of time for all you do to help our community!

Thank You for the kindness, compassion, and support shown during this time of loss. Your thoughtful messages, cards, prayers, flowers, and comforting presence have meant more to me than words can express.

Each gesture of sympathy has brought strength and reassurance, reminding me that I have been surrounded by my caring and loving Dido family.

As we remember Mike Todd's life, I am deeply grateful for everyone who shared in honoring his memory and celebrating the moments that made him so very special.

Your support has helped me through this difficult time and will remain in my heart always.

With sincere appreciation and gratitude,

Belynda Cantrell

New Sermon Series

Resurrection People

April 12 - May 17

What comes after Easter?

Too often, the resurrection is something we celebrate for a day—but the first followers of Jesus discovered it was something to live for a lifetime. In Resurrection People, we’ll journey through the weeks after Easter, walking alongside those who encountered the risen Christ in real, personal, and life-changing ways.

Easter was never meant to be the finish line—it’s the starting point. Join us as we learn what it means not just to believe in the resurrection, but to live as Resurrection People.

Dido's New Growth Group

Dido has formed a group who are in the beginnings of discussing how we, as a church, can better lean into Jesus' mandate for us to bring others alongside ourselves as students of Christ. Some of the items being discussed are:

• Utilizing the parsonage sale proceeds
• Improving Dido's digital curb appeal
• Improving Dido's physical curb appeal
• Improving Dido's community outreach

We are currently in a study phase where we are discussing the church and community needs. We will continue to keep you informed of our progress and findings.
