"I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations" (Psalm 89:1-4, KJV).
The Following is Our December PLC Schedule:
  • DECEMBER 14 - Leonard Hatcher, pastor of Oasis Baptist Church in Dallas, will be speaking on community ministry. Pastor Hatcher leads DBA's Poverty Alleviation Team and has served at Oasis Baptist Church for 25 years.
  • DECEMBER 21 - Executive Board Meeting
  • DECEMBER 28 - No Pastors/Leaders Conference - Christmas Holiday Week
Due to the increase of COVID-19 cases in Dallas County, we have decided to not have the “in person” option for our Monday lunch meetings between now and the end of the year. The Pastors/Leaders Conference and the Executive Board meetings will be entirely on Zoom. The meeting time for these Monday meetings during Nov/Dec will move to 11:00 a.m. With our new bylaws, our Executive Board can conduct our business electronically.
