Sunday, May 5 at the 9:30 & 11:00 Worship Services
Please come to worship on Sunday, May 5 to hear our children sing about the story of Daniel in the Lions' Den (with the Cherubs being the ferocious lions!). You are guaranteed to enjoy this lighthearted but faithful performance of the Biblical story of courage and obedience.
The 42nd Annual Chapel Choir Tour is on its way to New Orleans.

We had the priviledge of hosting the Sonshine Choir from Brentwood (TN) UMC as they performed a wonderful concert on July 14 followed by beautiful anthems at our worship services the next day. They provided a real gift through their music and spirit and our congregation provided them a gift through our generosity of food, lodging, and attendance. The 100 youth were housed by 34 incredible families. Please enjoy some of the pictures from their visit!
Many people have already generously offered to help accommodate students from the 100-strong Sonshine Choir from Brentwood United Methodist Church, TN, who are giving a concert at DGFUMC on July 14. However, we still need a few more families willing to host two or more students on Saturday night after the concert. If you are able to do so, please contact Don Dunham as soon as possible. Thank you!
We know that this is the time of year when everyorganization is asking for donations. Well the DGFUMC college scholarship fund is doing the same thing. What is the scholarship fund and who is helped by it? Three separate funds were started over 20 years ago and those gifts have now been used up, however we continue to want to help college students. In August, we present small gifts to 4 students who have been active in ministries of DGFUMC. If each family would give $5 in honor of each of their children now and $5 on that child’s birthday, we would have thousands of dollars to give out each year. Please consider giving to this fund.
If you would like to apply for a scholarship, please fill out the form below and return it to the church office by July 1.
