This blog is designed for all DCEs or DCE types to come and share their joys, frustrations, ideas, etc. Hope that we can all take advantage of this and use it as a great networking place.

Aerial Photo of New Church



On Saturday, May 19, a parishioner took me up in a small plane that he flies quite often, and I took a number of photos of Beautiful Savior's new building. Take a look!

KINDLE is on Facebook

Hey NE DCEs:

There is another on-line DCE community that recently started up. It's KINDLE on Facebook. Get yourself a Facebook account, search for "KINDLE," and browse the site. Lots of goofy pictures (typical of DCEs), but also lots of good ministry-related chatter.

Beautiful Savior's New Building 75% Complete




Hi, DCEs!

Just thought I'd show you all a couple of photos of our new building as it enters its final 25% of completion.

The date tentatively selected for our first worship and dedication in Sunday, September 23.

As of now we haven't sold our current facility, but we're trusting in God to give us an answer soon. Maybe He wants us to lease it out or use it for our own ministry space. Whatever happens, He's in control, and we're in it for a wild ride!
