Sunday, October 11th is Consecration Sunday - we consecrate our commitments to DUMC for 2016. To consecrate is to devote, to dedicate, to ordain. Let us renew our commitment to be the hands and heart of Jesus in our community, and celebrate that commitment with one another. Pledge cards will be available in your bulletin, or if you would like to fill it out before you come to service, you can find it here. Fellowship will be a full brunch.
