Dear Church Family & Friends,
I am overwhelmed by the goodness of God. Just this past Sunday we saw 3 more people invite Jesus Christ to be their Forgiver & Leader here at The Dialogue Church! That never gets old! WOW! So grateful that God’s annointing is on this ministry! In the past 22 months we’ve seen 221 precious souls invite Jesus Christ to be their Forgiver & Leader at TheDC.tv! In that same time frame we have led 69 of those new believers to obey Jesus in the step of baptism! And our average attendance doubled in just one year! Glory to God! Awesome! And we are only getting started! The Best is yet to come!

2011 was a record year for The Dialogue Church in every category! But I believe 2012 is going to dwarf those milestones! I believe God is going to more than double the life change in this church! Soon we will see dozens accepting Christ as their Lord & Savior every single week at TheDC. Who wants to see that?!

We have some incredible opportunities for the WHOLE FAMILY to get connected this weekend at The Dialogue Church:

MEN’S BREAKFAST | Saturday, Feb.4th at 9am. (dcManchester Campus – 516 Pine Street)
Get to know the men of TheDC and feed on some incredible food made by our very own professional Chef, Joshua Mimms! You will not be disappointed;-) Then we will hear some great life change stories and testimonies from two of our dcMen and then I will close it out with a hope-filled message just for men! The cost is free, but there will be donations accepted. Get ready! If you have questions please email men@thedc.tv. Please RSVP to our Facebook Event at www.thedc.tv/facebook.

CLEANING DAY | Saturday, Feb.4th 11am-3pm (dcManchester Campus – 516 Pine Street)

SUPER BOWL PARTY | Sunday, Feb.5th at 6pm (dcManchester Campus – 516 Pine Street)

We will be having a chili, chowder, and soup contest, fun give aways, and child appropriate activities. Please, bring a dish and a dessert to share. There will be no supervised childcare, but there will be some fun games for the children to play.

LIFE GROUPS SPRING SEMESTER | Begins Feb.12th
Join a life group and start growing in your faith with God’s family! The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. It was meant to be lived in community with other believers. Don’t be a spiritual orphan. Help us develop new believers in their faith! Get Connected at The Dialogue Church, join a life group. For more info or to sign up online go to www.thedc.tv/groups.

3:10 CHALLENGE | Trust God Today
A Tithe literally means “tenth”. Tithing is really about trusting. God is not after our wallet, He’s after what’s attached to our wallet – our worship! Tithing is God’s training tool to teach us always to fear the Lord our God (Deut.6). At The Dialogue Church, the mission of Jesus is fueled by the faithful tithes & offerings of our regular attenders and members. Are you tithing? Learn more at www.thedc.tv/310.

Are you looking for more practical help with your finances? Are you looking for a real plan to help you get out of debt and experience real peace in your pocketbook? Then sign up for this new life group, “Managing Your Finances God’s Way” with me and my assistant Nancy Rayna. If you have questions email Nancy@thedc.tv or to sign up online go to www.thedc.tv/groups.

NEW BELIEVER’S CLASS | Feb.13th, Mondays at 7pm (dcMancester Campus – 516 Pine Street)
Are you a new believer? Have you recently invited Jesus to be your Forgiver & Leader? Then we have a class that is just right for you! Sign up for the New Believer’s Class and learn the basics of following Jesus: salvation, baptism, bible study & prayer, giving, and sharing Christ with others! Seriously, this is the best class/group for any new believer at The Dialogue Church! Sign up today at www.thedc.tv/groups. If you have questions email Kiri@thedc.tv.

Our qualified student ministry team is prepared to love on your teenagers and help them follow Jesus and apply God’s Word to their own lives in ways that are relevant to teen issues. Encourage your teenager to become a part of our dcStudent Ministry! You and your teen won’t regret it! For more info email students@thedc.tv or sign up today at www.thedc.tv/groups.

See you this weekend, Church! I love you and I am so proud of you! You are changing New England with the love & truth of Jesus Christ!

PS: ONE MORE THING, A HUGE BLESSING - Granite United Church partnered with Bethany Church to give The Dialogue Church 450 padded pew chairs to use at our new dcManchester Campus! WOW! That is the favor of God! Don’t doubt for a second that God is going to use you and this church to reach tens of thousands of unchurched people with the Good News of Jesus Christ! Share some love on Granite United’s Facebook Page!

Sincerely,

Pastor Steve

RECORD BREAKING ATTENDANCE ON CHRISTMAS EVE 2011
I’m blown away at all that God accomplished on Christmas Eve at The Dialogue Church. We had record breaking attendance with 200 people gathered in the largest theater at the Cinemagic & IMAX Theater. I’m so proud of our church, way to invite your friends and family to find hope in Christ! And best of all, we were able to partner with God in leading 10 precious souls to invite Jesus Christ to be their Forgiver & Leader! Soon we will see 10 salvations every week, and then 100 salvations every week! It’s not a matter of if, but a matter of when!

If you missed Christmas Eve at TheDC you can still listen online at www.thedc.tv/listen. Try sharing it with a friend!

BACKPACK BLESSINGS | THANK YOU
Through your generosity we were able to bless 146 people/families across 5 different local shelters with backpacks stuffed full of life essentials and an invite to church along with a special shuttle bus pick up outside of their location. We are working on more ways to bless the under resourced in 2012! We are called to proclaim the good news to the lost, the poor, and the hurting; YOU are making that happen! I see the day when we will have our own COMPASSION Ministries Center feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and housing the homeless along with feeding them the Bread of Life, Jesus Christ!

BAPTISM PARTY COMING UP | February 19th
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward change. Once you invite Jesus Christ to be your Forgiver & Leader, your next step is water baptism. This spiritual step illustrates your old life being buried in death (as you go under the water) and your new life being raised in Christ (as you come up out of the water)! In the past 21 months we’ve seen 69 new believers obey Jesus in the step of baptism; I can see the day when we will be baptizing 69 believers every week! Sign up today online at www.thedc.tv/baptism or on your Connection Card this Sunday. For more info stop by Guest Services or email our baptism team.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
2012 will be your best year yet! I also believe that 2012 will be our best year yet as a church! We are working hard behind the scenes to put together the plan for our building renovations. I believe God will provide more than enough resources to start and complete the renovations on our new Dialogue Church Manchester Campus! More info will be coming at the end of January.

CHRISTMAS OFFERING 2011
Thank you so much for giving to this year’s Christmas Offering. We were able to give to Jesus double our weekly offering! Through your generosity we completed the BackPack Blessings Project and fully funded our Christmas Outreach Campaign which included a new billboard, thousands of mailer invites, invite cards, phone calls, and radio ads! More importantly your generosity partnered with God in leading 10 more precious souls to faith in Jesus Christ on Christmas Eve! And THAT’S JUST THE BEGINNING! We are only 4 years old as a church! The best is yet to come! If you would like to give a special offering visit www.thedc.tv/give.
NEW & IMPROVED GIVING IN 2012
Make 2012 a breakthrough year in your finances! God will bless you in accordance to your faith! For your convenience and to help you stay faithful in your tithes and offerings we have made major improvements to our 4 easy ways to give. For example you can now take your offering envelope home with you, put your gift in it, and then drop it in the mail anytime; the postage is already paid. You can also give via e-check or debit/credit card with the Offering Envelope, online, mobile, or in the mail. And now it’s easier than ever to sign up for automated giving, you can set up recurring gifts via e-check or debit/credit card. For more info or to start giving today visit www.thedc.tv/give or stop by the Giving Kiosk this Sunday.

See you this Sunday, 10am for an amazing day in The House; and bring a friend! They’ll be glad you did!

Sincerely,
