Missions Sunday - October 11
We are looking forward to our special annual Missions Sunday at DVCC! This year's focus will be on our local mission outreaches, including Fair Acres, Penn State Brandywine, Blessing Bags for the Homeless, and Great Faith Vision local eye clinics. Representatives from each ministry will participate in a panel discussion during the worship service. After the service we will have a special luncheon together with food brought in by the congregation. You can sign up here to bring something to the luncheon.
Morning of Service - October 10
Our Fall Morning of Service is scheduled for October 10th beginning at 8:00AM until 12PM. We will have a variety of outdoor work, please bring gloves if you have them. We also need people to clean windows, inside and out. Lunch will be provided. PSU Brandywine Men's Basketball team is scheduled to help so come out and get to meet them.
Operation Christmas Child
Throughout the month of October we will be collecting items to fill our shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. Our outreach leaders had an opportunity to attend a workshop and came back encouraged and full of ideas! The first and most important, is that we need to pray, pray, pray! Pray for the children that will receive the boxes. Pray as you are choosing the items to fill them with. God knows who is getting your box, and what they need. Additionally, It was stated that the group that receives the lowest number of boxes is the oldest age range, so as a church that is what we want to focus on. Suggested items for collection:
-
Deflated soccer balls with pump
-
Hand crank flashlights
-
Tool Sets
-
Plain Canvas bags
-
Flip Flops (Many children have no shoes)
-
Hygiene Items (Bulk deals on Amazon)

Mats of Love
Mats of love are sleeping mats: large enough to sleep on, soft, and water resistant. They are made from those plastic bags we all have stashed at home. It takes 700 bags to make one mat. Bags are cut and rolled into balls, “Plarn” and crocheted into mats.
We need you to bring in your plastic bags: the ones from the grocery store, no torn ones.
Please place in the collection box in the foyer.
We are also looking for people that know how to crochet. If that's you, please email info@visitdvcc.org.
