Spinning News
Back in February, on my first Sunday as your interim pastor, I shared a scripture from Joshua 3:4: “For you have not passed this way before.“ Certainly, that truth can apply to our church because as a body of believers, all of you have had to do things that you never had to do before possibly. You have had to take a journey together.
You all have done a wonderful job,
you have been loving and patient, and possibly you may be arriving at your new destination soon.
Doing a little homework about the pilgrims reminds me of being in grade school and learning of their journey to the
New World.
In 1620, 139 people boarded the Mayflower, which was only 100 feet long and 24 feet wide. The voyage took them two months, and they traveled 3000 miles into the Westerly wind. They averaged 2 mph, and you know, the rest of the story, it was cramped and cold, and sometimes the food was not adequate, and many died on the trip. Yet they made their pilgrimage
(a spiritual journey into the unknown). The first thing they did when they landed in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, was to kneel on the ground of the New World and thank God for their journey.
You all have been on a pilgrimage of sorts, and you’ve done remarkably well. Let’s keep praying that the church and the pastoral candidate sense the leadership of the Holy Spirit, that possibly a great work will be completed.

AWANA MINUTE
We are off to an exciting start at Awana club. It’s not too late for kids to join AWANA for this club year. Awana is for children age 2 – 12th grade. We meet on Wednesday nights from 6:05 – 7:30 PM. It’s a fun time! Don’t miss the fun!
Wow, November is already here, and the trees are looking fabulous with their fall colors as they color the ground with their leaves! Our club is buzzing on Wednesday evenings with learning, laughter, singing, and more! As we head into the season of Thanksgiving, we want to express our heartfelt thanks to all who make Awana possible through prayer, encouragement, and a helping hand each week!
October was a busy month in the life of our club. October 15, Clubbers and leaders came to Club wearing all sorts of hats to Club for Hat Night. The 22nd kicked off our pantry nights as clubbers are starting to bring in nonperishable food items to help restock our church’s food pantry for the holidays. Our theme night was crazy hair night. It was a hit! Clubbers and leaders showed off their wildest, wackiest hairstyles—bright colors, fun wigs, and lots of laughs! Thanks to everyone who joined the fun and made this AWANA night extra special!
The 29th was Fall Fun Night. We also enjoyed parties, fun, and food for
Fall Fun Night.
November will focus on giving. Clubbers can fill shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child, and continue bringing in non-perishable food items to give love and food to the needy in our Church, neighborhood, and community for the holidays.
There will be NO club on Wednesday, November 26, a time that we should all slow down and celebrate with our family and loved ones. Club will resume on Wednesday, December 3, where we will also open the 1st Awana store of the year for clubbers to get their “Shop On”!
We are grateful that our church supports Awana, as we can see God working in clubbers and leaders'/volunteers’ lives. Thank you to all who help clubbers learn God’s word, so they can hide it in their hearts and apply it to their daily lives!
We ask that you continue to partner with us by praying for everyone involved in Club, and that we’ll reach clubbers and their families through the teaching and memorization of God's Word, and for future clubbers.
Thank you for your continued support in this ministry!
Because Kids matter to God!

Illuminate Your Calling
We believe God places a unique calling on each child's life.
DC's commitment to academic excellence and Biblical truth fosters an environment in which each student's calling can be heard and followed.
We help students discover their God-given calling in life and determine an academic path to help foster it. This mission plays out in our kindergarten and preschool wing where teachers develop students' skills all the way up to high school where academic advising is individualized, guiding students in classes and opportunities that match their goals and career choices.
PURPOSE
Joining families in the battle to prepare students to stand for Christ.
MISSION STATEMENT
Dayton Christian School inspires students to discover their God-given potential, become life-long learners, and stand on God’s absolute truth.
VISION STATEMENT
To be the school of choice for Christian families in Southwest Ohio.
CORE VALUES
God USES DCS as a Christ-centered school:
Unity – Oneness in the Body of Christ (Eph 4:1-6 and John 17:20-23)
Scripture – Authority of God’s Word (2 Tim 3:16-17)
Excellence – Quest for Excellence in All Things (Col 3:23; Phil 4:8)
Service – Compassion and Outreach (Matt 25:35; 1 John 3:16-17)
