I had the privilege of growing up in middle America. Those early
days in Eastern Kansas with my family were the wonder years;
playing sports and enjoying the fellowship of my family. I still
remember those days with joy.
Things began to change for my family during the late 70’s . My
family began to experience division that eventually led to my
mother and father divorcing. I can tell you how painful those days
were for my entire family. We still carry those scars today!
Jesus Christ’s church is a family. We love the song that says ‘I’m
so glad I’m a part of the family of God.’ The reality is that some-
times even in the family of God we experience division and pain
and hurt. I recognize that even at the great DFC there have been
struggles that the DFC family has experienced. Because we are
human, the family of God will experience the enemy’s attack.
Today as we continue in our ‘Foundations of Faith’ series we will
be speaking about how the church functioned in those early days.
Do we expect it to be just like it was then? No, it can’t be the way it
was. Our society is so different, but we can maintain God’s
intention of what the church should look and act like!
I am so glad you are here!
Amazed by His Grace!
Pastor Shawn Siegfreid

Thank You!
Rosalee and I would like to thank everyone for their prayers and visits
during my time in the hospital. God was ever-present throughout my
stroke and provided Rosalee and me the opportunity to share with the
nurses and others in the hospital. Your outpouring of love and support
was very important to us. We are now settled in Edmond, OK and are
anxious to see what God is going to provide for us here. May God
richly bless each of you and the church as you venture forward with
Pastor Shawn. We will be praying for you. Dave & Rosalee Lister
