WORLD VISION GLOBAL 6K REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
6 Kilometers is the average distance people in the developing world walk for water - water that is often contaminated with life-threatening diseases. On Saturday, May 22, thousands of people from around the globe will walk or run 6K to bring life-changing clean water to communities in need. Each participant's registration fee provides life-changing clean water for one person, so when you participate in the Global 6K, you take that distance away from people in need. This year, there are two ways to participate. You may choose to do the race on your own at the time and location of your choice OR we plan to do it as a group beginning and ending at church (time to be determined). This will be an informal event. Online registration is open through demottearc.com under the "ministries" tab. Race Fee: $50 for adults; $25 for age 17 and under. Once registered, you will receive your race packet in the mail. We hope you will consider joining us to move our feet for clean water!
BIBLE ADVENTURES videos and take-home sheets are available on our website! This gives kids an opportunity to watch the video again at home or see videos they missed! There are printable coloring pages for Pre-K/K and printable Take Home Sheets for 1st – 5th grade. Visit demottearc.com and go to the Children’s Ministry page. There, you will find a link to the content (please note that the content page is password protected; the password is “adventures”. New lessons are posted weekly!

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” You can register online for one of their day or overnight camps at manitoqua.org.

WALK-A-THON 2021: DMCS’ annual Walk-A-Thon is on Friday, May 7 at Field of Dreams Park. We’re so excited to raise money this year to continue building improvements by upgrading the playground areas and repurposing the computer lab into a classroom at DMC! This year has presented a unique set of challenges, but our students and staff have walked through them with faith and perseverance. We are using this year’s Walk-A-Thon to celebrate all that God has seen us through, so we have chosen the theme, “WALK IN FAITH”. Our theme verse II Corinthians 5:7 says, “We walk by faith, not by sight.” We are so grateful for our supporters like you, who have prayerfully helped carry us through this year. Our goal is to raise $18,000. Just contact any DMC student to sponsor them! You may also mail a check to DMC at PO Box 430, DeMotte, IN 46310; or donate online by clicking the “donate” link on our school website: www.demottechristianschools.org.
