Church Calendar

You can see all the events, programs, meetings, and everything that’s going on at Deerhurst by visiting our Church Calendar. There are two ways to view the calendar.

• Visit our website at www.deerhurstchurch.org and look for Church Calendar near the top right of the page. If you don’t see it click on More and select it from the list.

• Sign in to Breeze and go to Events. The calendar for the current month will open. In the column to the left of the calendar, you’ll see a list showing what the different colors mean. You’ll see some of them have check marks next to them. If there’s a check mark, you’ll see it on the calendar. If it’s unchecked it won’t appear on the calendar. You can check or uncheck each one. Try it and see.

• If you have any suggestions or questions, give me a call at the church office or send me an email at deerhurstoffice@gmaill.com   - Jim

Don’t forget to bring in [or send in] your Dash's register receipts

Elizabeth circle uses the proceeds from collecting the receipts to help fund Youth ministries within the church.  Many Deerhurst high school seniors have benefitted from this collection. It's the primary source of income for the Scholarship Fund.  If you have any questions, contact Karen Friend or the church office.
