Hello DR Summer Childcare Families,

Now that the tornado threat is at a level 3, we are advising that all children get picked up as soon as possible. All other summer programs in the local area have also called for an early release!

We are actively monitoring weather conditions and will keep all children safe until they are picked up. Thank you for your understanding!

I think the high schoolers already love Emily! From the whole "frying a mouse" incident (long story) to playing a game in the gym with them today in between painting, I think the kids sure love her!

So high schoolers, join the fun. We'd love to see you at Mission Mondays (learn more drlc.org/mondays).

This Sunday!

RevWell’s Summer Body Reconnect isn’t a workout or a seminar. It’s a guided space to slow down, tune out the noise, and realign your body, mind, and spirit for the season ahead.

In 90 minutes, you’ll experience:

→ Gentle movement to reconnect with your body
→ Teaching from Alisa Keeton to reframe how you see your body and how God meets you in it
→ Guided Scripture and rest so you can receive instead of perform
→ Optional prayer rooms so you don’t leave carrying what surfaced on your own

No pressure. No performance. Just presence.

What if this summer wasn’t about changing your body—but being more at home in it?

Not striving to look a certain way, but learning to be present in the body God already gave you. Not performing, but receiving.

Don't forget. This event is TONIGHT!!! See you there, parents! All welcome!

📱☀️ What if this summer felt more like the 1990s?
Bike rides until dark. Sprinklers. Board games. Bonfires. Actually knocking on a friend’s door to see if they could play.

Join us on Monday, June 8 for a powerful Digital Parenting Conversation as we talk about:

📵 Low-Tech Summer Ideas
🛼 Bringing Back the “1990s Summer”
📲 Social Media Readiness
🧠 Helping Kids Build Healthy Tech Habits
❤️ Protecting childhood while preparing them for the digital world

Parents everywhere are asking:
• “When is my child ready for social media?”
• “How much screen time is too much?”
• “How do I set limits without constant battles?”
• “How do I help my kids enjoy REAL life again?”

You are not alone — and this conversation matters.

Whether your child already has a phone, wants one, or you simply want a healthier family tech culture, this night will leave you encouraged, equipped, and full of practical ideas for summer.

Bring a friend, bring your questions, and come dream about a summer your kids might actually remember forever. ☀️

The class of 2026 is amazing. They came in the first day of summer break to start working on their 8th-grade class gift, which is mainly a service project to give our locker rooms a makeover.

They came in for phase one - the clean out - and then continued to do multiple projects around DR. THANK YOU ALL!!!

Next up: Cleaning & Painting

We invite you to join us this Sunday for the start of our new sermon series: Sunday School For Adults!

Every great story has a beginning, and the Bible's is better than you remember. This summer, we're returning to the stories which span all the history before the Jesus walked the earth. These aren't tame stories. But they keep telling the same story: how God works extraordinary things through ordinary, broken people. They also show us the roots of who we are as the people of God, and the story which just keeps pointing to Jesus.

Worship with us Sunday morning at 8:00, 9:15, 10:30, or online; we look forward to seeing you!

Visit drlc.org/SundaySchoolForAdults for more on this new series!
