OK So the above photo has nothing to do with this blog post accept it does have some great news - Isaac learned how to pedal - aren’t they cute! OK plus its father’s day this Sunday and I am their proud dad!
Blog Post starts here… - - Couple of great things going on at church that I was so pumped about - had to share them with you since we are doing the “12 Minutes of Prayer” P90X at church…
Here goes some cool ones for me personally:
- JESUS designed a new kitchen for us at IKEA (no really a guy named Jesus designed our kitchen at IKEA!) I thought that was cool because it is like the cheapest kitchen on the planet! (GO GOD - and the guy named Jesus at IKEA!) - OK so maybe this is just neat…
- BIG News - Kaci Calvaresi is Cancer Free! We have been praying for Kaci as a church for several months - and you guessed it, she has been given a clear bill of health! Go God!
- Multiple Good News - In the last month, There have been 4 babies born at DC Metro! Go God! Guess you could say that we are all about “populating the earth” at DC Metro… This is how committed we are to growing as a church - we multiply!
Here are some families to congratulate and some little ones to welcome:
Matt & Amber Streit ~ Baby Deacon
David & Aracely Garcia ~ Baby Diego
Mark & Keirsten Kelly ~ Baby Jake
Chris & Lisa Andres ~ Baby Blaise
I have also heard of some incredible things that God is doing in Marriages, Relationships, and in Personal Finances so lets keep pressing in as I know that God is on the move at DC Metro and in so many people’s lives due to the 12 Minutes of Prayer that we are committing to as a church.
Looking forward to seeing all of you this Sunday (Father’s Day!),
GO GOD!

PS - Send me your prayer requests and praise reports! Lets celebrate what God is doing together!!! pd

Heard great news about DC Sisterhood rocked it out tonite in their new location at King Street Metro Area. Although I was not allowed to attend (because I am a dude). Isaac, Siah, and I all had to make a little drive-by to check out the festivities for a few minutes before they kicked it off…
Guys, dont worry though, We are all going to get our fix this Thursday Night… I hear we have a killer service planned for our First Thursday Service, This Thursday! go God! See You There…

DC Sisterhood Rocks
I am so very proud of my wife, Taryn…
This tuesday night, the DC Sisterhood that she has been praying about - forever - will take its first Big Breath of Fresh - Sisterhood - Air… I know for so many of you ladies out there, it will be a huge breath of LIFE as you encounter God together…
For more information on this great event for women of ALL ages, you can email sisterhood@dcmetrochurch.org. or you can check out the latest updates, times, and directions at: www.dcmetrochurch.org/dc-sisterhood/ Also, dont forget to check out Taryn’s new and very cool looking blog: www.tarynstine.com
Looking forward to a great report that all was well at the Sisterhood meeting…
Guys,
If you are reading this and wondering how you can be a part of this great event I have two thoughts:
1. Offer to keep the kids for a night (I am taking the boys out for a cruise while taryn is out with the girls)
2. If you are single: Just PRAY that God is sending your future wife to this powerful gathering, and “NO” you cannot go - so add to that prayer a simple plea - - > that God would let you meet her AT CHURCH!
Fired-Up Women are ROCK FOR JESUS!
Bless You Guys and DC Sisterhood,

Well there is alot to cover in this short blog post - but here goes…
THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT WEEKEND FOR DC & DC METRO CHURCH!
30 Days To Live:
This weekend we will have part three of the 30 Days To Live Series where once again we will gain fresh perspective from God’s Word about a specific area that is sure to ignite our passion for Jesus all the more… With so many people coming into town this weekend for the inauguration - lets make an extra push to invite individuals to experience what God is doing at DC Metro again this Sunday!
Signs Team:
Speaking about inviting people to church on Sunday, be sure and say a prayer for the Signs Team. These guys work so hard to “usher” people from all over the metro area into the House of God… God use them mightily this weekend…
Awakening Fast - 21 Days Of Prayer And Fasting -
We are in Day 6 of our 21 Days of prayer and fasting and I could not be more proud of all of you for your committment to Jesus during this fast. I have already heard so many stories of God doing incredible things through this fast - but please continue to let me know as I am praying for big testimonies all month. One of the great things is that because of this fast - we will hear testimonies in DC Metro Church - ALL YEAR! GO GOD!
Also - if you have gotten discouraged about your fast… (very normal)
Remember 2 Things:
1. There is no such thing as the “Fasting Police” (In other words, if you have a moment of weakness it does not count against you! Simply modify your fast and jump back in…) (also - no one is trying to catch you giving in - Thank God!)
2. Remember that the Reward Is ETERNAL! Even if you do not see something happening right now - you are sowing seeds for the future - that you will reap. One of my favorite scriptures regarding this is Galatians 6:8 AMP “What we sow in the Spirit, we will reap in the Spirit.” Man are we going to reap some incredible things this year personally and as a church as we sow this time of fasting and prayer. GO GOD!
In a closing thought,
I am ready to change - and I know that you are too - so lets allow God to get a hold of our hearts like never before and use all of us together for something incredible this year…
So glad I am in this with you,
GO GOD!
David
PS - Can’t Wait To See You SUNDAY!
PSS - Comment below with Testimonies!!! GO GOD!

I am looking forward to our 21 days of prayer and fasting starting January 11th…
I know what you are thinking, you are looking forward to fasting??? No really, I am pumped about it… Not because of the sacrifice that is involved, but because I know what God can do when His people give up things that we like, as a sacrifice, and to say “Although I like this stuff, food, etc.” “Jesus I Love You More!”
This January, you are invited to participate in a season of prayer and fasting; a spiritual journey that will set the tone for our effectiveness throughout the year. We are calling this spiritual campaign:
Awakening: 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting
Many of you have already established times of prayer and fasting in your life and have experienced the powerful impact it has had. As a church, we have seen increased salvations, breakthroughs and miracles as we chose to put God first at the onset of the year. This year, we are uniting with several other churches (over 200!) to pray and fast together, aligning ourselves with the power and favor of God.
Just imagine what can happen if the Body of Christ unites behind this purpose that is so close to the heart of God. What a powerful way to start off our year.
If you have ever had a desire to pray and fast, this is a great way to do it.
Also - On This Blog - I am going to provide daily devotionals and scripture to encourage you through this great journey.
Looking Forward To The Greatest Year Yet,
Pastor D.

Taryn and I are diving into two very great books as we start off the year.
The one that Taryn is reading is Called: Warrior Chic by Holly Wagner.
The one that I am reading is called: The Barbarian Way by Erwin McManis.
These two inspiring books represent what we feel to be the best explination yet of what it means to live a God-First Life!
If you want to read with us, we will be diving into the pages of each of them as we journey to the DC Metro 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting from January 11th - 31st. The DC Metro Staff and Dream Team will be reading along as well as we all give our best to God as we kick off the year together with Him.
For your convenience, we will have copies of both books at the “New” Resource Center on Sunday Mornings.
Enjoy these books as we know that they will stir the Warrior, or the Barbarian within…
Go God,
Pastor D.
