Youth InTent: Tent Rentals

Youth In Tent For nearly two decades, our Youth InTent program has served our church and community by renting out tents, tables, and chairs for graduation, birthday, anniversary and other summer celebrations, as well as neighborhood block parties, weddings and wedding receptions.

DGFUMC youth take care of delivery, set-up and take-down of tents on lawns. In return they receive credit toward mission and choir trips. DGFUMC has a limited number of tables and chairs available for rent too. These are not delivered with tents. Pickup of these items is the responsibility of the customer. See the InTent Reservation Contract Form below for more details.

Our prices are competitive with commercial vendors and benefit a wonderful program. Our Youth InTent program is the largest fundraiser for our youth program and helps fund our Chapel Choir annual choir tour.

For prices and information please see the Youth InTent Reservation Contract at the link below. Feel free to contact Don Dunham with any questions.

Worship in the Sanctuary

March 5, 2021 - 1:22pm

Join us for Worship in the Sanctuary

Based on our region's return to Phase 4 and soon, Bridge to Phase 5, we are holding worship in the sanctuary at 10:00 a.m. with a limited number of people. Please click on the sign-up link to sign up for a seat.

In addition, we will continue to hold online Zoom worship at 10:00 a.m. each week.

If you are unable to join us, our worship services will continue to be available for viewing on Facebook and our website after the service.

As a faith community who promotes caring ministries and relationships, we are bound to uphold the responsibility to "first do no harm." Our plan to return to the Sanctuary developed by our Return Team and Health Team committees is based on the continued reduced rate of new cases, positivity, deaths, and hospitalizations; and a significant increase in the rate of vaccinations in Illinois. Currently, the NIC Bishop and the CDC suggest we continue to avoid large groups, especially indoors, so we are limiting the number of individuals who may attend in-person worship.

Although vaccine news is hopeful and positive, the next few months will continue to be difficult as new variants of the coronavirus cause additional complications in the health crisis facing our nation. Experts tell us that the biggest coronavirus risk continues to be personal contact, especially indoors. We encourage all to remain cautious and pray for all those impacted by COVID-19.
