The Dallas-Denton District Lay Speaker website is changing. We hope you like the new look.
It is our hope that this website will be an exciting tool for sharing information, announcing and registering for events, and developing resources to enhance our ministry.
Currently you can read most of the website as a guest, but to use many of the features, you will need to REGISTER. At a minimum for registration, we need your full name, email, phone number, and home church. There are several levels of registration, but to get access to the functions on this website we need to know who you are. If you have questions about the system, feel free to email us at:

. You will need to be logged in if you want to post an article, register for an event, or post in our discussion forums.
Some of the functionality of the website isn't turned on yet, but we are trying hard to get everything working right. If you bump into a problem, or have a suggestion, please send them to:

We may be able to provide the ability of individual members to have their own blog for articles, meditations, sermon starters, etc. We're going to be experimenting with this capability.
We ask you to look around and give us feedback. This is a tool for us all, and we want it to serve as many needs as possible.
We want you to come back to this website often -- for information, for help, for inspiration, and for fun.
