Grace to you and peace, from the Alpha and Omega, who is, and who was, and who is to come;

God of love, we are awed by your love and your desire to speak to us. Forgive us when we fail to hear you and understand your witness. Help us to be still and to listen.

In Jesus’ name, we pray.

SUNDAY DINNER WITH FRIENDS June 19th (FATHER’S DAY) after the 10:30 a.m. Worship Service. Please join the Fellowship Ministry for an opportunity for DCPC folks to share in a meal together after worship. After the 10:30 a.m. service, meet on the front steps of Lingle Chapel. Someone will be holding a "Sunday Dinner with Friends" sign. After a blessing, we will walk to Vail Commons Dining Hall on the campus of Davidson College. All are invited….visitors too….and especially fathers and grandfathers. Please contact Kim Beard (skbeard@bellsouth.net) with questions.

SAVE THE DATE This September we will again be starting two of our popular Disciple Classes. The intent is to offer one during the day and another in the evening. The actual date and time will be determined by the participants. For those that have been through Disciple, you know it is an unique experience of safely exploring your faith questions in a small group environment. During the 32 weeks, you will read the Bible, listen to experts (on DVD) as they give their interpretation, discuss the interpretation and your questions with the group, all with the purpose of beginning to understand your faith, and how that faith can be applied to your everyday life. Stay tuned for more information forthcoming in July. Contact either Susan Manning (susanbmanning@hotmail.com) or Marty Metzker (martinmetzker@live.com) if you are interested in learning more.

TIME FOR A GOOD MEAL ! It’s that time again! DCPC has been invited to prepare meals on Tuesdays and Thursdays in July for the Levine and Dickson Hospice House. We need volunteers to provide meals for 15 to 20 people (by either providing a main dish, vegetable or salad, bread and dessert). Please sign up by June 15 through www.signupgenius.com or contact Leah Chester-Davis at leah@chester-davis.com or 704-617-3329. (When you go to SignUpGenius, click on Find a Signup.

OLD FASHIONED HYMN SING and ICE CREAM SOCIAL On Wednesday, July 6 at 7:00 p.m. in Lingle Chapel, John Kuykendall and Jane Cain will team up to lead us all in sharing and singing our favorite hymns. Hymns old and new, simple choruses or four-verse poetic theology, what is meaningful to you and why? As you request a hymn, you will be invited to share very briefly why you love it or what impact it has had on your faith. Beyond singing our own favorites, learning someone else's life experience with a hymn deepens our understanding of that person as well as potentially introducing us to a hymn we may not know or perhaps thought we didn't like. Be sure to bring children, youth, and anyone you know to share the joy of singing. Following the hymn sing there will be a time for further fellowship over homemade ice cream, a true summertime treat. If the weather is pretty, we'll gather at a tent right outside the Chapel. If it is raining, we'll enjoy our time in the Parlor. PLEASE BRING a gallon of your own homemade ice cream to share with others. The Fellowship Ministry will provide some tasty toppings to accompany your ice cream masterpieces! Please RSVP to Stephanie Rollans (srollans@dcpc.org).

BEST PARTNERSHIP It is hard to fathom that less than 10 miles from our very comfortable town is a community where children go to bed hungry, where children are caught in families where parents are unable to feed their children, where children are, in effect, raising themselves. This is Huntington Green, a community of rundown mobile homes, many without electricity, whose children attend Blythe Elementary School. During the school year, the children are fed at school, and during summer weeks, Angels and Sparrows provides lunch. But come the weekend, there is no food to be had. It is rare that we are blessed to be able to address such a dire need in such a direct way, but we have been given this opportunity by Caterpillar Ministries, which works in this community and has given us the framework to keep these children fed during summer weekends. Last summer, this project was an overwhelming success! Over 100 members of our congregation contributed bags of food or money to buy food to feed these children on Summer weekends for 9 weeks. That’s 225 bags of food- thank you! Some people filled a bag for one week, some for multiple weeks. It’s time to step up to the challenge again and meet this need in our community. This need is tremendous, and the solution is simple! Read the simple steps below to see how you can help DCPC meet this challenge. We are blessed to have been given this opportunity to share in God's work in this community. Follow these simple steps:

1. Choose one or more of the following Fridays that you can provide a bag of food: June 24th, July 1st, July 8th, July 15th, July 22nd, July 29th, August 5th, August 12th, August 19th, and August 26th.

2. Email Catherine Bragg at catherinebragg@bellsouth.net or Rosemary Klein at klein924@earthlink.net to sign up for your specific dates. A reminder will be sent the Monday of the week that you are providing a bag.

3. Use the following list to fill your bag. Remember to use a brown paper bag. Helpful tips: Store brands are fine. ½ gallon of milk and cheese sticks will be added before delivery. Small variations from this list are acceptable

4. Pack all food in brown paper grocery bag 5. Bring your full bag to the Student Center by 9:30 a.m. on your particular Friday.

If you'd prefer for someone to shop for you, write a check to DCPC and write “Blythe Food” in the memo line.
