Looking Toward Sunday - October 23, 2016
There will be ONE service at 11 a.m. Sunday School for all ages will meet at 9:45 only. A celebratory lunch will occur in the Congregation House at noon.
Sermon: A Sermon in Four Voices
Scripture: Romans 12: 1-2
Lib McGregor Simmons, Robert Alexander, Claire George-Drumheller and Mary Margaret Porter will preach at 11 a.m. in the sanctuary.
In Romans 12, Paul appeals to his readers to "present your bodies as a living sacrifice...[as] your spiritual worship." At first glance, this might appear that he is advocating for an other-worldly kind of devotion. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Rather, Paul is calling Christ-followers to worship that appropriates the whole of one's life, that is, one's heart, mind, and soul, one's time, talent, and treasure.
On Commitment Sunday, DCPC's four pastors - Robert, Claire, Mary Margaret, and Lib - will combine their preaching voices in a single sermon as we consider how God calls us not to be conformed by the world, but transformed by Christ so that we rightly discern God's will for ourselves as individuals and DCPC as a whole.
Combined choirs sing Psalm 100 and Let All the World in Every Corner Sing.
The Jubilee Class welcomes Dennis Appleyard, James B. Duke Professor Emeritus of International Studies and Professor of Economics at Davidson College. Dennis will address domestic and international economics topics pertinent to the fall political campaigns, with a specific focus this Sunday on the problem of economic inequality. The class will meet at the 9:45 Sunday School hour in Room 212. We welcome all interested persons to attend.
Faith & Life Sunday School - The Art of Parenting
Join us this Sunday for Faith & Life Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. in Room 201 for a conversation about The Art of Parenting! No matter what age or stage you are in with parenting there are joys and struggles associated with it. Join us THIS SUNDAY ONLY as we explore these peaks and valleys through various art mediums, conversation, scripture, and prayer.
Blessing of the Animals
is this Sunday, October 23 at 3 p.m. on the lawn in front of Lingle Chapel. Bring your animals or an animal memento you would like to have blessed. Please also bring a pet food donation for the Loaves & Fishes pantry at Ada Jenkins.
