Lord of the Dance
 Dear Friends,
               This past weekend I was able to enjoy watching my daughter dance at a competition in Winston-Salem.  While I was there I not only enjoyed watching her and her friends dance, but I enjoyed watching lots of others dance to a wide variety of music.  There were many different dance styles as well.  There was hip-hop, tap, jazz, ballet, latin, and others.  When it comes to movement, God has given us a lot of ability and creativity!
               One of my favorite hymns, Lord of the Dance, tells the story of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection as it proclaims that we are invited into the dance of life with Jesus Christ leading the way.  We have been given life and it is not to be taken for granted!  How are we as families, participating in the dance of life that Jesus invites us to join?  Whether you like to get out on the dance floor or not, perhaps you can have some conversation in your family around the images that this theme provides.
               At DCPC’s children’s spring musical last night I enjoyed watching one little preschooler dancing along while the children sang.  She reminded me of the joy of letting go of our fear, attachments, and anxiety, and allowing ourselves to get lost in the wonder of God’s music.  Children have a way of teaching us about such things when we are paying attention


To God be the Glory!
Robert

UPCOMING STUFF – SAVE THE DATE!

Youth Sunday is THIS SUNDAY – April 30th!  Join us for one worship service at 11 p.m. when our youth will lead us in worship.  Many of you were in worship when these youth were baptized and we promised to nurture and support them.  Being at Youth Sunday is a great way to do that! So come and support our youth and see how God is at work.

Town Day is May 6th from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.  Come by the DCPC booth and check things out or come by and help us share good news with our neighbors.  If you are interested in helping, please contact Stephanie Rollans at srollans@dcpc.org.

Habitat for Humanity House construction begins May 13th!  We are participating in a community build with other Houses of Faith so we are not scheduled to work every week.  DCPC’s first work day is May 20th.  All those age 16 and up are encouraged to help us.  What a great parent/child work project.  We would love to see lots of families participate.  Please click the following link to sign up for one of our work days - https://volunteerup.com/ProjectCal.asp?o=138. We hope to see you at the work site! We are also trying to raise $10,000 to contribute to the project.  Please write Habitat House in the memo line of your check or in your online gift.  Thank you for your generosity.
