SUMMER WORSHIP SCHEDULE (CLICK HEREyou and your family are invited to worship each Sunday at one of two worship services at DCPC starting next Sunday, June 12, and continuing through August 14.  The 9 a.m. service will include liturgy and music along the lines of what is found in our year-round 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. worship services.  The 10:30 a.m. worship service will reflect the way that we worship at 9:45. While the 10:30 a.m. worship service will be more informal musically and liturgically, worshipers at both services are encouraged to come as you are in casual summer garb! The Maloney Bible Study class will meet throughout the summer at 10:00 a.m.  All other Sunday School classes are on hiatus during the summer and will resume on September 18, the Sunday following Rally Day. From 10-10:30 a.m., worshipers from both services are invited to gather for coffee, refreshments, and fellowship under the tent which will be set up on the northwest side of Lingle Chapel near the cross. The one SLIGHT EXCEPTION to the above schedule will occur on June 12 when a congregational meeting to elect officers will occur at 10 a.m. in the sanctuary.  On June 12, worshipers from both services will convene in the sanctuary for the 10-minute meeting and then gather for coffee afterwards.

Sunday Dinner with Friends

SUNDAY DINNER WITH FRIENDS  June 19th(FATHER'S DAY)  after the 10:30 a.m. Worship Service.

Someone will be holding a "SundayDinner with Friends" sign. After a blessing, we will walk to Vail Commons Dining Hall on the campus of Davidson College. The atmosphere in the dining hall on Sundays is wonderful and will provide a great opportunity for our DCPC community to sit together and enjoy fellowship and great food....and maybe get to know this beautiful campus a little better.  All are invited....visitors too....and especially fathers and grandfathers. Please contact Kim Beard at [email protected] with any questions.
Special Needs Support Group

Special needs support group for parents of children with special needs is meeting Tuesday, June 7 at 9:30 a.m. in the parlor. Come share ideas, concerns, and resources. You are not alone. Childcare will be provided.
Summer Staff Updates

This summer, as programs slow and many are on vacation, you'll see some slight changes in our staffing. By mutual agreement, Mary Margaret Porter, associate pastor for visitation, will be off for the summer, beginning June 5 and returning the end of August.  This time away helps Mary Margaret manage summer child care and gives her time to unpack at her new home.  Her summer leave also assists DCPC with budget issues. Mary Margaret assures us SAGES is in good hands this summer.  Visitation and pastoral care will continue to be supported by the other pastors during his time.  Mary Margaret will be around this summer if needed. As director of campus ministry, Claire George-Drumheller is away this summer while Davidson College students are out of school.  She'll be back in August to welcome the students back to DCPC. 
Lingle Chapel: Always Open-All Are Welcome-
What You Will Find (LingleChapel.org)

As part of the Worship Committee's goal of providing Lingle Chapel as a place of prayer and reflection to both our congregation and the greater community, a mobile enabled website has been created (LingleChapel.org)  for the purposes of personalizing the experience within the chapel.  It is structured around actions (Reflect, Listen, See and Engage) and is meant to enable a customized sensory experience for meditation, contemplation, reflection and prayer.  Though designed for use in the actual chapel, it can also be used anywhere.  Also included is a virtual tour of the facility.
The Lingle Chapel website will be constantly changing based on events, feedback and time of year.  If you are interesting in being part of this ongoing process, please contact Marty Metzker at [email protected].

Faith Formation Opportunities

For Children- The 11 a.m. children's Sunday School program is finished for the school year.

Covenant & Jubilee  (9:45 a.m. Congregation House)
June 5: The Covenant Class and the Jubilee Class have joined to welcome Dr.Jacqueline Bussie, the Director of the Forum on Faith and Life at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN, and a Phi Beta Kappa, Magna Cum Laude graduate of Davidson College, where she will be celebrating her Twenty-fifth Reunion on this weekend. She holds an MA in Religion from Yale and a Ph.D. in Theology, Ethics and Culture from the University of Virginia.
         Dr. Bussie will be introducing us to her splendid new book, OUTLAW CHRISTIAN: FINDING AUTHENTIC FAITH BY BREAKING THE 'RULES', just published by Thomas Nelson, and the recipient of a starred review by Publishers Weekly. The reviewer says, "Bussie writes with poetry, pathos, and pepper as she cheerleads for breaking 'faith-laws.'" Another reviewer writes, "Reading Outlaw Christian was like having a late-night conversation with a dear friend. The experience is filled with deep confessions, refreshing honesty, and new grace."
Dr. Tony Abbott plans to teach Outlaw Christian in the Covenant Class in the fall, and this program can serve as an introduction to that series and also permit readers to buy the book from Main Street Books, which will be selling copies before and after Dr. Bussie's presentation. All adults are cordially invited.
