We're still looking for a few more chili contestants! And you don't have to enter a chili to come to the cook-off. Lunch and bingo are free of charge and do not require entry into the contest. Enter your chili here.

Confirmation Project Update


Last week we reported back about the blankets one of our confirmands took to the NC mountains. This update is closer to home.


One of our recent confirmands, Sawyer, conducted a coat drive this fall. He collected over 50 coats for those in need of more warmth this winter. Don't worry- you didn't miss it in our emails. He conducted it among friends and neighbors.


We are grateful for all of our confirmands who are living into the call of Matthew 25 to love neighbors as Jesus wants us to.

This US Sunday

February 2 is our next “This is US” Sunday. We will have one service of worship at 10:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary. There is childcare for worship, but no Sunday school that day. The annual congregational meeting to receive the annual report and act upon the report of the Elections Committee is also on Sunday February 2, immediately following 10:00 a.m. worship. 

Scout Sunday

February 9 is Scout Sunday at DCPC. If you are involved in any scouting units, Girls Scouts or Scouting USA, and would like to help in worship, please contact Peter Henry (phenry@dcpc.org). We can use ushers, speakers and food collectors for Souper Bowl of Caring.

Consider Being a Mission Liaison


Community and Global Missions at DCPC relies on partnerships and partnerships require people. In a perfect world we would have members connected to and involved with all of our mission partnerships. Mission Liaisons help us stay connected to partners, learn about their news, prayer concerns, needs, etc. and then help communicate that back to our committees and our congregation. Is this something that interests you? Please reach out to Robert Alexander at ralexander@dcpc.org to learn more about being a Mission Liaison. Visit www.dcpc.org/serving to connect to our mission info and learn more about our various partners for Community and Global Missions.

Confirmation Project 


Laney Pleasants and Tilly Honeycutt want your crayons! We will take ANY Crayons in ANY shape for the Crayon Initiative. They create new crayons for kids in the hospital out of old crayons. Being a kid in the hospital can be overwhelming and boring, providing free crayons for the kids can provide fun activities and give them some happiness. We also have to pay for shipping, so we will take any donations for this, and any extra money can be donated to the organization as well.

The Next Session (January 26):

Topic: Biblical view of caregiving, sources of caregiver stress, navigating caregiver stress with the concepts of calm, clean, safe and loved

Speaker: Shelly Sedory, RN, educator from Movement and Memory,  Charlotte Neuroscience Foundation.

Each week a dedicated group of members gathers to pray for the needs of our community and world. You are invited to join in this prayer ministry. We gather on Wednesdays from 11:30- Noon in the DCPC Parlor. If you are interested in the prayer ministry but cannot attend at that time, please reach out to Rachel Walt or Robert Alexander or contact the church office at info@dcpc.org. Make 2025 a year of prayer. Come join us.

On February 1, 1960, four Black freshmen from North Carolina A&T State University staged a sit-in at the whites-only lunch counter. The students--David Richmond, Frank McCain, Ezell Blair, and Joseph McNeil—were subsequently joined by other students from area colleges and even local high schools. Their six-month campaign of non-violent, direct action not only succeeded in desegregating the lunch counter at Woolworth’s, but also inspired similar sit-ins in 55 cities across 13 states. On November 21, 2024, DCPC’s Social Justice Committee led a group of some two dozen DCPC members to see where it all happened! To learn more about this inspiring trip to Greensboro, NC, click here.

The church office will be closed January 20th

in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
