Second Sunday Stewardship - Beginning March 14, the second Sunday of March, we'll be doing the offering differently in our worship services on each second Sunday.  You'll have the opportunity to bring to the communion table your financial tithe to place in the offering plates, as well as items that are needed by local charitable organizations to place in baskets.  This effort is aimed at providing us the opportunity to more effectively be stewards of the gifts God has given us, to involve more of our congregation, and to meet the dire need of our community's charitable organizations during these economic times.  We hope that you'll join us in filling the table of God with the gifts of God. 

Items Needed for March 14

THANK YOU! - In response to the terrible earthquake in Haiti, we received $3280.75 during our Special Offerings on January 17 and 24.  Thank you for your generosity.  Continue to pray and give.  You can get updates on the relief efforts at the PC(USA) website or the Hearts with Haiti website.  The youth group collected another $957.70 on February 7 through their annual Souper Bowl of Caring offering for Haiti through Water Missions International.

Thanks to all of the ladies who came to the 2009 Women's Retreat. We had a great time and hope that even more women can come this year, so mark your calendars now!  You can view all of the pictures from 2009 at our photo page.

Dorchester Serves Day - October 3, 2009

Thank you for making our First Annual Dorchester Serves Day a huge success.  92 people served for 450 hours.  We are so proud of our church!  Pictures are now online at our photo page.   Please remember that there is still much to be done in our community…so think of ways that you can continue to SERVE throughout the year!  If you want ideas, members of the mission committee have a lot of opportunities for you.

Fair Trade Coffee - We are now serving and selling Fair Trade Coffee through the Presbyterian Coffee Project.  Through this program, we can help provide a fair wage and a life of dignity for coffee farmers around the world.  12oz bags of coffee in a variety of flavors are available in the church office for $7 each.

Good Search - Do you google or yahoo?  Now there is a way you can search the internet and help raise money for the DPC youth group.  Go here, and we will get a portion of the advertising revenue if you click on Dorchester Presbyterian Church as your charity of choice.
