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.
Book Blog -
We currently have an online
book club reading Tribal
Church: Ministering to the Missing
Generation by Carol Howard-Merritt.
Please call Dorothy if
you would like to participate, we still have a few copies of the book, and it's
not too late to join in the discussion.
You may go to our book blog
to learn more about the book and see where the discussion is taking place.

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,
