January 6, 2012 Dear Friends: This year we celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Denbigh Presbyterian Church.

Our theme was "Looking Back While Moving Forward in Faith." As we celebrated our church's 50 years in ministry, I was struck by how much things are the same and how much things are different. First and foremost, we serve the same faithful God. Amid all the changes over the past 50 years, God has remained the same. Amid warp speed changes in our society and in our personal lives it is comforting to know "the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, God's mercies never come to an end." Second, we as people are much the same. We gather for worship, fellowship, education and service. We love our traditions. We stand with one another through all the seasons of life -- from the baptismal font to the grave. We as people are much the same. We laugh and cry, agree and disagree, build up and tear down, mourn and dance (although not too much in the Presbyterian Church!). While much is the same, I am in awe of how different our world, community and church are from 50 years ago. As a church, along with all other churches, we have important decisions to make about how to be the church God would have us be in the 21st century. We must continue to wrestle with what will remain the same and why it should remain the same. We must also wrestle with and be ever open to the Holy Spirit's guidance on what must change in order to reach people with the Gospel in 2012 and beyond. We must be open to discuss the "why of change" as well as the how. In our faith tradition we call this "Being Reformed and Always Being Reformed by the Spirit of God." God is the same in character, love and presence, but God is a dynamic God who always meets people in their unique cultural, personal and social situations. I pray we will follow God's leading and example as we discern the way forward. I am grateful to each of you. I am hopeful for our church's future as we keep our eyes on Jesus. I am hopeful and trust in God for provision of financial resources, leaders and stamina so that we may be and do all God desires of us. Happy New Year, DPC! Great is God's faithfulness! In Christ's Love and Service,

Deborah

2012 SESSION COMMITTEE MINISTRY REPORTS

WORSHIP
Worship Committee Co-Chairs: Rusty Norton and Delores Fleming The Worship Committee consists of many dedicated and hard-working individuals Vision and Planning Team, Greeters and Ushering Team, Worship Leaders and Readers, Music Ministries Team, Sacraments Team, Seasonal Dcor Team, and Weddings and Funerals Coordinator. The Contemporary Worship Team is currently inactive. Vision and Planning Team Rev. Deborah Dail, Chair 2011 Highlights: The team was instrumental in developing five sermon series throughout the year: Eyes Wide Open during Lent and Easter, Under Construction: The Building Blocks of Christs Church after Easter to the beginning of summer, Characters of the Bible during the summer, The Stained Glass Windows of the Church during fall, and Waiting for Advent and Christmas. Team members and others created eight purple banners for the Lenten season and hung them from the light fixtures of the church. The banners listed a word on either side that represented the passion of Christ. Three special services were created for Ash Wednesday, the 50th Anniversary festival on October 15, 2011, and Maundy Thursday. During the PORT ministry in March, our guests were given an opportunity on two occasions to come into the sanctuary for a time of prayer, scripture reading, music, and sharing. As an outreach to the community, the team changed the Worship in the Park to Worship on the Lawn at DPC adjacent to the Pre-Kindergarten wing. The change was positively received and gathered more participants than usual. Devotionals were provided to the congregation during Lent and Advent. New Ministry of Friendship pads were ordered to replace the old ones.

2012 Goals: Continue to assist the minister in developing themes and ideas to enhance the worship service. Review the worship service elements and order of service to improve our service, so it is a spiritual blessing and reaches all who attend. Explore better ways to handle announcements on Sunday morning.

Redesign the worship service to add time for reflection. Explore ways to have more youth involved in the worship service to include acolytes, music for assembly, a youth prayer, youth plays or singing, more youth services, etc.

Greeting and Ushering Team 2011 Highlights: Provided greeters and ushers each Sunday, for special events, and for funerals. Enhanced the churchs outreach through greeting and ushering. The greeters welcomed individuals at the back door and at the entrance to the sanctuary. Maintained Ministry of Friendship pads, other worship supplies and ushers closet.

2012 Goals: Conduct training for ushers, ushering team captains and greeters in order to improve these hospitality ministries and to refine procedures. Review the contents of the Ministry of Friendship pads and explore adding a comment card that can be dropped in the offering plate. This card would alert the pastor and others of special needs of the congregant or visitor. Explore with the Outreach Committee and Evangelism Team lead the possibility of having the ushers or greeters distribute the 1st time Visitors Welcome Bag.

Worship Leaders and Readers 2011 Highlights: Provided worship leaders for regular and special worship services to assist the minister in conducting the service. Provided youth readers each week to assist with a reading.

2012 Goals: Continue to provide worship leaders for regular and special services. Provide training for worship leaders so there is more consistency. Study the assignment of Worship leaders into blocks of time (i.e. consecutive Sundays in a row) Study the reduction of worship leaders needed. Train the youth readers to better articulate their readings. Train the youth on how to focus on their respective concerns and how to express themselves in a youth prayer.

Music Ministries Team Dr. Kelly Montgomery, Chair 2011 Highlights: The adult choir provided worshipful music each Sunday and took a well deserved break for two months in the summer. The adult choir performed both an Easter and Christmas cantata that were enjoyed by all in the congregation. A brass ensemble was included in our outdoor Sunrise service on Easter morning and brought wonderful music to those attending and to the homes surrounding our church. Soloists and instrumentalists were provided to enhance the worship service. The Cloud 6 dancers composed of four to six young ladies have blessed our worship service with their dance interpretation of religious melodies. The adult hand bell group has re-formed and brings lovely music to our service. Kelly provided an adult choir workshop to help improve the choir and encourage other members to join in song. Youth musicians were occasionally added to the service and proved to be a nice addition.

2012 Goals: Continue to lead the choir in singing a vast array of music and styles. Explore having the hand bells play on a regular schedule (i.e. once a month or once every six weeks) Utilize the Cloud 6 dancers more often if the dancers are interested. Increase the number of youth that participate musically in the service (i.e. either playing an instrument or singing)

Sacraments Team Debbie Ames, Chair 2011 Highlights: For the first time, Communion was provided on a monthly basis in addition to special liturgical days. At a few of the services communion was served by intinction. The Sacraments Team provided the elements, did the set-up and clean-up, and insured that servers were available for all communion services.

2012 Goals: Provide the communion elements, set-up and clean-up personnel, and servers for all communion services as approved by the Session. Develop a plan for the proper disposal of sacramental elements. Develop a plan to use various breads for the communion services.

2011 Highlights: Hosted PORT Homeless Ministry in March and December, 2011 under excellent organization and leadership of Wanda Hale. The city of Newport News requested that LINK add an additional four weeks to the schedule, thus our additional week. Chairs of the committee served on the Denbigh United Christian Outreach (DUCO) board. Special offerings from the Souper Bowl of Caring were designated for DUCO. Pledge to DUCO was honored. Chairs attended Denbigh Community Action Team (DCAT) meetings. DCAT has waned over the latter half of the year. Joining with a subcommittee of People to People has been seriously considered. Provided emergency assistance to DPC members and other Denbigh residents who were facing utilities shut-offs, evictions, or other dire financial situations. Also made referrals to DUCO for similar situations beyond our means or level of expertise. Individuals worked extensively with families to help develop budgets and take steps toward financial stability. Provided volunteers to assist Brenda Lamb in serving lunches at Pauls. We attempted to increase the amount of time spent with the children at Pauls in activities such as reading, playing board games, scrapbooking, and photography. We also took field trips to Grissom Public Library two days a week for high quality and high interest programs. With generous contributions from the DPC family, we provided Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to a total of 18 families, most from Pauls Mobile Home Estates. In addition, clothing and a gift were given to school aged children in these households. Food was also collected to help provide for these same children over the Christmas break from school where many receive free or reduced lunch. Besides the monetary generosity, many people gave a tremendous amount of time and energy to this outreach.

GATHERED AND SCATTERED

This Annual Report Booklet has drawn our attention to what God has done in and through us as a congregationa congregation gathered for worship, witness and nurture. However, we spend most of our time scattered. We are scattered throughout the week to our workplaces, schools, homes, community organizations, the golf course, the daycare center, the doctors office and so many other places. As baptized believers we are called to be ministers of the Gospel wherever we are, especially as we are scattered throughout the world and community during the week. I praise God for your ministries in all these arenas. Take a few moments and write your own annual report. What have been the highlights of your ministry in the world, community, home, etc. during 2011?

Take a few moments and write your goals for 2012. How would you like to serve God as you are scattered and intentionally placed by God in various arenas of work, study and play in the coming year?

Now pause to pray for Gods wisdom, guidance and strength. Go forth to serve the Lord in 2012.
