Highlights from our May Meeting:

Restored Howard Vassos to the active membership roll. We rejoice in Howards return

to active participation in DPC.

Approved report of elder commissioner Rusty Norton on the April Presbytery of East-ern Virginia meeting.

Approved the DPC and DPPK financial reports for April 2012.

Authorized the Worship Committee and Information Technology Committee to moveforward with hiring Francis McDonald of J & F Productions, Inc. to do an analysis ofour sanctuary sound system.

Received committee reports.

The Adult I Adult Sunday School Classwill be studying Gods call for justice during thesummer quarter beginning June 3. Have you ever wondered why justice work should be animportant part of Christian discipleship? If Jesus kingdom is not of this world, why shouldthe church be so concerned about matters of political, economic, and social policy? We willconsider these questions and more during a survey of the Old Testament, including the Penta-teuch, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, the Psalms and the Prophets. The class meets Sundaymornings at 9:15 in the Conference Room and all are welcome.

The Adult II class is currently studying the Apostle Pauls Epistle to the Romans. We willfinish chapter 9 this Sunday, May 27. This is a casual study in which we discuss the various

points of Pauls teachings in todays terms. Our next study will be a book written by theolo-gian J. I. Packer,Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God. This study will look at the variousBible passages that seem to conflict between evangelistic outreach and Pauls writings de-

scribing salvation as being by grace (i.e. chosen by God). There will be plenty of time allot-ted for looking at our faith and discussing it. Both the Romans study and our next subjectwill help each of us to understand the Word of God and how it applies to our dailylives. Come join us! We begin at 9:30 AM each Sunday in the library.

World Missions

Thank you to everyone who has donated so generously to the Haiti school lunches. Hungry

children are being fed in Foison, Haitibecause of your contributions. From January to April30, 2012 we contributed $2,830 for school lunches. This amount of money fed all 700children at the Foison School for 28 days. We want to thank Sara Crippen's family for invitingguests at Sara's surprise birthday party to contribute to the Haiti Lunch Program in lieu of gifts.

From January to April, 2012 we contributed $422 for the Foison Water Project. Our mission-ary Bruce Robinson has asked that we emphasize the Haiti school lunches through the end ofMay, then to shift our emphasis to the Foison Water Project. Bruce reports that rain has cometo Foison, Haiti and with it an increase in cases of cholera. The long-term solution to both the

hunger and clean water problems is the completion of the water system at Foison. As you feelled, please contribute to the Foison Water Project so that pipe can be laid and purchased.

We continue to collect school supplies and funds for supplies and school fees for the chil-dren ofFoison and Passe Catabois, Haiti. As of April 30 we have contributed $585 for

school fees and $220 for school equipment.

Thank you as well for contributions toward unspecified construction projects in Haiti. Contri-

butions stand at $2,750 as of the end of April 2012.
