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 HolySpirit'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 eyeson 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

GATHERED AND SCATTEREDThis Annual Report Booklet has drawn our attention to what God has done in andthrough us as a congregationa congregation gathered for worship, witnessand nurture.

However, we spend most of our time scattered. We are scattered throughout theweek to our workplaces, schools, homes, community organizations, the golf course,the daycare center, the doctors office and so many other places. As baptizedbelievers we are called to be ministers of the Gospel wherever we are, especially aswe 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 thehighlights 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 ofwork, study and play in the coming year?

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