On Saturday, January 14, DPC will have a chili cookoff fundraiser, held at Delfield’s American Legion Post.
The cookoff will begin at 3:30PM. There will be playoff football on the television and a cash bar, provided by the Legion, and DPC will bring lots of food to share with anyone who’s there.
The cost of a ticket is $5 for all-you-can-eat chili. We’ll also raffle off a number of prizes and have a 50/50 raffle.
If you’d like to enter your chili, talk to Chrys Gregoire or Carol Buech. If you want to donate toward a gift basket or volunteer, there are sign up sheets in DPC’s fellowship hall.
Hope to see you there!
DPC’s adult education Bible study is set to resume on January 8, 2023 at 11AM in the conference room.
We’re continuing to go through the book of Genesis, while gaining skills to read the Bible for its intended meaning on our own.
All are invited!

Due to enhanced COVID safety protocols at DPC, the Bible study group has decided to hit “pause” on our Bible study until we will be able to meet in-person again. This means that we will resume our Bible study on February 20. It will be in the conference room at 11 AM. We will look at some of the historical context of the book of Genesis, as well as different genres of writing that appear in the book. Understanding these things will help us to understand the book moving forward.
