2013 Annual Report for 2014

1

Dear Friends,

As I reflect on the past year I am in awe of what God has done. In 2013 both the

Second and Denbigh Churches have carried out their respective ministries within the

churches, community and world even as we have been preparing to unite as one

congregation.

Thanks to the hard work of our Plan of Union Team, the open hearts of SPC and DPC

members and the movement of the Holy Spirit, Second and Denbigh Presbyterian

Churches made the decision to unite. Our union became official in stages: sessions

approved, congregations approved, the Presbytery of Eastern Virginia approved.

Then, on January 5, 2014 our union became official during a worship service at which

our officers were ordained and/or installed, I was installed as pastor of DUPC and the

Administrative Commission of PEVA pronounced us united.

While it is a time of rejoicing that God has brought us together, it is also a time of

transition and change for all of us. As we journey forward as a united church, we will

have many adjustments to make. Similar to the first years of marriage (or perhaps all

the years of marriage!) our journey will involve learning each other’s ways,

compromising, being creative and demonstrating grace to one another. We will need

to remember our purpose – to honor and serve God as we share Christ’s love in our

words and deeds with the community and world.

In Colossians 3: 12-17, Paul writes:

As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion,

kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone

has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has

forgiven you, so you also must forgive. Above all, clothe yourselves with love,

which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ

rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be

thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one

another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns,

and spiritual songs to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything

in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

It is my earnest prayer that these words will guide us as we journey forward as a

united church. I am truly excited about what God has done and all that God will do in

and through us – The Denbigh United Presbyterian Church.

In Christ’s Love and Service,

Deborah

PRESCHOOL

2013 Pre-Kindergarten Board Chair: Kristi Spivey

2014 Preschool Board Co-Chairs: Shirlie Anson and Joe Bender

The Denbigh United Presbyterian Preschool provides Christian ministry to the community through preschool education for 2 ½, 3 and 4 year old children. Enrollment is approximately 60 students with a staff of 11; 4 teachers, 4 assistant teachers, an administrative assistant, music teacher and the director.

(Please note that the Denbigh Presbyterian Pre-Kindergarten is now the Denbigh United Presbyterian Preschool per the Session’s vote in late 2013.)

Preschool Director: Maggie Vincelette

2013 Members: Shirlie Anson, John McLeod (Treasurer), Shirley Rucker (Assistant Treasurer), Carolyn Vassos

2013 Highlights:

The DPC Pre-Kindergarten continued to provide quality Christian nurture to the community.

28

The School provided ministry to the community through its quality education program that included bi-weekly chapel for all students and their parents or other caregivers.

Stay and Play, an afternoon program offered 1 or 2 days a week for children to stay into the afternoon, continued to be successful.

The School also participated in Church programs such as Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes, food collections for DUCO, and “Angel Tree.”

The Pre-K maintains a scholarship fund to provide assistance to low-income and temporarily stressed families who wish to take advantage of the outstanding capabilities of the School. We currently have one student attending on scholarship.

The current breakdown of classes is: 2 classes of 4-year-old children, 2 classes of 3-year-old children and one class of 2 ½ year-old children.

In 2013 we increased Staff Training and Professional Development.

Currently participating in the state of Virginia Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS). The rater from VSQI (Virginia Star Quality Initiative) returned to the school in February 2013, and a 4 star quality rating was awarded to DPPK for the second time. This rating is valid for 2 years.

Representatives from DPPK and SPPS (Second Presbyterian Pre-School) met to discuss the feasibility of uniting the two schools. While both schools were found to offer high quality educational opportunities and each had similar goals and objectives the decision was made by the Board of SPPS to close their school at the end of the 2013/2014 school year. Although the schools will not be united, the name of DPPK has changed to Denbigh United Presbyterian Preschool to reflect its affiliation with the united churches.

As this report is being written work is moving forward on increasing the depth of the pea gravel in the fall zone around playground equipment. With the help of 9 strong volunteers the two largest pieces of equipment were moved to the grass to allow work to go forward and realizing a savings of $1,200!

2014 Goals:

Under the leadership of the new board co-chairs, Shirlie Anson and Joe Bender and the continued exemplary leadership of the present director, Maggie Vincelette, Denbigh United Presbyterian Preschool will:

Continue Church ministry to the community by providing a high quality preschool program

Reach out to those families whose children are currently attending Second Presbyterian Preschool and encourage them to consider Denbigh United Presbyterian Preschool for the 2014-2015 school year and beyond

Continue strengthening ties between the Preschool and the Church through more opportunities for integrated ministries and operations.

Continue to participate in the state of Virginia Star Quality Initiative.

Continue to support the church’s outreach by requesting food donations for DUCO and shoeboxes for Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child from the school families.

GATHERED AND SCATTERED

This Annual Report Booklet has drawn our attention to what God has done in and through us as a congregation—a 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 doctor’s 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 2013? Take a few moments and write your goals for 2014. 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 God’s wisdom, guidance and strength. Go forth to serve the Lord in 2014.

54

MISSION STATEMENTS We are including in this year’s annual report the mission statements of both the Second and Denbigh Presbyterian Churches. In the coming year we will develop a mission statement for the Denbigh United Presbyterian Church.

Second Presbyterian Church Mission

Statement

We are a traditional community of believers seeking to obey the divine imperative to love God

and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Our mission is: To offer spiritual growth opportunities

for all ages; To support one another within a caring, nurturing fellowship; To serve as disciples

of Christ’s welcoming outreach to the neighborhood and beyond.

(Please see next page for DPC Mission

Statement.)
