Sunday Services:
9:30 am – Quiet/Contemplative Service (more traditional) with Children's Church
The first service is a smaller and more intimate service that reflects a traditional worshipstyle. A warm blend of hymns and choruses with such liturgical elements as the Apostles’ Creed and Lord’s Prayer. The service lasts about one hour.
10:30 am - Community time (coffee, tea and great rolls). This is a great time to network and meet new people.
High School meeting time.
11:00am – Contemporary Service with Children's Sunday School.
The second service is more contemporary and casual with worship leaders and a blend of choruses and contemporary hymns. The service lasts about one hour. A complete Children's program for all ages is held each Sunday morning during the 11:00 am
service for children aged 4 through 11 years. Child Care is provided during the service (new-born to 3 years).

Prayer
"Always be joyful. Always keep on praying. No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." 1 Thess.5:16-18
Prayer is intimate connection with our loving Heavenly Father, who longs for us to communicate with Him. It is the essential element of all that DICF does and is the breath that keeps His body living. Each worship service has a time for prayer and every board meeting begins with open prayer.
The various small groups also share times of prayer.
The worship folder has a prayer page each week and we are committed to praying for our adopted country India, its leaders, its neighbours and our home countries. We also pray for needs within our community, and always have much to thank God for. We trust this page is useful to the congregation throughout the week.
We also have prayer request cards and hope that everyone will feel confident to use these whenever they have a special need. The request can be shared with the whole church in the worship folder or can be kept confidential and shared with just the board members for prayer. We praise God for His loving-kindness as we come to Him in prayer. Anne Dobson
Benevolence committee:
Our church presently supports 5 major charities here in India. When a large, natural disaster
occurs or when some major concern on the Indian Sub-Continent takes place we take up special offerings.
