December 14 - What's happening at Dayspring UMC

December 14, 2017

Family Promise

We are hosting Family Promise, an emergency shelter for families who are temporarily homeless, from December 17-24. We are always looking for volunteers to cook, spend the night, entertain, set up, tear down, and do laundry. We also welcome donations. For more information or to volunteer, please email Maria .

Blood Drive

Blood transfusions save more than 4 million lives each year. It is estimated that blood is needed every two seconds, and that 1 out of 7 people entering the hospital will need blood. Since blood cannot be manufactured or harvested, it can only come from Heroes like YOU – the volunteer blood donor!

This Sunday is our winter Blood Drive. Walk-in appointments will be available if you didn't sign up for an appointment. (Be sure to eat a hearty breakfast on Sunday morning and drink lots of water on Saturday.) Plus - when you donate blood this month, you can get a free pizza from Streets of New York. Click here for more information.

Covenant Groups

We are starting a small group ministry at Dayspring, guided by Pastors Jeff, Joel, Dot & Shirley. The first 5-week round will begin Jan 21 ^st , meeting 11:45am-1pm Sundays in Fellowship Hall. We will practice spiritual disciplines together and foster shared-faith relationships built on caring and trust. Please email Pastor Dot if you’re interested.

Coming Soon

DEC. 31 - We will have ONE service on New Year's Eve at 10:00am.

JAN. 7 - We will also have ONE service at 10:00am, followed by our Ministry Showcase, highlighting all the different ministry and mission opportunities at Dayspring. We’ll also have food trucks and family activities!
