May 17 - What's happening at Dayspring UMC

May 17, 2018

NEW HEARING LOOP

We are in the process of installing a new Hearing Loop which will allow people who wear hearing aids to directly receive the sound form the church sound system simply by activating their T-coil setting, much like Wi-Fi for laptops. To hear better, you no longer need to pick up a separate listening device - it is already in your ear! If you wear hearing instruments, the T-coil program must be manually activated by pushing a button on your device. Please consult your audiologist to ensure your T-coils are activated and properly adjusted for loop listening. Learn more

NEW COFFEE SERVICE

Do you enjoy hosting or do you have dreams of someday becoming a barista? We are in the process of experimenting with a new coffee system for coffee fellowship and are looking for volunteers to help host on Sunday mornings. Please email Pastor Dot if you would like to sign up or learn more!

INVEST IN EDUCATION BALLOT INITIATIVE

We are encouraged by the response to the citizens initiative Invest in Education petition drive and will have information and petitions on the patio for the next several weeks. Dayspring is committed to helping get the needed money for our schools and we are thankful for all who have signed petitions on the patio. Those petitions will be available each week. There is a fact sheet available on the patio explaining the initiative.

Here are a few key points:

It is an increase on income tax on incomes above $250,000 single or $500,000 household. *Note: for $257,000, the added tax only applies to the $7,000.
It will raise almost $7,000,000
This citizens initiative needs 150,000 valid signatures by the end of June.

United Methodist Women meet tonight, Thursday May 17, at 7:00pm in the Adult Room. Monica Dorcey from Valley Interfaith Project will speak about social safety-net programs as well as healthcare issues. Please email UMW if you are in need of a ride to the meeting.

DAYSPRING PRIDE

Our supportive and welcoming network for LGBTQ persons and allies meets monthly and provides an opportunity for folks to come together, meet new people, learn more about our community, and become part of a diverse group. We will host Rev. Kimberly Scott of One Community at a potluck this Sunday, May 20 at 12:00pm in the Adult Room. Rev. Scott will not only speak after the meal but she will have delivered the sermon during the 9:00 and 10:30 services.
