AZ AIDS WALK
The Arizona AIDS Walk is coming up this Saturday, February 22, at Tempe Town Lake. Registration includes a t-shirt. We will gather around 4:30pm to get a group picture before the walk which begins at 5:00pm. Hope to see you there. It's not too late to register with the Dayspring Team here .
PARABLE OF THE TALENTS
It’s time again for Parable of the Talents! Children have learned about the parable in Sunday School and are using their talents to create something to sell or share with the congregation this Sunday, February 23, after both the 9:00 and 10:30 services. Items are priced between $.50 and $2.00. (Cash only!) Funds raised will support Project Hope to help provide a third clean water well for people in Liberia. Email Emily@dayspring-umc.org for more information.
LA FLOR EN PARADIS
We have a unique recital of some rarely heard music featuring a singer and a little-known instrument. On Sunday, February 23, at 3:00pm, Concerts@Dayspring presents ASU alumna Anne-Kathryn Olsen and organetto player Guillermo Perez . The organetto is (as the name suggests) a small pipe organ from the middle ages. Tickets are $15 and are available online or at the door.

LIVING THE QUESTIONS CLASS
Living the Questions is an open-minded alternative to studies that attempt to give participants all the answers and instead strives to create a safe environment where participants can interact and explore what's next for Christianity. The video features 35 acclaimed scholars, theologians and other experts, and ample time is provided for lively conversation. For seven Tuesdays, beginning February 25, from 5:30-7pm, Pastor Jeff will facilitate the first section of Living the Questions in the Palo Verde Room. The class will begin with a light supper and fellowship; we’ll have fun and learn a lot about ourselves and each other! You’ll make new friends and grow in the faith. Watch a preview here . Register here .
ASH WEDNESDAY
Ash Wednesday, February 26, is the first day of Lent, the 40- day (excluding Sundays) season of prayer and self-reflection preceding Easter. The self-guided Lenten Prayer Journey will be open in the courtyard throughout Lent, and both the indoor and outdoor labyrinths will be available on Ash Wednesday. Prayer and ashes will be available between: 7:00-9:00am, 12:00-2:00pm, and 6:00-7:30pm. There will also be a taize service at 5:30 in the Fellowship Hall.
STUDY: THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Pastor Jeff will lead a good old-fashioned Bible Study for Lent on the Gospel of Matthew at Friendship Village ( 2645 E Southern Ave, Tempe ) on Thursdays at 1:30pm beginning February 27th. The study will consider the unique features of Matthew’s gospel and Matthew's portrait of Jesus as teacher. All are welcome!
