COMMON GROUND MOVIE

TONIGHT, Friday, May 17, at 6:30 p.m., the SAGE team invites you to join us for dinner and a movie in the Palo Verde Room at Dayspring Tempe. We’ll show the new Common Ground documentary, which profiles a hopeful movement of farmers using regenerative models of agriculture that could balance the climate, save our health, and stabilize America’s economy. Don’t miss this chance to see an uplifting film that is not widely available.

BORDERLANDS PRODUCE RESCUE

Dayspring partners with Borderlands to bring unsold fresh produce from regional farms directly to our neighborhoods. We host a monthly event for the Arcadia neighborhood. Volunteers are needed to pack and distribute food boxes of approximately 70lbs. Our next event is tomorrow, May 18 from 5-10am. If you’re interested in helping, please email Pastor Michael.

ELIJAH

Don't miss this Sunday's fiery 3pm performance of Elijah! Bringing together members of the Dayspring Celebration Chorale with singers from members of choirs from all around the valley, this will be a true community experience. Baritone Nathan De'Shon Myers appears in the title role and the orchestra includes current and former ASU students and the Burn City String Quartet. Admission is by voluntary donation at the door. ($15 suggested) more

MONTHLY TAIZÉ SERVICE

The Taizé service comes from the ecumenical community of Taizé, France. Gathered in the presence of Christ, this is a time of meditative common prayer. During the service, we sing uncomplicated, repetitive songs, uncluttered by too many words, allowing the mystery of God to become known through the beauty of simplicity. Email Pastor Shirley for more information. The next service is next Sunday, May 26, at 4pm in the Fellowship Hall.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

VBS is making a splash June 10–13 from 9:00 - noon. This year’s Scuba VBS will be full of the games, songs, activities, and snacks that you and your kids love. We’ll dive deep into an amazing undersea adventure where they’ll experience the ever-flowing, never-ending love of God. Children must be three years old (and MUST be potty trained) through entering 6th grade. Register online at dayspring-umc.org/vbs. Email Andrea with questions or to volunteer. 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

While we're always in need of volunteers to help Sunday mornings run smoothly, Summer Sundays present a bigger than usual challenge to fill these roles, as so many people head out of town. When you know you're going to be at church, please consider signing up for one of the following positions - some take less than five minutes and all of them are fun... and important!


If you have questions or would be interested in helping out in any of the following areas, please reply to this email or email Andrea in the church office:


  • Shepherd (formerly called ushers, shepherds answer questions and help guide people)
  • Offering Volunteers (Help pass the plate following the pastor's message)
  • Worship Assistant (participate in service by reading the call to celebration, opening prayer, and scripture reading)
  • Summer Sunday School Leader (lead one of our weekly children's Sunday School classes)
  • Communion Server (help serve communion the first Sunday of the month)
  • Production Assistant (help our A/V team with the in-Sanctuary sound or our livestream)


Training will be provided for all volunteers. We're also in need of additional volunteers for Vacation Bible School (please see above) if you're available during the week! Please note: All volunteers working with our children must pass a background check.

IS IT I, LORD? … A call for Second Sunday volunteers

“I’m spiritual, but not religious.”


If you’re like me, you’ve heard that a million times. It’s what people say who believe in God and maybe even admire Jesus, but who don’t want to be part of old-fashioned church.


Do we at Dayspring have something to offer such folks? We know they are missing the power of church at its best: the community of people helping each other be better people, and working to create a better world. So we can help them and they can help us. BUT, we can’t just invite them to the same-old/same-old. continue reading
