JOIN OUR PALM SUNDAY PROCESSION!
This Sunday is Palm Sunday and everyone is invited to join the virtual parade. Download a palm leaf template and print, color, cut, and wave, or make your own creative palm leaf. Prepare one for everyone in your household and then take a selfie or group picture of you with your palms. Post your picture on your facebook profile with the hashtag #DayspringTempe.
EASTER FLOWERS
Sadly, this year on Easter Sunday, Dayspring will not be filled with beautiful spring flowers. In previous years, flowers were given as a memorial to or in honor of a special loved one or friend or gifts could made to UMCOR, the United Methodist Committee on Relief, in lieu of a flower. This year, we hope to continue this tradition. We aren't able to provide physical flowers during this time, but still hope to brighten our community with virtual flowers. We will share these gifts through lists in the Reflections weekly newsletter, on our website, and on our social media. Order here

WHO IS CALLING ME?
DAYSPRING CONNECTIONAL CARE
We are living in unusual times and it is hard to stay connected with one another. However, Dayspring wants to stay connected with you. In the coming days volunteers from Dayspring will be calling Dayspring families on a weekly basis to check-in, to see how you are doing and asking if you have any prayer requests. We will also be asking if you have an emergency contact number that you would like to share with the church and if you have any emergency management training that could be used if needed. We are so thankful to have over 50 persons who have volunteered to be “Care Callers.” Please note that Care Callers will not be asking for financial information, please do not give out.
