BURN CITY STRING QUARTET CONCERT
TOMORROW @ 7;30PM!
Burn City String Quartet is a Phoenix-based ensemble dedicated to performing music from the celebrated historical quartet repertoire alongside music created by the current generation of composers and performers. The heart of the quartet is here in the Sonoran Desert, and the quartet has a special vision and mission to highlight music with its roots in Arizona.

Their November 5 program includes Maurice Ravel's celebrated String Quartet, composed in 1903, recent works by local composers Alejandro Pruneau and Bryson Largo, and "Southern Harmony" by 2010 Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Jennifer Higdon.

ALL SAINTS SUNDAY
This Sunday, November 7, is All Saints Sunday, an opportunity to give thanks for those who have gone before us in the faith. It is a time to celebrate our history, what United Methodists call the tradition of the church. We think of the inspirational people with whom we celebrate on Sunday, and those across the world we will never meet. We celebrate those who inspire us and those whose lives encourage us. We give thanks for those with whom we agree, as well as those whose views we do not share.
NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION
Whether you're new to Dayspring or you've been attending for a while, we invite you to attend a one-hour session with Pastor Jeff to learn more about the United Methodist church and Dayspring specifically, this Sunday, November 7 at 2:00pm. We will meet via Zoom or, if you are not able to participate online, we can meet via phone. Please email the church office if you are interested. This is the final orientation of 2021. Learn more
CELEBRATION OF LIFE
A Celebration of the Life of Ruth Yandell will be held this Sunday, November 7 at 2:00pm in our Sanctuary. The service will be livestreamed here.

Butter Braids may be ordered for the holiday season on November 7, 14, and 21 after both services. They will be available for pickup the week of December 13. Proceeds benefit Dayspring Youth Ministry’s summer Sierra Service Project trip.
UNITED METHODIST WOMEN
The entire congregation is invited to the November 18, 7pm United Methodist Women’s Zoom meeting to hear Julie O’Neal speak on How to keep your efforts toward anti-racism alive when it seems "nothing" is going on. Julie's hope is to help encourage folks to keep pressing on toward the fight against racism in the times when momentum can wane. Email Bev for the zoom link or details.

BORDERLANDS PRODUCE RESCUE
Starting in November, we will once again host a monthly drive-through at Dayspring Arcadia. Volunteers are needed to pack food boxes of approximately 70lbs of produce. This is a great chance to spend time in the neighborhood, interact with neighbors, reduce food waste and bring healthy food to local families. Our next event is November 20 from 6:30 - 11am. Please email Amy with questions or to volunteer.
THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE
Our annual Thanksgiving food drive is on November 21 from 8:30-noon. All collected food and turkeys will be donated to the United Food Bank in Mesa. We will have a refrigerated truck to collect frozen turkeys and non-perishable food items, including canned beans, peanut butter, pasta, canned meats, canned fruits and veggies, and rice.  We also accept cash donations that will also be donated to United Food Bank so they can purchase fresh produce, meat, and dairy. 
2021 ADVENT STUDY
Our four-week 2021 Advent Study is “While We Wait: Living the Questions of Advent” by Mary Lou Redding, who was the managing editor of The Upper Room devotional guide.
