CHRISTMAS EVE DIAPER COLLECTION

This year, during our Christmas Eve Celebrations, we will be collecting diapers, especially larger sizes 3 & 5, for AZCEND (Chandler Community Action Program). Please join us in spreading joy and meeting practical needs this festive season. How fitting that we collect diapers as we celebrate the birth of a child!

THIS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 24

This year the Fourth Sunday of Advent and Christmas Eve fall on the same day. And so, we will begin the day at the close of Advent — a time of growing darkness and waiting — and end the day by celebrating the birth of Jesus, our wondrous Light!


8:50am – Sacred Space service with nursery care in Tempe

10am* – Traditional Advent service with Children’s Sunday school in Tempe and online


Christmas Eve Services:

3:00pm  – Cozy Communion service with piano (Arcadia)


3:00pm  – Communion Christmas Eve service with the Dayspring Quartet and nursery care


5:00pm  – Family service with the Dayspring Children’s and Youth Choirs and nursery care


8:00pm  – Candlelight Communion Christmas Eve service with the Celebration Chorale and string orchestra


10:00pm – Candlelight Communion Christmas Eve service with the Celebration Chorale and string orchestra


The 5:00, 8:00, and 10:00 services will be broadcast on Vimeo and YouTube.

DELIVERING CHRISTMAS PLANTS

 Please sign up in the Narthex on Sunday if you would like to deliver Christmas flowers to homebound persons. The plants may be picked up in the Sanctuary after the 10:00pm service on Christmas Eve or outside the parking lot gate on Christmas morning. 


DECEMBER 31 - New Year's Eve

Next Sunday is New Year’s Eve. We will meet at 8:50am in the Sanctuary for Sacred Space, a brief and contemplative service and a haven where we can hush the clamor of our overstimulated and overcommitted minds. Our traditional service follows at 10am. Pastor Michael will deliver the Epiphany message and the Dayspring Quartet will perform. Children’s Sunday school will not meet, however child care is available for kids up to age eight in Room 117 during both services.

MINISTRY FAIR

A new year's ministry fair will be held on January 7 following the 10:00 service. Please plan to stop by after church to see all the ways you can get involved at Dayspring! From classes and small group studies to serving others by building houses, writing letters, or quilting and knitting, you can find something for every age and interest.
