SIGN UP TO SHARE STORIES ABOUT SACRED CONNECTIONS

RSVP for “Sacred Earth: Common Ground,” a gathering with other faith communities to share stories that connect us with the earth and each other. It takes place this Sunday, February 25, at 2:00pm in the Fellowship Hall. After a brief welcome and introductions, guests will be divided into small groups, where each person is invited to tell a three-minute, personal story about an experience of standing on Holy Ground. Dayspring will be joined by Crosier Village, a Roman Catholic Priory Church, and the SEMA Foundation, a Muslim community service organization.

BLOOD DRIVE

One of our preschool families is hosting a blood drive this Sunday, February 25, from 1:00 - 5:00pm in our parking lot. To make an appointment please visit donors.vitalant.org (Drive Code: P2Y753) or stop by the bloodmobile for a walk-in appointment. Thank you for participating in this life-saving event in celebration of heart month and in memory of their own heart warrior, Sophie Jayne.

CHAIR YOGA FOR EVERY-BODY

Yoga isn’t about twisting your body into a pretzel. It’s a healing practice for body, mind and soul. Anyone who breathes can do yoga! With a gentle yoga practice, you will improve your flexibility and joint health. Equally important, you will calm the nervous system, promoting inner peace. The results can be life-changing: clearer thinking, balanced emotions, and a deeper connection to your Inner Self and the Divine. Class meets on Thursdays, 10:30-11:30 am, in Room 112, starting February 29. Open to church and community members alike. $10 per class. Bring a yoga mat to place under your chair, which is provided. Please note: Participants must sign a liability waiver before class. Questions? Email the instructor.

NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION

We invite you to attend a one-hour session with Pastor Jeff to learn more about the United Methodist church and Dayspring specifically, next Sunday, March 3, following the 10:00 service in Room 112 and Zoom. Please email Andrea if you are interested in attending or would like to learn more.  

SECOND SUNDAYS

Starting March 10, we will offer a number of unique opportunities on Second Sundays. FaithUnplugged with Pastor Michael, Love Lessons with Dr. Gary Lovejoy, Body & Spirit with Connie Stultz, United Methodist Men, and more. Watch for more info.

TOOTHBRUSH DRIVE

Our children are collecting toothbrushes to send along with the medical and dental mission trip to Tochimilzoco, Mexico. Now through Palm Sunday, we are collecting new, individually wrapped toothbrushes, floss, and travel sized toothpaste. Children can bring their donations to Sunday school and there are collection boxes in the narthex.
