NEW TEMPE SCHOLARSHIP

Do you know an extraordinary high school senior? The City of Tempe is taking applications for the very first Dolores Huerta Advocacy and Social Justice Award scholarship.

VIRTUAL CHOIR

Have you always wanted to sing with the Dayspring Choir (or any choir) but hesitated? Now's your chance! We are hoping to put together some virtual choir performances for use in future online services. Each person makes a video of themselves singing to recorded accompaniment, and we assemble the recordings into a single video. To express interest, please complete this form.

CARE PACKAGES FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS

Let’s show our college students how much we love them! During the week of March 7-13, Dayspring individuals and families are invited to create care packages for our current undergraduate students and mail them so they receive them before finals.

These care packages can be filled with snacks, pens, journals, and cards of encouragement. Parents of college students are asked to email Jennine their students’ current mailing addresses. Parents, please indicate their favorite snacks, t-shirt size, and if they have any allergies. If you and/or your family would like to sign up to create a care package, please email Pastor Joel.

If you have had a difficult time registering online for the COVID vaccine, please email the church office or call (480) 838-1446. PLEASE NOTE: We do not have access to any earlier appointments, we are simply providing technical support to sign up.
