Several members of our congregation and other churches around the country have received fake emails from alleged church staff requesting emergency financial assistance of some kind, usually in the form of gift cards. These emails do not come from a validated church email account, (ours will always end in “@dayspring-umc.org"). THESE EMAILS ARE FRAUDULENT. If you ever receive an email like this, please do not respond to the email or communicate with the sender in any way. Our church staff will NEVER solicit contributions or assistance in this way.
