Pastor Michael's new podcast launches tomorrow, July 19. The Becoming Project is a podcast is for anyone on the journey to becoming who God, the Holy Spirit, or whatever name resonates with your spirit is calling you to do, to be, and to become. In these episodes, you will hear from guests who have journeyed. We’ll have a variety of guests, some who may not even be Christian, and that’s okay because we strive to hear perspectives from all walks of life. That’s what The Becoming Project is about.

This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb will be joining us at Dayspring via Zoom from Palestine in the Palo Verde room at 9:00. He is a Palestinian Christian, a Lutheran pastor, author, peace-seeker and statesman. He will bring us a current view of life in Palestine since Oct. 7 along with its history and his life’s work to bring hope to the people there. All are welcome and you don’t have to read the book. Hope you can join us for this most enlightening hour.

Blessing of the Backpacks will take place at the 10:00 servicethis Sunday, July 21. Children are encouraged to bring their backpacks to church and during the Children’s Time we will share a blessing over these backpacks and the children as they prepare for a new school year. Step Up Sunday, the day children and youth advance a Sunday school grade and regular programming resumes, is August 4. 

This Sunday is Snow-Cone Sunday! These cool treats cost $1 and proceeds benefit the Project Hope Clean Water Well Project in Liberia. Learn more about this special mission at: dayspring-umc.org/project-hope. 

Pastor Marvin Arnpriester retired from ministry on June 30. We will celebrate his career on Sunday, August 4 during a reception after the service. We appreciate his service as senior pastor during the difficult time following the unexpected death of Pastor Jane Tews and before Pastor Jeff's appointment.

Dayspring's new online giving platform "Give Now" is live and accessible HERE and on our website.

• Once you access the site for the first time, create an account by signing in using your email address. By creating an account, the site will maintain a history of your gifts for your reference.
• Next enter the amount you would like to give and use the drop-down menu to find the ministry fund you wish to donate to. 
• Next, check your payment method preference. You can give directly from a checking or savings account (ACH), by credit or debit card (Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express), or by PayPal, Google Pay, or Apple Pay.
• To cover the processing fee, leave the box checked. Or uncheck the box if you do not want to donate the fee (1% for ACH from your bank or 2.75% for card payments or PayPal, GooglePay or Apple Pay).
• Click submit and your donation is complete! You will receive an email receipt of your donation.

If you have a recurring gift set up on the previous Vanco system, that donation schedule will be transferred to the new system and you will be contacted directly in the next couple weeks to approve the schedule and add your payment type preference. Please wait for that communication later this month.

For all questions regarding this new change you can email Nan or call the church office at 480-838-1446 and she will get in touch with you. Thank you for your patience in making this change. We hope you find this new system easy to use and a great tool to express your generosity!
