DAYSPRING MOMS' MEET UP

Whether you’re a new mom or you’ve been through it all, the Moms’ MeetUp is open to all moms in search of a kid-free night out. We will meet for dinner and conversation tomorrow, Friday, September 22, at 7:00pm at Picazzo’s (NE corner of Warner and Kyrene). Email Andrea to RSVP or with questions.

FOURTH SUNDAY FOOD DRIVE

We will collect non-perishable items for our neighbors through Tempe Community Action Agency this Sunday, September 24. TCAA is especially in need of bottled water and baby formula. Donations may be left on the benches at the front gate to be collected and delivered to TCAA following Sunday's services. If you're unable to bring food to donate, but would still like to contribute, please CLICK HERE to donate securely online. 

WELCOME RECEPTION FOR PASTOR MICHAEL

Please join us after the service this Sunday, September 24, in the Fellowship Hall for the official welcoming of our new associate pastor. There will be opportunities to ask Pastor Michael about himself and to enjoy his singing of some of his Gospel Jazz repertoire, accompanied by Robert Mills. Refreshments will include our special coffee service, some vegan treats as well as cookies for the kids and young at heart!  


We are excited to also host “Get to Know Pastor Michael” receptions this fall. These dessert-and-coffee receptions are an opportunity for you to meet with Michael in a small group setting and for him to get to know YOU. Five receptions are scheduled in private homes in October and November (sign up here). The combined adult Sunday school classes will host Michael at 9am on October 9 and Friendship Village will host receptions in the near future as well. (Stay tuned for those.) We are limiting attendance and more receptions may be scheduled as these slots fill up. If you have questions, email Carol Muggeridge.

NEW SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE

Thank you to everybody who participated in last Sunday's Town Hall meeting. We appreciate your constructive feedback, ideas, and concerns.


We hope you will join us at 9am starting October 1 in the Sanctuary for Sacred Space, a brief (around 30 minutes) time for readings, music, and prayer. This more intimate service will not be livestreamed.

SYMBOLS IN ART

SHOW ME A SIGN: How Artists Use Symbols, a presentation and conversation with Phoenix Art Museum Docent, Nancy Feiring, is coming up on Sunday, October 1 at 9:00am in the Palo Verde Room. All are invited to look at art from different times and places while you learn to decipher symbols that would be understood by people living at the time the artwork was new, discovering symbols in art that are used to teach, to warn, and to inspire.

STRING QUARTET CONCERT

Join Burn City String Quartet, our Quartet in Residence for a concert on October 1 at 3:00 in the Sanctuary. This fine ensemble of ASU music grads will perform May Basket by Korine Fujiwara, Lullaby by George Gershwin, and String Quartet No. 1 "American Dreams" by Peter Schickele. Doors open at 2:30. Tickets are $20 for general admission, available online and at the door. $10 student tickets are available at the door with valid student ID. Learn more at: burncitysq.com

On Wednesday, October 4, at 5:30pm, The S.A.G.E. environmental ministry invites you to join us for a soup dinner and watch party in the Palo Verde Room to view and discuss the film, “Current Revolution: Nation in Transition.” Arizona features prominently in this story about the transition from coal to renewables on the Navajo Nation. Members of the Navajo organization TÓ NIZHÓNÍ ÁNÍ are interviewed as well as Arizona energy experts --including Dayspring member Dr. Clark Miller. Clark, who will be on hand to answer questions, is ASU’s Associate Director for Faculty and Professor for ASU’s School for the Future of Innovation in Society.
