During August and September, Pastors Jeff and Michael will present a special sermon series titled "Tell Me the Stories of Jesus." They invite you to share any particular Jesus stories you would like to see included in the series. Pastor Jeff is kicking it off this Sunday with Jesus Calming the Storm.  Please feel free to send your suggestions directly to Pastor Jeff or Pastor Michael. Your input and support are greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help and encouragement!

Regular rehearsals for the Cherub, Children’s, and Youth Choirs will begin on Wednesday evening, July 31. The Children’s Choir (1st-6th grades) is from 6:00-6:45, and the Youth Choir (7th-12th grades) rehearsal is from 6:45 to 7:30. Please email JulieAnne Weissberg for more information.

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 will host families from Family Promise the week of August 11 - 18. We offer temporary shelter for displaced families while they seek permanent housing. You can help by setting up Sunday school rooms into bedrooms before they arrive for the week, preparing a meal, hosting an evening activity (yoga, music, games, crafts, etc), providing food items for the week, clean up - laundering linens and restoring our Sunday school rooms at the end of the week. Please email Robert Locke for more information or stop by the Family Promise sign up table that is available a few weeks before each host week.

We invite you to attend a one-hour session with Pastor Jeff to learn more about the United Methodist church and Dayspring specifically, on Sunday, August 18, at 11:45am.

If this time doesn’t work for you, please contact us for alternate dates or times.
