Please email Kris with questions or to volunteer.

Dayspring Arcadia is home to a great collection of nativity scenes from around the world. You are invited to help set up our Advent 2022 Nativity display this Sunday, November 27 after the 11am Sunday service. Bring a lunch/brunch item to share as we work together to decorate for Christmas if you can. Please sign up HERE if you can make it!

Books are available in the church office starting Sunday for $14. Please email the church office to register.

Kick off the Christmas season on Sunday, December 4 at 4pm with a family-friendly concert that also includes children's activities and pictures with Santa. Bring cookies for our Christmas cookie contest, stay for a chili dinner and more fun! Please bring a non-perishable food item for Tempe Community Action Agency. Donations to support the music program are appreciated.

Celebrate with Earth-Friendly Holidays!

As we prepare for the coming Advent season, have you thought about ways to practice hope, peace, love, and joy for our sacred earth by adopting one or two new eco-friendly traditions? A google search on eco-friendly holidays will give you some ideas to explore. Or check out: Ideas for a Green Thanksgiving Meal by Interfaith Power & Light; and World Wildlife Fund’s Seven Tips for an Earth-Friendly Holiday Season.
