Our annual Charge Conference is scheduled for this Thursday, October 28 at 6:30pm via zoom. Led by our District Superintendent, the conference is held every year for the purpose of conducting the business of the church as required by the 2016 Book of Discipline and provides those in attendance with an overview of the past year in the life of the church. Everyone is encouraged to attend and speak, but this is a charge conference, which means only members of the Covenant Council may vote. CLICK HERE for the Zoom link.

Everyone experiences grief differently, but having skills to process life after loss can make life bearable and, hopefully, life giving. On Mondays, at 6:30pm, Dayspring is hosting a Zoom grief support group. This class introduces skills that persons may find helpful in their journey of healing. If you, or someone you know needs support in grieving a major loss in your life, such as a death or broken relationship, or job loss, this is a safe place to process in community. Please register by emailing Pastor Joel. Psychologist and Dayspring member, Dr. Sharon Zygowicz facilitates the sessions.

CHILDREN'S MINISTRY CLOTHING DRIVE |
As part of our ongoing Project Hope Mission project, we are proud to have built three wells in Liberia with the help of Prince Mayson and the Mayson family. We are partnering again for a Children’s Shoes and Clothing Drive to deliver to children in the communities in and around where our previous wells have been built. Please bring gently used clothes and shoes, as well as new toothbrushes and toothpastes to the donation bins in the Narthex by October 31. Please email Emily with questions.

Our ministry with asylum seekers is still in need of donations. The International Rescue Committee continues to receive from 100 to 200 people per day. This has resulted in constantly depleted stocks of clothing, shoes and other items. We especially need smaller adult size casual pants/jeans, jackets, and tennis/athletic shoes, sturdy work boots, and flip-flops, as well as disposable razors, travel-size shaving cream and nail clippers. Please email Pastor Jim O’Neal to arrange for items to be picked up. Learn more
