Mark Your Calendar! New Worship Service at Dayspring

Beginning Saturday, October 6, Dayspring will offer a Saturday evening worship service on the first Saturday of every month. This service will be quite different from our Sunday service and is not intended to replace Sunday morning worship ~ perhaps some of you will choose to attend both! The service will be a bit more informal and contemplative, and will include Holy Communion, some music and a meditation.

Please join us on Saturday, October 6,at 5:00 p.m.

To You, Our First Time Guest: We’re delighted you’re here! Please stand when the pastor asks for first time guests, so we can recognize you. We also invite you to stop by the Welcome Table near the church entrance and pick up a packet with information about our church. Welcome to Dayspring!
