"Some of you have been in a rattling season. Things have been shaky. You thought you were settled... but rattling is not a sign that something is wrong. Rattling is just the sound of the Spirit working."

If your life or your ministry feels a bit disrupted right now, remember that the Holy Spirit is often uninvited, unscheduled, and uncontainable. We can have all the right structures and programs in place, but nothing truly moves without the breath of God.

Be encouraged today if things feel a bit unsettled—new life is on the way. 🙌✨

Sometimes the most powerful thing a church can say is:
“You are loved.”

This message reminded us that God’s love is not about control, status, fear, or exclusion.

It’s about seeing people.
Welcoming people.
Celebrating people.

“Because Dayspring, that is who we are. We are people of love.”

Thank you for this powerful word. ❤️

“Moon joy, much like awe and wonder, is infectious.”

Two weeks ago on Mother’s Day, Melissa Rynders, East/West District Superintendent, shared a powerful message about awe, wonder, and the stories we tell as people of faith.

Using the idea of “moon joy” — the amazement astronauts experienced viewing creation from space — she reminded us that God’s Spirit within us is meant not only to comfort us, but to inspire us to share beauty, hope, and wonder with the world.

A huge thank you to Melissa for bringing this meaningful message to our church community.

A little behind-the-scenes at Dayspring —

We’re getting everything ready for Sunday, folding bulletins… and somehow it turned into this 😂

Gotta enjoy the process.

This Sunday at Dayspring is *yours.*

Second Sunday is happening May 10th from 8:30–12:30, and you can stay for five minutes… or the whole morning.

It’s also Mother’s Day 💐
Whether you’re celebrating, remembering, or just showing up—there’s space for you here.

Explore different activities, connect with people, or just grab coffee and breathe. No pressure. No expectations.

Come as you are.

Desert Southwest Conference of The United Methodist Church ⛪️ ❤️🙏

A Tempe church founded 60 years ago by a minister who stood against racial segregation — and paid a price for doing so — has continued calling out injustice and encouraging faith in action.
