February HIGHLIGHTS:
Celebrate Back History Month
Join us this second Sunday in February as we celebrate 100 years of Black History Month.
We are celebrating this month with a limited time signature burrito:
Soul Food Sunrise Burrito
In honor of Black History Month, Dayspring UMC welcomes the community to Second Sunday featuring the Soul Food Sunrise Burrito. Made with crispy fried chicken seasoned to perfection, scrambled eggs, melty cheese, and crispy potatoes, this burrito celebrates the way food brings people together. Second Sunday is an open community gathering rooted in hospitality, conversation, and connection. All are welcome at the table.
WHY 2nd SUNDAYS?
Second Sunday isn’t one service—it’s an open-house Sunday morning filled with food, fellowship, worship, and creative spiritual experiences for all ages. Come for a few minutes or stay all morning. Bring a friend. Bring your dog. 🐾
- Celebrating the Divine Feminine (8:50-9:50) – This February, we celebrate the Divine Feminine through story and insight as Olivia Bruner serves as our storyteller for Women & Girls in STEM Month. Drawing on the life and work of women like Maria Agnesi — named the “Greatest Female Mathematician You’ve Never Heard of” by Scientific American — Olivia will explore how the Divine Feminine is revealed at the intersection of math, science, faith, and women’s enduring contributions to the world.
- NEW! Tweens Improv ( 8:45-9:30) – On 2nd Sundays, Dayspring’s BeTween group invites you to start the morning with laughter at In BeTween Days: Improv Comedy, a high-energy, kid-led experience filled with improvisational comedy games and joyful participation. Designed especially for Dayspring children and youth to participate, In BeTween Days is open to all ages as an audience. It also offers a kid-centered option that runs concurrently with earlier adult classes and experiences on Second Sunday, such as Sacred Space or Celebrating the Divine Feminine—giving parents a welcoming place for their children while they attend other offerings. Beyond the laughter, improv helps build confidence, creativity, and empathy. Grounded in the principle of “Yes, and,” improv encourages shy kids to step forward and helps more outgoing kids learn when to make space for others. It’s also a wonderful way for Dayspring kids to invite friends who may not yet be part of the community—sharing something fun, welcoming, and memorable.
- NEW TIME! LOVE LESSONS (9:00-9:50) – The February Love Lessons workshop continues to explore communication and conflict management in loving relationships. We have been following the work of couples therapy researchers, Drs. Julie Schwartz-Gottman and John Gottman. In February, we will look at “the Shallows” or the mistake of skimming the surface. Sometimes the surface content of an argument isn’t really what it is about. Often, then, gridlock arises, and it can be a sign of a need to go deeper. From their research labs, they came up with six questions for each other that can be helpful in opening up to deeper meaning and hopefulness. The topic is presented, and then a discussion follows among the group members as they see it applicable to their relationships—present, past, and future.
