Sundays at Dayspring Arcadia are evolving. Our current schedule is:
FIRST Sunday of the month @ 11:00am – Traditional Service
SECOND and FOURTH Sundays of the month @ 5:00pm- Community Table
There is a new movement in the gathering of the church, that taps into the ancient roots of Christianity, and it stems from a shared meal. Henri Nouwen says, “If there is any concept worth restoring to its original depth and evocative potential, it’s the concept of hospitality.” The development of what is often called “Dinner Church” is a call back to the ancient community gathering around an actual table, with a shared meal, and an invitation where all are welcome. As we experiment with new ways to meet our neighbors in Arcadia, Pastor Michael has launched the Community Table on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month at 5pm. These are small, informal gatherings around the table with a shared meal, discussion about a topic of faith and a short message or teaching. For those who are looking for something less formal than Sunday mornings or who cannot attend then, or are just looking for some good company, please stop by and invite your friends!
THIRD SATURDAYS – Borderlands Produce Rescue
Dayspring partners with Borderlands to bring unsold fresh produce from regional farms directly to our neighborhoods. We will host a monthly event for the Arcadia neighborhood. Volunteers are needed to pack food boxes of approximately 70lbs. This is a great chance to spend time in the neighborhood, interact with neighbors, reduce food waste, and bring healthy food to local families. If you’re interested in helping, please email Pastor Michael at michael@dayspringumc.org.
