From Our Pastors And now back to our regularly scheduled routine…
I love routine. I love the assurance of knowing what is go-
ing to happen next. However, as a parent of school aged
children, routine changes with summer vacation. Summer
gives me the opportunity to be challenged with the unex-
pected opportunities that exist outside my family’s regular
routine. It has been challenging, but also a growing oppor-
tunity to live in the moment with my daughters and greet
each day looking for the unexpected joy and surprises.
This past summer, I have been meditating on one of my
favorite verses from Scripture. Lamentations 3:22-23 says,
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. God’s mer-
cies never come to an end. They are new every morning.
Great is God’s faithfulness.” What a joy it has been to
greet the morning looking for the Spirit of God’s love dur-
ing this summer season. God has been at work and what
an incredible gift it has been to recognize all that God has
been doing.
Now we move back into the season of routine. A time to
schedule ourselves with the gifts and graces God has given
us to use in our school work, our jobs, our relationships,
our play, and our worship and service at Dayspring and the
world. As we prepare for our journey of “routine” togeth-
er, I invite you to consider how you and your family will
schedule your worship, spiritual formation, and play at
Dayspring. Dayspring is full of incredible opportunities to
serve and grow in faith. Prayerfully discern how you will
use your gifts and receive spiritual formation in your rou-
tine. If you need help in your discernment, you are not
alone, please contact anyone of the staff and we would
love to pray and talk with you.
Have a great routine this year at Dayspring.
Pastor Joel
I am so excited to be in ministry at Dayspring! Please allow me to share a little of my story. My husband Noe and I have two adult children. I am originally from Queens, NY, one of the five boroughs, which happens to be on Long Island. I grew up attend-ing a United Methodist church which celebrated its 150th anni-versary around the same time as the United States bicentennial in 1976. During college I had the
opportunity to serve as a summer mission intern at the Wesley Community Center. Following that experience I transferred to ASU, where I completed my Bachelor’s de-gree in education. After enjoying the privilege of teaching for a few years, I began attending Claremont School of The-ology, where I received my Master of Divinity in 2003. I have been in pastoral ministry in the Phoenix area since being commissioned in 2006 and ordained in 2009. I love working with children, youth, and adults of all ages.
I am so looking forward to learning more about Dayspring and getting to know people here! Reflecting upon my own story and each of our stories gave me the opportunity to reflect upon those experiences and practices that have a formative influence upon our lives. I am excited about the ministry of spiritual formation, and I am looking forward to learning more together about the ways in which we are shaped in the image of Christ and participate in God’s transforming work in the world. My prayer is that we, along with members of the body of Christ throughout the world, may all continue to be formed in the image of Christ, together becoming disciples for the transformation of the world. “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and per-fect.” Romans 12:2 NRSV

Welcome Pastor Dot!
Children’s Ministries It has been a busy summer in Children’s Ministry. We have had so much fun with Vacation
Bible School and our Summer of Service; it is hard to believe it is time to go back to school
already.
Step Up Sunday is August 9th. On this day our regular Sunday school classes will resume
during the 8:30 and 10:00 services. Children in Pre-K (4 years old) – Kindergarten will con-
tinue to explore popular bible stories through many styles of learning including visual, au-
ditory, movement, drama, and crafts. The 1st – 3rd grade class will continue with the Godly
Play Curriculum where they explore sacred stories and liturgical traditions through hands
on, self-guided discovery. In 4th – 6th grade, we will explore scripture and our bibles with
the bible black belt program.
We are still looking for teachers and assistants in every class at both the 8:30 and 10:00
services. Even if you are only able to help a couple weeks throughout the year, we would
love to have you on board. It takes the whole Dayspring community to nurture our chil-
dren! If you are interested or would like more information please email Emily Slater at

children create their own
covenant. They meet week-
ly to share their successes
and struggles to keep their
covenant, pray for each
other and the church, ex-
plore issues of justice in
their communities and the
world, and do service pro-
jects.
We have changed our

On Sunday, July 12, Dayspring youth joined 5 other churches around the state to participate the first "Operation Hydra-tion Station." Each youth group brought cases of water and arrived at Dayspring ready to serve others. The youth groups got to know each other, had ice cream, and created signs to hold up at the differ-ent hydration stations. Five different groups headed out into the community to distribute cold water bottles to anyone needing a drink. Groups provided water to people at St. Vincent De Paul homeless shelter and around the cities of Phoenix, Guadalupe, and Tempe. By the end of the event, the group had distributed over 20 cases of water! The evening ended with pizza and fellowship. What a great way to serve others on a hot Arizona day! Our youth group doesn't slow down much for summer! June 12 our group headed to Nightsplash at Sunsplash for some swimming fun! On July 16 we went to Stratum Laser Tag with the Mesa UMC youth group. If you, or a youth you know, would like to join any of our events please contact Jennine.

On June 28 the Dayspring youth headed off to an exciting week with Sierra Ser-vice Project (SSP)! We had 17 youth and chaperones attend a week of ser-vice at the SSP San Diego site. While in San Diego the youth repaired homes in the City Heights neighborhood. This area has a high immigrant population with over 63 languages spoken! On 'Adventure Wednesday' we headed across the border into Tijuana, Mexi-co. While in Tijuana we visited two Sal-vation Army homeless shelters. Many of the people at these shelters are re-cent deportees, and we got to hear their stories. It was very powerful to hear how deportation impacts fami-lies. Their stories will not be forgotten, and we all have a greater appreciation for our U.S. citizenship and the struggles of many around the world. Other events throughout the week includ-ed beach time at Mission Bay, a reflec-tive walk at Sunset Cliffs Park, and many spiritual growth opportunities. We are already discussing our SSP site prefer-ences for next year! Also, please keep Bailey Erwin, a recent graduate in our youth group, in your prayers. She is headed back to SSP San Diego as a Staff Member in Train-ing! Way to go Bailey!

The Desert Southwest Conference held its Annual Con-ference in June at the Renaissance Hotel in Glendale. This event brings together clergy and laity to accomplish important business of the Conference and to recognize and celebrate special events, such as clergy who are retiring and clergy who are being ordained. Every four years, there is a special election of clergy and lay mem-bers who will represent our Conference at the General Conference of the global United Methodist Church. The General Conference acts as the legislative body of the church deciding the polity or rules under which we are organized. This was a year for the election of members who will be the delegates at the General Conference in May, 2016 in Portland, Oregon. Details of the election and the rest of the conference activities can be found at http://desertconnection.org/2015-desert-southwest-annual-conference-inspiration-report/. While there was a lot of voting and discussion of resolu-tions and listening to reports of committees, there was also a lot of fun. Our Bishop Bob Hoshibata is a warm-hearted and humorous person and he kept our time
together fun with “Dazzling Dan” (Rev. Dan Morley) and his magic tricks, a visit from Charlie the Tuna (remember the Tuna and Beans collection?), and an amazing Minis-try Fair complete with a huge volcano for climbing, Poly-nesian dancing by members of the Tongan congregation in Mesa, and over 70 tables of information from a huge variety of ministries represented throughout our Con-ference. The theme of this year’s Conference was “Inspire” and all were challenged to create new faith communities, engage in leadership development, and deliver transformational worship. Many Dayspring folks were in attendance including Jeff Procter-Murphy, Joel Bullock, Michael Kelley, George Smoot, Jane Baker, Cheryl Edmonds, Mary Thielemeir, Nan Lawson, Amy Notbohm, Mara Klein, David Barn-house, Carol Coleman, and Kent Olson. Also, the Day-spring Brass, Celebration choir and Chorale participated in the Ordination Service on Saturday evening. Here are a few of their comments regarding the Conference:
Cheryl Edmonds I have had the privilege of serving as lay member to Annual Conference for several years, this year being my last. I have enjoyed the different leadership styles of our Bishops. I also like the camaraderie with our clergy and lay members as well as other pastors and lay members I have met over the years. This year we had a speaker that shared in the laity session about the Lydia Patter-son Institute. This school was founded by United Meth-odist Women in El Paso, TX. This school is helping

bridge two cultures, helping many students to reach their potential and escape the oppression of poverty. The other component is the reports and resolutions and how our conference as a body works through the process. Very interesting experience. Amy Notbohm I had the privilege of attending Annual Confer-ence for the first time this year. On the personal side, it was so nice to really get to know our local Dayspring delegation and also to re-connect with clergy and individuals that I've built relationships with at previous churches. On the business side, I was proud to be a part of our voting on resolution 10.01 DIVEST FROM CATERPILLAR U.N. GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND SUPPLY OF WEAPONS. We passed this resolution to recommend that the United Methodist General Board of Pension and Health Benefits (GBPHB) divest of investments in Caterpillar Inc. We were presented information on the activities of Caterpillar in supplying bull-dozers to the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank that are used as weapons to destroy hous-ing and have also been used to kill civilians includ-ing a pregnant woman and an aid worker. We voted to divest of these investments in Caterpil-lar, because the GBPHB should be screening for companies that earn "significant revenues... from weapons" as part of their Socially Responsible Investing, yet investment in Caterpillar has in-creased since 2012. All that being said, I was first and foremost proud to be part of a decision to ensure that our church's principles and morals are driving financial decisions, and not vice ver-sa. Additionally, it made me think about my own personal investments. I need to examine where any investments I have, such as a 401k, are in-vested, and prayerfully consider if my financial decisions are led by my understanding of the teaching of Jesus.
Nan Lawson I’ve been to many Annual Conference gatherings over the years and what I particularly enjoyed from this year was 1) the posters lining the hall-ways that reported on how the local churches had used their $2000 Ignite Grant from the Con-ference to build vibrant ministries in their com-munities (Dayspring reported on the addition of our third service, The Table, which helped to in-crease our attendance by 11% this year); 2) a moving Ordination Service which was enhanced by the music of the Dayspring Brass and Choirs and the use of colorfully decorated umbrellas from Ethiopia to honor those being ordained (including Katherine Tang); and 3) passage of Resolutions brought to vote by the Board of Church and Society on the issues of Inclusivity (to remove discriminatory language from the Book of Discipline) and Economic Inequality. David Barnhouse I so enjoyed attending my first Annual Confer-ence….a rookie! Even though I was there for only one day and part of Sunday morning I thoroughly enjoyed being with my fellow Dayspring com-rades. It was a real bonding experience time for me! I very much enjoyed observing the voting process on Friday. Since my background is in policy and being involved in the state legislative process it seemed very familiar to me…..only this was much more Christ-centered!! It truly gave me a deeper appreciation for the United Methodist Church and our fantastic leaders and its diversity.

UMOM Sunday Night Dinners Serving over 10,000 individuals annually, United Methodist Outreach
Ministry, UMOM is a private, non-profit, agency founded in 1964.
UMOM meets the needs of homeless and hungry persons in our com-
munity, building a bridge to self sufficiency through unique programs.
Located in
downtown
Phoenix on Van Buren just east of 32nd Street, the
UMOM New Day Center houses approximately 500 men,
women and children each night with over 2/3 of these
persons being children ages 0-15. The goal of the
UMOM New Day Center is to provide the homeless with
the assistance needed to break their cycle of homeless-
ness. UMOMs success rate is excellent. UMOM places
more than 90% of the families in the transitional program
in permanent, affordable housing.
Dayspring supports UMOM through the Sunday Night
Meals program. We sponsor the evening meal for the
UMOM New Day Center residents two to three Sundays
a month. Our volunteers prepare and serve the meal in the fully equipped UMOM kitchen and dining room, they
also help with some food prep for meals later in the week. The menu is prearranged and there is a kitchen man-
ager to provide complete directions to volunteers. “It’s always nice to have help,” said Vikki, one of two cooks
on staff. “You’re cooking for anywhere from 350-420 per
meal and you get a little tired, so any help I can get from the
volunteers, I’m good with!”
Interested volunteers can sign up on the Dayspring website
at dayspring-umc.org/volunteer or by contacting Matt or
Carolyn Reid at 602-882-5292 or [email protected].
“We have a good time;
we’re always laughing…
I love the volunteers,
they’re great.” - Vikki, UMOM Staff Cook

Volunteer Spotlight Putting our faith into action is at the very core of who we, as Methodists, are. Dayspring, as a church, could never
do what we do on our own. We need people willing to give their time and talent to help get so many of the be-
hind-the-scenes things done and running smoothly. Each month, we’ll talk with one of our many unsung heroes.
If you would like to nominate an outstanding volunteer for our spotlight, please email [email protected].
This month’s spotlight is on Cheri Zwijacz and Brenda Webster. Our Communion elements seem to magically appear every month, even to
most of those working behind the scenes., but it’s not magic—it’s our
Communion Team of Cheri Zwijacz and Brenda Webster.
Q: How long have you been preparing communion for the people of Dayspring?
CZ: 9 years
BW: Approximately a year and a half. Q: What does it involve?
CZ: Pouring the juice, cutting the bread, wrapping it and making sure we have enough for each station. We also have to make sure there are gluten free crackers. Q: Do you enjoy setting up communion? Why?
BW: Absolutely, it gives me a sense of belonging and also allows me to interface with staff and be a part of the Dayspring family. CZ: It gives everyone the opportunity to come to the table to share in the consecrated bread and wine. Q: Is there anything else
you’d like to tell us?
CZ: This has given me the opportunity to meet other members at Dayspring, as well as the pastors. I am limited on volunteering at church because of the hours my husband works, but I am able to do this and I enjoy setting the table for communion every month.
BW: I love working with Cheri and her husband Dan!

Dayspring Dinner Groups
Dayspring dinner groups are a great opportunity to get to know other members in an
informal setting. There are groups for everyone, and a special group can be created if
there is enough interest. Dinner groups usually meet once each month in either
homes or at restaurants. Once groups are assigned, format and future dates to meet
will be decided at each group’s first gathering. Groups may also participate in other
activities such as serving coffee between Sunday services, providing further oppor-
tunity to meet others in the Dayspring family.
If you are interested in participating in a dinner group for 2015-16, please complete a registration form at the dinner group
table in Fellowship Hall on Sunday, August 23. You may also request a registration form via email at DayspringDin-

Indian Bible Translators Indian Bible Translators was founded in 1978 to translate the Bible into Bible-less languages in India. It has grown significantly
over the years and now employs more than 100 people full time. It has also expanded to include a Children’s Home in Orissa, in
the eastern part of the country. This Children’s Home is currently undergoing a renovation, thanks, in part to a donation from
Dayspring. The kitchen, pantry/storage room, and bathrooms are all under construction. We received a note from some of the
children who live at the Children’s Home.
“To thank you Dayspring United Methodist Church, Tempe”
“We children praise God and Thank You for your great help for us…”
“Thank you very much for the drinking water. God bless you.”
