CORE VALUES
​
Hospitality – we seek to welcome and helping support pilgrims on the next step of their journey.  Taking the time to sit with someone and listen to their story, may be life changing.
Compassion - we seek to imitate Jesus as we respond with warmth and care to those in need or pain around us. (2 Corinthians 1:3-7).
Inclusion – we are committed to creating an environment where all feel welcome and safe, regardless of background, racial or cultural differences.  
Justice – we aim to promote a balanced and fair relationship with self, neighbour, all of creation and with God. 

20th Anniversary Year
Dayspring was formally established in 2001.  Lives have been transformed and many wonderful speakers and events have filled these twenty years, so there will be much to celebrate when we gather for each event this year.  Keep in touch with our plans through our e-Newsletter (sign up below) and our Facebook page.

Something to Ponder ...

The Covid pandemic has been escalating around the world and political unrest seems never-ending. Again, I have felt drawn into a dark place in my prayers. But I have also been rereading Evelyn Underhill’s An Anthology of the Love of God, and, as I read, I couldn’t help but think of Underhill’s experience of living through the First World War and the Spanish influenza pandemic which followed. Out of this tumultuous period in history, she writes movingly of the ‘brooding Spirit of God’ enveloping not just the chaos at Creation, but the chaos of the ‘now’:
 
The world in which we now are, from one point of view so lovely,
and another so chaotic, unharmonising, turbulent,
so far from fulfilling the intention of God.
The Holy Ghost now broods over the bent world … creating from chaos the Kingdom of God.

 
This brooding of God’s Spirit over the ‘bent world’ is loving and enfolding, is long and unhurried, is quiet and unceasing, and calls forth the Kingdom of God from chaos everywhere. So this week, may you, too, sense the brooding Spirit of God enveloping and loving you, no matter how chaotic and turbulent your world.
