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.
The Guiding Committee has chosen "Turning Points" as a theme that will recur through our celebratory events in 2021.
Keep in touch with our plans through our e-Newsletter (sign up below) and our Facebook page.

Epiphanies of Grace ...

Pausing

Pausing on the edge of reality...
sand grains mould
around my toes,
formed from
ancient earth ...

foamy hems of waves
swish around my feet,
ever-moving
ocean water ...

gentle breezes
push past my cheek
from atmospheric
air masses

warm sunlight
parts the clouds
pouring down
star fire ...

for a moment
on this seashore
space-time merges
with infinity ...

and all is well.
