A Note from The Coordinating Council Chair
Dear DaySpringers,
Whether you’re here in Waco or afar, I hope this note finds you well. As part of our Quarterly Meeting on Sunday, we discussed quite a few upcoming initiatives for the church. I’ll share some of the highlights with you here.
Platform Renovation: As we continue to make improvements to the lighting and sound in the sanctuary, the time has come to repair and update sound panels that are only accessible if we tear up the existing platform/stage at the front of the church. This has been the impetus for a new platform that would allow accessibility long-term, while also providing the opportunity to reimagine and enlarge the focal point of our sanctuary. Those gathered at our meeting voted unanimously to move forward with the renovation, and a team will soon gather to determine the design.
This fall we can also look forward to a new “Season of Creation,” which will shape our spiritual formation, worship, and care of the newly acquired 6 acres around our church campus. Thank you to all who have responded to the survey on Spiritual Practices, Creation Care, and Church Grounds. If you haven’t yet, please share your input here (or on our newly designed website!) by August 5. How blessed we are to have incredible grounds that shape our worship and lives!
The Dayspring Chart, our commitment to serve the church and each other, will be available beginning in August this year. Whether you’re well-versed in the chart or you a rookie, stay tuned for more details!
Finally, as COVID-19 numbers are on the rise in Central Texas, the council and church staff will closely monitor trends. We are prepared to “pivot” once again and welcome your feedback throughout the fall.
After Sunday’s meeting, we heard an update from Tiffani on the status of the ministry to immigrants and hospitality house. Click here to watch a video of that discussion.
No matter where you are today, I wish you well and look forward to connecting with you soon.
Warmly,
Erin Stamile
Church Council Chair
