Ministries > Missions
Unto the least of these
DaySpring seeks to actively connect with the Waco community in ways that are helpful, meaningful, and compassionate.
One of the groups we work with is CrossTies Ecumenical Church. CrossTies offers several ministries to people living in the immediate area near its location on South 10th Street in Waco, including the Talitha Koum Child Nuture Center and the Gospel Cafe, which provides lunch to the community three days a week throughout the year. DaySpring participates monthly by preparing and serving meals in the Gospel Cafe, and we support the mission of CrossTies with our financial resources as well.
DaySpring also leads morning worship once a month at Ridgecrest, the retirement center next door to our church.
In addition to our regular involvement with these ministries, DaySpring frequently helps pay rent and utilities for folks in need.
Mission cluster discussions and project proposals
In Spring 2010, DaySpring folks got together to discuss how the church might be involved in various parts of the missional life. People got together in four clusters to discuss the following aspects: Renew, Share, Serve, and Extend. The following links have summaries of these meetings:
In addition, DaySpring is providing an mini-grant opportunity for your ideas of new mission projects. To apply, please fill out and submit one of the following mission project proposals to the church office or one of the members of the church council.
