For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

Together in Giving & Serving
CANDLELIGHT AT DAWSON
For more than 40 years, people have come to Dawson for the beautiful experience of worship led by the Sanctuary Choir & Orchestra and Combined Student Choirs. You will hear about the joy that God gave us with the birth of His son, Jesus, through Candlelight at Dawson. Culminating with the candlelit singing of Silent Night, these evenings of worship are anticipated each year by our community, making it a perfect time to invite a teacher, neighbor, or friend. This year there will be three worship opportunities:
Friday, December 15 at 6:30 p.m.
Saturday, December 16 at 5:00 p.m.
Sunday, December 17 at 5:00 p.m.
Doors open 45 minutes prior to the service.

DNOW VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
January 12–14, 2024
Last year, Dawson’s Student Ministry hosted over 300 students in grades 6-12 during Disciple Now weekend, and we are preparing for an amazing DNOW 2024. We cannot do this without the help of many volunteers. You can help by signing up to be a host home (we currently need homes to host guys), to be a small group leader, or to work with hospitality for the weekend. We need at least 60 small group leaders, 26 host homes, and numerous hospitality volunteers. Please help us make this a meaningful weekend for students by volunteering with us. Learn more on the website, or contact Karmin Lytle for more information.
