Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

MEDICAL VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Hearts & Hands, Dawson’s special needs ministry for children, and the Dawson First Aid Team need medical professionals to join us in serving on Sunday mornings. Most volunteers serve once a month; First Aid Team members carry a radio and small supply bag while going about their usual activities, while Hearts & Hands buddies assist a child with special medical needs during one service hour. We hope you will consider using your medical skills to serve the body of Christ at Dawson.
