March Memory Verse

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.
Romans 8:26

SERVE AT KIDLIFE 2022

We are so excited to offer KidLife, Dawson’s version of VBS, on campus June 6–9. Our theme for this year is “SPLASH!” and we will need hundreds of volunteers to guide preschoolers and children of our church and community on a journey to discover more about God and grow to become more like His Son, Jesus. This year, more than ever before, we need additional volunteers so we can continue to open additional classes. Please visit dawsonchurch.org/KidLife and sign up to serve with us.

COLORADO MISSION TRIP

Dawson’s Recreation Ministry will be taking a team to Mead, CO, from July 9–16 to help support a Go Love Tell 2021–2025 partner church, Grandview Church. The church was planted in 2017 and has put on a sports camp for 4yr olds–5th grade for four years. This is a massive outreach to the community. COVID has taken its toll on this faith family, as it has in many areas. So, we are going to help and support. This week there are many ways you can serve, you could be a specific sports instructor, a huddle coach (Bible study) and rally/worship leader.
Cost: $750          Team Leader: Kasey Hagen
