September Memory Verse

Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died–more than that, who was raised–who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.
Romans 8:33–34

INVITE YOUR HISPANIC FRIENDS TO DAWSON Sunday, October 2, Next Steps

Here’s a great opportunity to invite your Hispanic friends to church. On Sunday, October 2 in the Next Steps Area of the Sanctuary Foyer you can pick up a Spanish New Testament to share with your friends. Each of these Bibles will contain a brochure that includes details about Dawson’s Hispanic Congregation that meets every Sunday morning in the Chapel at 11:00 a.m. Please feel free to take as many as you need to share these Bibles at work, school, or any social settings.

LEARNING CENTER VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

The Learning Center is a Dawson ministry seeking to break the generational cycle of poverty through adult education. We are working with individuals to earn a GED, learn to read, develop life and computer skills, and share the Gospel every step of the way. Our program operates like a school so we need instructors who can teach our students the subject matter of the GED. You don't have to be an educator. (We have engineers teaching Math, nurses teaching Science, and people who like to read teaching reading.) If you are interested in stepping into the classroom or substituting on occasion rather than teaching weekly, we would love to equip you to do that.

Together in Bible Study

MIDWEEK BIBLE STUDY Wednesdays, 11:00 a.m. & 6:00 p.m., Social Hall

“I believe.” These two words are among the most meaningful words any person can utter. The Apostles’ Creed has shaped and guided Christian faith for almost two thousand years. But do we know what it really means—and how it applies to us today? In this study, Pastor David will walk line-by-line through each section of the Creed, revealing its rich truths. The Apostles’ Creed is an often-overlooked treasure that contains the power to shape us for vibrant and steadfast living, equipping believers to live faithfully in today’s culture. For more information, please contact Jan Kennamer Hart at (205) 871-7324 or jkennamerhart@dawsonchurch.org.

QUIET RETREAT

This Fall, we’d like to invite women to experience a weekday quiet retreat at Dawson. The majority of this retreat will be personal time to commune with God through guided practices. We will begin and end our time in Scripture and discussing the importance of creating space in our life to retreat. Our prayer is that participants will experience soul refreshment and mind renewal. Retreat options include September 29, October 4, October 25, and November 3 from 9:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. Space is limited. Register at dawsonchurch.org/women.
