For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38–39

Together in Giving & Serving
GENEROUS GIVING SUPPORTS THE DAWSON MISSION STATEMENT
During 2022, the generous giving of the Dawson Family of Faith has fulfilled our mission statement – “To Become and Help Others Become Faithful Servants of Jesus Christ” – in many ways and has allowed the ministries of Dawson to impact lives with the Gospel.
December 31 is the last day the IRS permits contributions to be given to Dawson for the 2022 tax year. Gifts must be received by the church or postmarked no later than midnight, December 31, 2022. For your convenience, the church office will be open on Friday, December 30, from 8:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. The church office will not be open on Saturday, December 31. If you are unable to get your contribution to the church by 6:00 p.m. on December 30, or have it postmarked by midnight, December 31, please call 205-871-7324 and we will assist you in any way that we can. Thank you for your faithfulness in giving to God’s ministries through Dawson in 2022 and your financial commitments for 2023.

MIDWEEK BIBLE STUDY
Wednesdays beginning January 11, 11:00 a.m. & 6:15 p.m., Social Hall
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: A Study of Angels & Demons
Many Christians live as though what we see with our physical eyes is all that there is in this world. However, the Bible teaches that there is another realm of supernatural and intelligent life that plays an important role in our world—angelic beings. This study, led by Pastor David, will explore the doctrine of angels, Satan, and demons, answering key questions about their nature and the implications for Christians’ beliefs and behavior. A biblical understanding of the unseen reality of angels and demons encourages believers to be vigilant in the light of spiritual warfare and to be confident in Christ’s victory on the cross.
