HELP NEEDED WITH WEDNESDAY AND SUNDAY PARKING

Church family, please help us accommodate our guests and those who need close-proximity parking when coming to Dawson each week. As we gather for church on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings, would you please park in our Parking Building that is directly acrross from our Sanctuary on Oxmoor Road where there is ample parking for everyone? Parking there will leave the spaces that are closter to our church buildings available for guests who are navigating their way around our campus and for our senior adults who may have mobility concerns. Additionally, please take note of the areas that are specifically designated for guests, those in handicapped vehicles, senior adults, and for Hearts & Hands families. These areas are clearly marked with signage.

Another way to be a good neighbor to those who live around Dawson is to avoid parking along curbs on the streets adjacent to the church. While we know that this may be an inconvenience to some and a simple thing to do for others, we greatly appreciate your help with this matter.
