And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing

BRYAN HOWARD ORDINATION SERVICE
Sunday, February 26, 6:00 p.m., Chapel
The Dawson Family Faith is pleased to announce that Bryan Howard will be ordained to the Gospel Ministry on Sunday, February 26. Please join us for this special worship service at 6:00 p.m. in the Chapel. Childcare by reservation only. Please send childcare reservations to Donna Allan at dallan@dawsonchurch.org.
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 across from our Sanctuary on Oxmoor Road where there is ample parking for everyone? Parking there will leave the spaces that are closer 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, we ask that you please take note of the areas that are specifically designated for guests, handicapped spaces, senior adults, and for our Hearts & Hands families. These areas are clearly marked with signage.
Another way to be a good neighbor to those who live around the church is to avoid parking along curbs on the streets adjacent to the church. We greatly appreciate your help with this matter.
