JOHN WOODS CELEBRATES TEN YEARS OF MINISTRY AT DAWSON
On Sunday, June 25, we celebrate ten years of faithful ministry at Dawson with our Music and Worship Pastor, John Woods. John and his wife, Lindsay, came to Dawson in June 2013. They are the proud parents of Hudson, Emma, and Mason. In his role, John oversees the entirety of our church music program. He gives direction to the planning and execution of Sunday morning corporate worship and special music programs and outreach events at Dawson. John faithfully leads our Music & Worship Team not only in planning and executing biblically rich and culturally relevant worship experiences, but also in missional engagement in our community and beyond.
John is an integral part of our staff at Dawson. John relates well to different ages and appreciates a diversity of worship preferences. He provides unifying leadership that transcends personal preferences. You will not only see john leading an anthem, prayer, or Scripture readin on a Sunday morning, but he also serves in other ministry areas such as a Disciple Now small group leader, as a chaperone for student ministry Breakaway camp, and leading worship at a college ministry retreat. Please join us in taking time this week to pray for and express your appreciation for John.

ORCHESTRA LAB
Wednesday, June 28, 6:00 p.m., Social Hall
Ever wondered what it was like to play with the Sanctuary Orchestra? If you have at least one year of experience, currently play or used to play a band/string instrument, then come join us for Orchestra Lab in the Social Hall. Each summer we gather to try out some hymns, worship songs and a few new preludes. It's a lab and not a rehearsal. That means we try things out, make mistakes and try again. Come join with other musicians and discover how you can use your talent to worship the Lord.
