SERVE WITH DAWSON'S CHILDREN IN THE NEW CHURCH YEAR
Dawson Kids and Dawson Preschool Ministry are excited about a new church year and the opportunity to share God’s love and Word with preschoolers and children through weekly programming on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. Additional leaders are needed to join existing teaching teams to help support this great mission. Both ministries have needs during the 9:45 a.m. hour on Sundays year-round, and on Wednesday evenings, 6:00-7:15 p.m. during the school year.
Our Preschool Ministry (Infants–Kindergarten) also needs leaders on Sundays during the 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. hours. Additionally, Hearts & Hands, our special needs ministry for children ages birth through age 18, needs leaders at 8:30, 9:45, and 11:00 a.m. on Sundays.
We invite you to grow personally and taste the sweet reward of partnering with parents to build a foundation of faith in the lives of children. For more information about serving with one of these important ministries, please contact Brooke Gibson, Minister to Preschoolers, at bgibson@dawsonchurch.org or Meg Brown, Minister to Children, at mbrown@dawsonchurch.org.

SUMMER BOOK REVIEW
Monday, July 31, 10:00 a.m., 100 West
Please join us for the Summer Book Review on Monday, July 31 at 10:00 a.m. in Room 100 West. Dr. Andrea Mullins will review the book We Really Do Need Each Other by Reuben Welch. This is a beautifully written book leading readers to understand "that in Christ we belong together, and we really do need each other." When Welch, a Greek professor, became a college chaplain, the themes of First John–life, light, love–took on new meaning. Our pastor's sermon series on 1 John provides a perfect context for us to explore what it means that we share a common life in Jesus.
