Together at Dawson

Ladies, you are invited to stop by one of the Welcome Desks beginning Sunday, November 26 for a complimentary Advent gift from Dawson Women’s Ministry. Our prayer for you, amidst the hustle and bustle, is that you may find places and spaces to “Prepare Him Room” this Christmas. Gifts are available at Next Steps, or at the Arendall and North Building Welcome Desks.

Last year, Dawson’s Student Ministry hosted over 300 students in grades 6-12 during Disciple Now weekend, and we are preparing for an amazing DNOW 2024. We cannot do this without the help of many volunteers. You can help by signing up to be a host home (we currently need homes to host guys), to be a small group leader, or to work with hospitality for the weekend. We need at least 60 small group leaders, 26 host homes, and numerous hospitality volunteers. Please help us make this a meaningful weekend for students by volunteering with us. Learn more on the website, or contact Karmin Lytle for more information.
