For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

MEALS FOR THE LEARNING CENTER
Classes will resume at The Learning Center this August. One of the ways we provide for our students is by ensuring that they don’t try to learn on an empty stomach. By serving lunch each class day, we are able to meet the physical needs of our students and make it easier for them to find success in the classroom.
If you are interested in serving this ministry by providing lunch for our students, please sign up using our Take Them A Meal list at dawsonchurch.org/tlclunch. Specific needs and suggestions for meals are provided on the Take Them A Meal site. If you would like more information, please contact David Vining, Dawson’s new director for The Learning Center.
