Lottie Moon was a courageous, pioneering Southern Baptist missionary who served in China at the turn of the 20th century. The mission offering that bears her name is used exclusively to help provide day-to-day support for missionaries sent around the globe by Southern Baptist churches. Your gift to The Lottie Moon Offering for International Missions keeps our missionaries on the field sharing the gospel. Offering envelopes are available in the Church Office if you would like to give. Thank you for helping fulfill the great commission with your gifts to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.

As we aim to care for one another and mitigate the spread of COVID19, at Dawson, please wear a face mask when you are not able to maintain six feet of distance from those outside your household. This is one way we can show our love and care for one another. We are so glad to be able to worship together and engage in Life Groups, and ministry opportunities in modified ways. We want to be able to continue to do so and we can all help by following a few simple practices:

• Wear a mask or face covering.
• Wash & sanitize your hands often.
• Practice social distancing: stay at 
least 6 feet away. 
• Don’t touch your face.
• Cover coughs and sneezes.
• Disinfect surfaces and belongings.
• Stay home if you feel sick

If you have any symptoms of illness, please do not attend. Enhanced facility cleaning, expanded air filtration, and other mitigation strategies have been implemented at Dawson to provide a safe environment for all ministry areas, Life Groups, and worship.

You are invited to discover Switzerland, Austria, and Bavaria with the Dawson travel group on a 10-day tour (September 9–18, 2022), which climaxes with a performance of the Passion Play in Oberammergau, Germany. This world-famous event dates back to 1634 and normally occurs every 10 years. Seats are very limited because of worldwide demand and must be reserved far in advance. The 2020 event was re-scheduled for 2022 because of COVID-19. We have a few seats available for this tour on a first-come, first-served basis.
