But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9

Beginning Sunday, July 5

In cooperation with the Mask Ordinance issued by the Jefferson County Health Department, we ask that everyone attending in-person worship services at Dawson wear a mask beginning Sunday, July 5. No mask? No worries! We will have disposable masks onsite if you need one. 

This month we are collecting back-to-school supplies for students in Coy, Alabama, our adopted community in the Black Belt region of South Alabama. Your donations are greatly needed and appreciated. Collection tubs are located at the Church Office and the Welcome Desk in the Arendall Building.

Please make your donations by Sunday, July 26. If you have any questions or if your family would like to help deliver the backpacks at our Coy Mission Project Event on Saturday, August 1, please contact David and Denise Bivin at dbivin3@gmail.com.

Due to the delayed opening of Dawson’s Kids Connection ministry, all donations have been temporarily suspended as of July 1. We will return to accepting donations at a later time this fall.

We are excited to host a modified Basketball Camp experience this summer within CDC guidelines. There will be modified exercises and drills throughout the week, but the same quality of camp will remain. The second week of Basketball Camp for completed 1st–5th graders is July 27–July 30 from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Dawson Recreation's Basketball Director, Mo Finley, will lead. You may have seen Mo at Dawson on the court working with local youth from our area. Mo is a former professional basketball player and has become a nationally/internationally known basketball skills trainer (One Finley Way). Mo uses his talents and experience to develop basketball skills in young players, as well as influence them to grow in their faith. The cost is $125/week. Please register at dawsonchurch.org/recreation.

Wednesday, July 15, 6:00 p.m., Fellowship Hall

The Dawson Sanctuary Orchestra invites you to join us for Orchestra Lab in the Fellowship Hall. Each summer we gather for an hour to play some hymns, worship songs, and a few new anthems. It's a lab and not a rehearsal. That means we try new things out, make mistakes, and try again. If you have ever played or are currently playing a band/orchestra instrument, come join us for this fun night. If you've ever wondered what the orchestra music was like, this is the perfect opportunity to sit in and check it out. No registration is needed, and the evening is free. Come join with other musicians and discover how you can use your talent to worship the Lord.

Tuesday, July 14, 11:30 p.m., Online
