Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Colossians 3:16

Summer 2020 may look different than we originally planned, but our Hispanic VBS ministry team is still excited to offer VBS TO-GO! On Sunday, August 2, families will pick up VBS TO-GO boxes, which include five days of content that can all be done safely at home. Children will get to participate in hands-on activities including a virtual experience for each day. As we prepare for this intentional week of ministry, will you please pray for us?

• Pray for the Hispanic Congregation as they disperse VBS TO-GO boxes in the coming weeks to friends and families in their neighborhoods.
• Pray that the Holy Spirit would work in the life of each child that receives and experiences a VBS TO-GO Box.
• Pray that this unique outreach opportunity will open new doors and provide new opportunities to minister to those we might not otherwise be able to reach.

Sundays, Beginning September 13, 10:00 a.m., via Zoom

Our world is ever-changing, but never more than in our current times. The book of Proverbs offers us a radically different way of life where we live out of what is within us rather than what is around us. Join Julie Sparkman, Gospel centered counselor, public speaker, writer, and teacher, for a time of refreshment as we learn to live connected with our hearts on the journey God has for us.

Just as great works of art or beautiful music can turn our thoughts toward God, the creative expression of dance can also bring glory to Him. Ballet is a particularly beautiful form of dance that teaches discipline, grace, and poise; qualities that are also desirable in the Christian Life. Registration for the fall semester with Dawson Ballet is now open. All classes are taught in the Ballet Studio of the Family Recreation Center. Sign up today at dawsonchurch.org/ballet.

Gymnastics classes are a wonderful way to encourage motor development, coordination, and physical fitness for children of all ages.

Contact Jennifer Lay, Gymnastics Director, at (205) 527-5108 or email her at cgca001@charter.net. For more information, please visit dawsonchurch.org/gymnastics.
