Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

August Memory Verse

MEALS FOR THE LEARNING CENTER
Classes will resume at The Learning Center this August. One of the ways we provide for our students is ensuring they don’t try to learn on an empty stomach! By serving lunch each class day, we meet the physical needs of our students and make it easier for them to find success in the classroom. If you would be interested in serving this ministry by providing lunch for our students, you can 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.
