September Memory Verse

HELP NEEDED WITH SUNDAY & WEDNESDAY PARKING
Church family, please help us accommodate our guests and those who need close-proximity parking when coming to Dawson each week. As we gather for church on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings, would you please park in our Parking Building that is directly across from our Sanctuary on Oxmoor Road where there is ample parking for everyone? Parking there will leave the spaces that are closer to our church buildings available for guests who are navigating their way around our campus and for our senior adults who may have mobility concerns. Additionally, we ask that you please take note of the areas that are specifically designated for guests, handicapped spaces, senior adults, and our Hearts and Hands Families. These areas are clearly marked with signage.
Another way to be a good neighbor to those who live around the church is to avoid parking along curbs on streets adjacent to the church. We greatly appreciate your help.
