Abide
“O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.” Psalm 63:1
WOMEN'S NIGHT OF WORSHIP
A Women’s Night of Worship is more than an event—it’s an invitation to step into the presence of God and experience His love in a profound way. Take a moment to pause, gather with sisters in Christ, and let the presence of God fill your heart with His love. This will be a space for you to experience soul refreshment and spirit renewal as we worship in song, through Scripture, in prayer, and in reflective moments together in Christ. Registration is not required. Women's Night of Worship is offered twice annually, in the winter and summer. We hope to see you there!
QUIET RETREATS
Daytime experiences are offered in March and September in locations on and off campus. They typically last three to six hours. You only need to bring your Bible, journal, pen, and a water bottle. Additional information for being prepared for a daytime quiet retreat will be included upon registration (for example: bring an outdoor chair, blanket, sack lunch, etc.). Overnight experiences are offered in April and October at a retreat space within an hour of Birmingham. They typically begin on a Friday night at dinner and end before dinner on Saturday night. Cost, location, directions, packing list, and other details will be provided upon registration as well. Personal quiet retreats can be incorporated into your personal rhythms of work and rest. We encourage you to use the podcast links below to begin your own retreat. If you are interested in gathering a group together for a quiet retreat experience at Dawson, in town, at Camp Dawson, or beyond, please contact Kristen Torres. To see upcoming events, please check our event calendar.

IMMERSE
Immerse is a unique invitation to abide in Christ by stretching and strengthening your mind, body, and soul by meditating on God’s Word, literally moving through Scripture with stretch sequences, breath prayers, and more. Immerse is offered in the spring and fall on Wednesday evenings, as well as in the summer on Thursday mornings. Please click here to see current offerings. The class is also offered through our Recreation Ministry at various times.
