What's Happening

COLLIDE CHOIRS SPRING MUSICAL

Wednesday, March 20, 6:30 p.m., Chapel
In a galaxy far away, and in a future not too distant, the crew of spaceship Star Quest J-316 is on a mission: bringing the Word of God to people all across the galaxy. As they travel from planet to planet, they learn the importance of hiding God’s Word in their hearts­—especially in the face of evil.  

On March 20, the Collide Choirs will present “Star Quest” in the Chapel at 6:30 p.m. Mark your calendar to come and support the Collide Choirs (Grades 1st-5th) as they share the importance of God’s Word in a fun and innovative way.

March Memory Verse

For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience..

First time to volunteer? New volunteers are placed with veteran KidLife teachers. Classes rotate through various activities throughout the morning, and all training, curriculum, and supplies will be provided for you. Adults and students can learn more about KidLife and sign up to serve at dawsonchurch.org/KidLife.
