What is DiscipleNow (DNow) anyway?
DNow involves five major elements:
|
County-Wide Kickoff Rally |
Small Group Home Bible studies (groups sleep at host homes) |
Church-Wide Group Activity |
Saturday Night Rally |
DNow Finale (during Sunday School) |
| Large Group Kickoff Rally - The rally's purpose is to introduce the DNow theme to the students. This year all DNow participants will gather at Decatur Baptist Church on Wednesday night, February 1 @ 6:30pm for a worship service led by the Christian band - Charlie Hall. There are typically 1,400 in attendance. |
 |
Small Group Home Bible Studies - Students will stay in the homes of your church members Friday and Saturday night. Typically, one or two sessions will be taught Friday night, two more will be taught on Saturday, and one during the DNow Finale on Sunday morning (during Sunday School or whenever you decide to have the Finale). You can use youth workers, parents, and college students to lead these sessions. These small groups are great because students have a chance to really dive into the theme. There should typically be no more than 12 students in any one home (divided by gender and age).
Church-Wide Group Activity - This activity occurs on Saturday afternoon. Your student ministry could take part in an fun event, a mission experience, free time, or any number of activities that you could plan for them.
DNow Saturday Night Rally - This rally brings all of the students together for worship and a challenging message. This year's rally will be held at Decatur Baptist Church. We will have one large rally from 7-9pm.
DNow Finale (during Sunday School...or whenever you decide) - Sunday morning your students can come together for your DNow Finale, which could include a praise band, highlight video, and a challenging message to wrap up the weekend. Students should be encouraged to wear their DNow Wrist Bands that morning.
