DNOW Participation

I wanted to encourage those who can to take an active part in this year's DNOW. Aaron has came to us and asked us to be thinking of any area that we can help them out. Please get in touch with me or Aaron if you have any questions. Below is a list of areas that they are needing volunteers:

Host Home Families
Host homes will provide a place to stay for a group of students for the entire weekend, Friday night through Sunday morning. They open their homes for the students to dive into discipleship and to fellowship as the weekend progresses. They will be responsible to help transport the students in their homes, along with the help of the co-host (see below). Host home families will also be responsible for providing Saturday breakfast and lunch with the provided budget given by the church. This is a vital role because this is the place where lives will be changed for the glory of Christ. We will need 15 host homes, as well as 5 back up homes who are willing to step in at the last minute.

Co-Host (Transportation and Meals)
Co-hosts will be a second hand to the host home families. These people will help the host home with all transportation during the weekend. They will also help the host home family cook and serve the Saturday morning breakfast and lunch. You will be an active participant with the weekend and the students in this role. When you volunteer for this, please let us know how many students you will be able to help transport. We are looking for 15-20 co-hosts.

Food Crew (Shelby)
This crew will help Shelby serve the food and clean up after the meals on Thursday evening, Saturday evening, and Sunday morning. This team will be composed of six individuals.

Clean-Up Crew
This crew will be responsible for helping to clean up and set-up the facilities after each event held at the church. We are looking for a group of 8 people to help out during each of the following times: Thursday evening, Saturday dinner, Saturday evening, Sunday morning.

Recreation Team
This group of people will serve during the Saturday afternoon recreation time. They will help to man and referee the inflatables, as well as interact with the students. Each person will be trained that day for their specific role. We are looking for 15 people to serve on the recreation team.

Prayer Warriors
This person would begin now by bathing the D-Now weekend in prayer. As the weekend approaches this person would begin to pray over the events that will be taking place, as well as for the host home families and the discipleship group leaders that will be involved in the weekend. A prayer warrior would pray during and throughout the weekend for the spiritual lives of the students. This is a great way to be a part of the weekend! We are looking for 20 prayer warriors.

Scholarships
This person would give financially to help a student(s) receive a scholarship to Disciple Now Weekend. Monetary donations can be placed in the church offering in an envelope marked “D-Now Scholarships” or can be given directly to Laura Snowden in the church office.

Sunday Breakfast
This team of people would help to prepare, cook, serve and clean-up the Sunday morning breakfast for the students. We will need 10 volunteers for this task.
