Join us for our incredible DNOW weekend! This event is for current 7th-12th graders. Our speaker this year is Anthony Knight. He is the College/ Young Professional Pastor & Residency Lead Director at First Baptist Church of Woodstock. We will be lead in worship by Trace Co, who has been on many student camp circuits over the past few years! During this event, students will be broken up into Host Home Teams based on their age and gender. Students will have small group time and will stay the night in their Host Homes on Friday night and Saturday night. The goal of DNOW is for students to know Christ, grow in their walk with Christ, and be in genuine community with those around them! Throughout the weekend, we will participate in worship, small groups, competitive games, and study Scripture to engage students and have fun at the same time! Total Cost: $50.00 (Please fill out a form each student who is signing up) *If you would like to pay with cash or check, please come by the church office at 500 Alberta St, Enterprise, AL 36330 to drop off money and fill out the paper form. Below is a summary of the topics of the weekend: "[20] Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, [21] to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” - Ephesians 3:20-21 As humans, we can at times become nearsighted. We get consumed by what is right in front of us. Our world is only as big as conversations happening on the screen in our hands. Our routines hold us captive, and we go through life on “repeat.” This is true in our lives, and this is WAY truer in our faith. We can become nearsighted in our view of God as well. We forget that there is a God who is eternal. We lose sight of God's plan, missing the "way-more-than-we-could-possibly-imagine" future God has for the world and for us. But, it doesn't have to be this way. The truth is that God, the eternal, unchanging, all-powerful, gracious, loving God makes Himself known to us. We just have to WANT to know Him. ***Hey DNOW 2024 Participants! DNOW is here and we can’t wait to see what God does over this incredible weekend.
