What is DNow?

DiscipleNow (or DNow) is essentially an in-home weekend retreat for 7th – 12th grade students. The distinctive trait separating it from other retreats is that youth groups do not load up and head off to a secluded getaway for the weekend; instead, they pile into the homes of church members. Four to five Bible study sessions are lead in the homes. The idea behind DiscipleNow is to gather teenagers in their own environment, creating community by strengthening friendships through shared experiences and maturing them spiritually through focused discipleship. Students get steady exposure to God’s Word, interacting with it in various ways throughout the weekend. The non-stop time spent together encourages teenagers to open up, getting “real” with each other and with leaders over the course of the weekend.

Vertical – situated at the highest point.

Reality – that which has existence apart from any idea any mind may have of it, and which would exist if there were no mind anywhere to entertain a thought of it.

Our Father is situated at the highest point. When Isaiah wrote about his vision of God in Isaiah 6, he said he saw the LORD sitting on a throne ‘high and lifted up’. He is far from us, but through Jesus Christ – God who is ‘high and lifted up’ – has drawn near to us. We want all of us to become aware of the reality of what the gospel has done for us. It has given us access to God – we now have the spiritual capacity to relationally connect to God. It is not what we have done, but it is what God has done through His Son to make this a reality for all who will believe in Him.

Vertical Reality weekend is a retreat we take each spring to help us grow in using the ‘means’ God has given us to develop a real intimate relationship with Him. Each year we will focus on a spiritual habit, in the past we have studied, reading God’s Word, memorizing the Word, church, stewardship, worship, fasting and prayer, we engage in these spiritual habits as a means to get to the end and the end is to know and experience God more fully. That is our goal, our desire – to grow in our love and knowledge of Him so that we may live for Him in a world that desperately needs to know Him!

Who can attend? ALL students (7-12)

Dates: April 16-17

Cost: $35

Last day to sign up: Sunday, April 4

Re: Getting ready for DiscipleNow

We are thrilled that you are going to be a part of DiscipleNow. It is going to be a great weekend. You play an important part in getting the most out of the weekend. I would encourage you to begin praying now, asking God to do a needed work in your life. This letter is written to let you and your parents know as much as possible about what you need to do in order to get the most out of the weekend.

Schedule: The weekend begins on Friday, November 20, your student needs to be here at 6:00 PM. Students will have supper in the fellowship hall and you, the parent, will be given a prayer sheet and where your child is staying when you drop your child off so please come into the building. We were able to cut the cost of DNow to $40 per student, so if you have not paid this will be the cost for your child, if you have we will reimburse you on Friday, Nov. 20. DiscipleNow will conclude Sunday after church.

Car Permission Slip: Unless it is an absolute necessity we would rather students not drive to Host Homes. However, if you need to, you must fill out the “car permission slip” attached below. Notice that your parents and I must sign the card. Make sure I sign it before we leave the church on Friday night. When you have completed the card, give it to your host family or leader.

Time Away Card: If you have a calendar conflict already scheduled during DiscipleNow, complete the “time away card” below. It will need to be signed by you, your parents, and me, and taken to the Host Family at the beginning of DiscipleNow. If it is possible, we strongly encourage you to participate in the entire weekend event. The weekend is set up in such a way that everything builds on the prior session, so when you are unable to be at just one session – you are missing a lot.

Guidelines: An important part of the success of the weekend is your behavior. We want this weekend to be a great time for you, but for this great time to happen we need you to cooperate with the guidelines we have for the weekend. So you will know what we expect, we ask that you and your parents read through the guidelines and sign the bottom of the sheet. I must have this sheet on Friday for you to participate in the weekend.

Where You will be Staying: You will find out where you will be staying on Friday, Nov.20. Parents, if you need to know sooner, just call the office.

What to Bring:

• Bible, pen, and notepad
• Bedding (sleeping bag, pillow, etc.)
• Bathroom stuff (toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, etc.)
• Recreation and casual clothes
• Sunday clothes
• Snacks

· Bring whatever snacks you would like to share with others at your Host Home.

What to NOT to Bring:

This is discussed in guidelines.

DiscipleNow is going to be a great weekend, so begin praying and preparing for it—NOW! If you have any questions about the weekend, please give me a call.
