Disciple Now 2012–Signup list

Griff Servati — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 01:50:34 GMT

What is Dnow? It is part sleepover, part camp for students. One of the best parts is the college/young adult leaders who come to spend time with our small groups. Each small group of like gender and age students stay in 'host homes' in our community. This year we are studying about Surrender in the following areas: Stuff, Sin, Status and Self. We also will have a team movie making competition, fun group games, great worship band and speaker. All of this is packed into Friday night through Sunday morning!
Cost: First timer rate $40; Regular Rate $45, $25 each additional child. Full and Partial scholarships available upon request when completing registration form.

Disciple Now 2012

Griff Servati — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 20:09:44 GMT

March 23-25

Student Registration Cost is $45 per student and $25 for each additional family member. Scholarships are available for those that would like to attend but the cost is the issue.

Volunteer Signup We need your help! Look over the list of need areas and select those that fit the best.

What Are You Holding On To? Surrender typically implies weakness, loss and defeat. Can you actually gain something by giving up? Jesus said that the only way to truly live is to fully surrender your life to Him.In these four challenging sessions, students share real-life stories about their own struggles and triumphs in surrendering to Christ. Francis Chan examines Scripture to show students that it is only through surrendering to God that they can become who God wants them to be. SURRENDER!

How to not spend you thanksgiving day.....

Griff Servati — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:07:40 GMT

Okay, we all know what the holiday will be like. Lots of food, football on television, odd ancient relatives with more hair coming out of their ears than on their head, and, between the kisses from over-perfumed aunties, lots of boredom.

But did you ever think that maybe this holiday YOU could make a difference on the enjoyment meter? We know that the tendency is for you to disappear into your own world on your smartphone or portable computer thingy, or just hang with your dopy cousins and be bored together. So, these ideas will help make your Thanksgiving the best one you’ve ever experienced and endear you to your family members.

• Ask older people to tell you stories about their life. What was living on a farm like? What was life like for you during the war? What was it like to use a pay phone? How was being a teenager in those days different than today? Did you really see the Beatles play live? Etc. You might find hidden treasure sitting on your living room sofa!

• Be the designated photographer. Shoot photos of family members – especially the ones you don’t see often. Get everyone’s e-mail address and email copies of your photos to everyone.

• Clear the table, do the dishes, take out the trash – but do it intentionally. Recast yourself as the “Busboy” – you’re trying to BLESS the adults, so take the initiative and get things cleaned up before anyone can even ask to do it. You’ll be amazed at how much fun you can have doing these kinds of chores with a go-for-it attitude!

• If someone beats you to the Busboy job, then you choose to be the “Waiter” or “Waitress.” Refill people’s drinks, bring out more appetizers, ask whether anyone needs anything… all the actions that good waiter or waitress would do to earn a tip – but you do it to bless everyone else!

• If people will be watching football, volunteer to make things a little more interesting. Here’s an idea to try: take “bets” on the game (not just win/lose, but maybe point spread, or will this next play be a run or a pass, etc.) Figure out a way to track the standings of the participants. The grand winner gets his or her car washed by you!

• Organize some Thanksgiving games for the little kids. The adults will think you’re a hero! Here are some ideas:

• Pin the Tail on the Turkey

• Turkey Trivia (You can find Thanksgiving trivia or quizzes online.)

• Create a flag-football game with the little kids that you play in the backyard.

• Play “Marco-Turkey” – it’s like “Marco Polo” that you play in a swimming pool, but you play this in the garage or smaller roped off area. Blindfold one “Pilgrim” who has to tag the “turkeys” (the other kids who are crawling around on all fours.

What's happening over thanksgiving break?

Griff Servati — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:00:20 GMT

We will not be meeting on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, but we will be having some stuff to do over the break!
