Click here to Register now! “DNow”stands for Disciple Now, a weekend is a weekend retreat for youth. This year, churches from all across the New Orleans Metro Area will participate in this exciting weekend hosted at FBNO. We will have one Friday night worship time and two on Saturday, with some breakout groups, host homes, and a lot of fun in between! DNow Weekends put a high premium on discipleship. There are Large Group sessions where a speaker can move the weekend’s theme along from a big-picture perspective, and there are super-intentional Small Group times where students go deeper with their individual small group leaders. It’s a focused time of spiritual growth and application. “Host Homes” are a key feature of DNow Weekends. A host home is where a family in the church agrees to host a Small Group for the weekend. Some youth ministries will bring back former students to lead a Small Group, or use the weekend as an opportunity to plug-in prospective adult volunteers. Regardless of who’s leading the Small Group, the leader & the students will meet in the host home for Bible Study (when they aren’t at the church for Large Group sessions, or other activities). They’ll usually spend at least one night there, usually two, and will sometimes eat a meal or snack with the host home family. Here is a full schedule for the weekend:
