Here’s everything you ever wanted to know about DNOW(DiscipleNow). Looking forward to spending an awesome weekend with you all. Our study for the weekend is called “Outcast” and is centered around John 4:1-30. ~Tisha
Important info:
Arrive at Memorial at 4:15pm on Friday Feb 17th to load up. The bus will leave at 4:30pm sharp!
If you have not paid, please do so. Be sure to select the “Rooted Student DNOW” fund. Cost is $55 per student.
What to Bring:
- Your Bible (Phones will not be allowed during Bible Study time) If you don’t have one, no problem, I’ll bring extras.
- Cash for Wendy’s on the way to Branson. Our fun activity is near an arcade, no money required but if you want to play extra games you can bring a small amount.
- Comfy appropriate clothes
- Tennis Shoes
- Coat – sometimes we’ll be outside
- Your look good, smell good stuff (hairdryers, shampoo, conditioner, and soap are provided)
- Swimsuit & T-shirt – both boys and girls need to wear a T-shirt over their suit – no exceptions.
That’s how we roll folks. - Swim towel
- Water bottle
- Snacks if you want them
You do NOT need sheets, pillow, or bath towels. That is all provided. Everyone will have a bunk bed or king size bed to share in a lovely bedroom. You are paired with the folks you know the best so the sleeping situation should be fine. The house is 3 floors with girls and boys on separate floors and adults on each floor. If you prefer not to share a bed (queen or king) with someone else, please bring an air mattress and sleeping bag. 5 adults will be chaperoning. The house is located in Chateau Cove, Branson, MO.
Health:
If you take medications, please give them to Sara upon arrival at the church Friday with instructions.
Temperatures will be checked before we leave. Please be mindful of others and do not get on the bus if you are sick.
If a student gets sick on the trip, we will isolate them as best we can to one bedroom until a parent can pick them up.
Rules:
We are respectful to others and our attitudes should reflect Christ always.
Use your phone appropriately and only when needed. We’re here to build relationships.
All trash on the bus needs to go in the trash can.
You will be allowed to walk around the community, but only in groups of 3 or more.
We will take care of the house and leave it in excellent shape.
Boys and girls wear shirts while swimming.
Students will be in rooms from 11pm-6am. You’ll need your rest to keep up with me 🙂
