DNOW Weekend/ Youth Sunday
Join us for an awesome weekend of fellowship, fun and diving deeper into the WORD! This weekend’s theme is “Never Alone.” God provides for us in our loneliness and this study will remind us how we are never truly alone because of our friend, Jesus. Joshua 1:9 is our theme verse and encourages us to, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
We are excited to have a guest speaker with us to lead our big group sessions, Steven Nelson. Steven is a student minister from High Point, NC and has a passion for basketball and spreading the Gospel. Students will also have the opportunity to stay in host homes for the weekend and will dive into small group lessons with the people at their houses.
