The Ultimate DNow 2011 Post

Whether you’re a student or a parent, everything you need to know about DNow 2011 is right here.

The links below will connect you to the documents that were distributed at our parent meeting:

Doors open on Friday at 5:00. Every student has to check in. There will be a check-in table at the entrance to the atrium where you will check your luggage, pay any remaining balance, and turn in any “time away” forms. Dinner is at 6:00 so you don’t have to be here right at 5:00 but the closer to 6:00 you get, the longer the check-in line will be.

Once a student is checked in, they will get instructions at dinner and roll from there.

Students will not reunite with their parents until Sunday after church. When the 11:00 service is over, students will collect their luggage from the student suite or from the host’s vehicle, go home, and NAP! There are no HS Life Groups meeting Sunday night.

From 5:00 Friday until 12:15 Sunday there will be much to do. Most of it is covered in the schedule you can download above, but there are also a few surprises.   

You also need to be aware of our missions collections. We are so excited to be partnering with Streets and Lanes Ministries to collect 500 cans of bug spray at DNow to be distributed to homeless individuals and families in our area as the weather warms and mosquitoes become a problem. In addition, we are taking an offering Saturday night with a set goal of $1500 to provide a safe home for the Lopez family in El Salvador. They have 4 children and currently live in unsafe conditions. $1500 will provide for a brand new “ground up” home for them. Hillcrest’s own El Salvador mission team will be constructing the home. We believe with all our hearts that these students are more than capable of achieving this goal. These are not “required” for DNow participants. These are opportunities that we are offering our students to demonstrate their worship of God through their generosity. We look forward to seeing the results!

If you have any questions or concerns regarding DNow 2011, please contact us here or call Joyce at 476-2233.

We’re looking forward to this weekend and what God is going to do in the lives of the teenagers at Hillcrest!
