Disciple Now

Want plans from January 16th-18th? Join us at Disciple Now at Christ Fellowship Church, Mansfield. DNOW is filled with fun, friends, and games! I went to DNOW at my church last year, and at first I wasn’t sure I wanted to, but it was so much fun, and I’m so glad I went. We spend the nights of the 16th and 17th at host homes. We go home to our families after church on Sunday. If you can’t or don’t want to spend the night at host homes, we have people to drop you off, or your parents can come and get you. This is an opportunity to build friendships and deepen your relationship with Jesus. It is for grades 8th-12th. Sign-ups end January 10th. The cost is $50 a person, and that covers all meals and a place to stay, but guess what…? FRIENDS COME FREE! It is such a blast, hope to see you there!
