Dnow- Being Thankful

After your Dnow weekend you need to stop and have a time of thanks. Of course you need to first stop and thank God for all that He did throughout the weekend.  But your thankfulness does not end there.  You also need to thank a few other people.  You need to thank your leaders for giving of their time to invest in your students and your ministry.  And I highly encourage you to thank your small group leaders with a paycheck if you can.  You need to thank your host homes for laying the safety of their home on the line for one weekend of possible life change for students.  And a gift card or two here might help to get that thankfulness message across.  You need to thank any support staff that you have because I can guarantee that they probably worked just as hard if not harder than you did.  And you need to thank your church as a whole for their support and prayers and let them know that all that did not go to waste.  This is important because not only is this the right thing to do but it also will help make next year easier as you try to pull everything together once again because people will be more ready to jump back in since they remember how appreciated they were the year before.
