MEA Crossroads
This week is a little different with MEA going on. On Wednesday evening for Crossroads (block 3- 6:30-8pm), we will meet at WCC at 6:30 and get checked in for the evening and then we will walk as a group to downtown Wayzata to enjoy some ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s. Please bring money to enjoy a treat. Friends are welcome!
Volunteer to bring food to our Students!
MS Sun AM DOUGHNUTS/POP TARTS/CEREAL, JUICE & FRUIT:
Please sign up to provide some sort of breakfast food or juice and fruit for our Middle Schoolers to enjoy on Sunday mornings while we are learning about the different people in the Bible. Please drop them off before 9am on Sunday morning outside of the Middle School Corner (off the West Entrance) OR DROP FOOD OFF THE WEEK BEFORE IF YOU WON’T BE AT CHURCH ON SUNDAY!
WEDNESDAY AFTER SCHOOL HEALTHY SNACKS:
Our Middle Schoolers are hungry right after school and appreciate a snack as they spend time with friends and work on homework. Please help provide healthy snacks for our Middle Schoolers after school. I usually provide some sort of variety of the following- fruit, cheese sticks, crackers, carrots with ranch, hummus, chips and salsa, microwave popcorn, etc. We have about 30 Middle Schoolers that show up. Please drop it off on the date stated or before!

Meet & Eat: A fun event for our Middle School Parents & Leaders
PARENTS join us for a night out! We will enjoy trying some appetizers at the new Red Rooster. Buy a drink, get to know your child’s Middle School Leaders & other Middle School Parents!
Middle School Parents are the number one faith provider in Middle Schoolers lives and we love helping you to do that! Our Middle School Leaders play an important role in the lives of our Middle Schoolers during these constantly changing years. Middle School Parents are invited to join us for this incredible opportunity for conversations with other Middle School parents about what it means to be parenting this beautiful ever-changing age. Get to know other parents at WCC and meet your Middle Schooler’s Leaders, but more importantly for our Middle School Team to meet YOU (and enjoy some yummy food while doing so!)

The Last Few Weeks
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3
- We talked about Be Loving and what that looks like. Christa shared a message about God’s huge love for us that we will never fully understand because it’s so big! We listened to the song Reckless Love to help us understand a little bit more about this crazy love. Click here to see what we talked about- Character- Be Loving
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7
- We talked about Noah and hearing his full story and playing a game about him.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10
- We heard a message from 7th grade leader, Will about being trustworthy and what that looks like. In our small groups, we talked about how being trustworthy is loving ourselves (6th grade), and is loving God (8th grade). To see what was talked about, click here- Character- Be Trustworthy
- Our 7th Graders and Parents/Guardians were at our second session of Milestones talking about the pressures we face as a 7th grader and how they might be different then when our parents were in 7th grade and our support stuctures in our lives.

Where’s CBW?
I LOVE SEEING WHAT MIDDLE SCHOOLERS ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT OUTSIDE OF WCC but getting their event schedule is pretty challenging sometimes! I need your help, please let me know about your middle schooler’s events (THINK PLAYS, GAMES, MUSICAL PERFORMANCES, SHOWS, SCHOLAR COMPETITIONS, ETC!)
Here’s how you can let me know about upcoming dates:
- Put a note in the Where’s CBW Mailbox in the Middle School Corner at WCC OR
- Fill out this quick 5 questions request to let me know when and where to go.
Thanks for letting me know! I try my best to make it to their events when I know about them.
