Parables Buddy Program Information Sessions- Sunday, February 25
Session 1: 10:10-10:40 a.m. or Session 2: 11:30 a.m.-12 noon (Pizza and drinks will be provided following this session) in the Colonnade
Attention all 13-25 Year Olds! Come join us at our first (ever) Information Session in February and learn how you can get involved in an immediate way to “Inspire the world with the inclusive love of Jesus.”
The Parables Ministry will be launching a Parables Buddy Program on February 25, and we would love to have you join us. Parables is a Sunday morning worship service and ministry designed to empower people with disabilities and special needs. It’s a sacredly chaotic time where people of ALL abilities come together to celebrate who God uniquely created each of us to be. We have lots of opportunities to get involved— weekly to occasional events — with both long- and short- term commitments. We will provide all the necessary training. Smiles and hugs are a guarantee.
This is also a great resume builder for college and job applications down the road. We hope to see you there!

Last weeks Happenings:
WEDNESDAY CROSSROADS
We had a great Valentines Day and Ash Wednesday with our topic being trust. We had some really good conversations with our small group about what trust means and who earns our trust and who has broken our trust.
SUNDAY SEEDS
We talked about the miracle of Jesus healing Jairus’ daughter and how Jesus was never too busy to be interrupted. He was in balance. The compassion that Jesus demonstrated in this miracle should bring reassurance that He is not too busy with the rest of the world to care for me individually. We talked about how we handle interruptions in our lives and how we can be better at handling interruptions.

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.
