Members of EVERY mission trip will gather together on Friday, May 31st for our Mission Team Overnight. The overnight begins at 6:30pm in the Student Ministries Worship Room. Student should please eat dinner beforehand! When kids arrive on Friday, there will be separate check-in stations for each individual trip. Students should check-in at the appropriate station and hand in any missing paperwork at that time. (If you are unsure what paperwork you or your child needs, please check the previous posts below for each trip. Norfolk Team members do not need to turn in any paperwork at this meeting except for the Chapel's Parental Consent Form, which we should have on file if your child went on the Ski Trip this year.)
Students, leaders, and staff will all be sleeping at the church, so please make sure your child brings a sleeping bag, pillow, and toiletries (toothbrush, deodorant, etc.). We do NOT have showers at the church, so only a hand-towel (for washing their face) needs to be packed along with the other items.
On Saturday, students will need to wear athletic clothing and bring tennis shoes, as they will be participating in team-building exercises throughout the morning.
The overnight will end at NOON at the Chapel.
If you have any questions, please contact the appropriate staff member below.
Looking forward to a great weekend of preparation!

NC Mission Trip Meeting #1 on 5/15
We had a great meeting last night as we begun our preparations for all that God has in store for the team this summer down in North Carolina. Throughout our pre-trip training meetings we are going to be looking at Peter's encounter with God in Acts 10-11:18 if you would like to follow along or read through what your son or daughter is learning about. In Acts 11:17, Peter learned that God asked him to remove barriers that he established and in the same way Luke challenged the NC team to think through things in their life that God may be asking them to "Get Out of the Way."
If you missed the meeting or if you lost any of the forms handed out then links to all of the forms we handed out are below. The link below named "checklist" is a document that runs through everything you need from the first meeting and then the all of the other hyperlinks will take you to the actual forms needed for the trip.

Information from Nicaragua Training Mtg on 5/14
We had a great Nicaragua Team Meeting on Tuesday night, and went over a lot of important information. We ask that all families make sure they are familiar with the material covered at the meeting.
Attached is the Checklist for 5.14.13. On the second page of the checklist, you will find all of our transportation information for the trip. If you have any questions, contact Alexis at akincaid@wcchapel.org.
We also want to share with everyone the Discussion Questions from Tuesday's meeting. This year, we will be looking at Peter's encounter with God as a lens through which we might view our own encounter with God in Nicaragua. Luke walked us through Acts 10:1-23, and then we discussed the attached questions in small groups. Please feel free to continue the conversation as a family as you prepare for the trip.
Again, please make sure to read through the checklist (link above), as there are important deadlines and critical information concerning flights, our donation focus for the year, and future training meetings.
Finally, please make sure you are keeping records of all the financial support that you receive and that you are turning the checks/money in to Alexis as soon as possible. If someone has accidentally made a check out to YOU instead of to the Chapel, simply endorse the back and write "Payable to WCC" under your signature. This will ensure that the donor still receive the tax receipt for their donation.
If you need anything or have any questions, please don't hesitate to call or email. akincaid@wcchapel.org; 941-1241 (office) or 919-260-0719 (cell).
It's hard to believe we will be in Nicaragua in just over one month! Please be in prayer for our trip, all the details that will be coming together over the next few weeks, and for the people we will be serving. We are expecting nothing short of life transformation!
