SUMMER WEDNESDAY MORNING RE-GROUP
Middle schoolers are invited to our summer Wednesday morning program! We’ll play games, get to know one another, eat snacks, and have an interactive lesson with small group discussion.
HURTS DONUT DROP-IN
Jodi and Joe will be hanging out at Hurts Donut in West Des Moines! Middle school students can drop in and get a free donut anytime between 9 and 11 am. Even if you stay for just a few minutes we’d love to see you!
LOVE YOU DES MOINES DAYS SERVICE TEAM
We’re looking for middle school students who are willing to roll up their sleeves, love our community, and serve during Love You Des Moines Days! Our middle school team will meet each morning for training and a pep talk, then we’ll help with various Love You Des Moines Days activities for about 90 minutes, then end our time with lunch and some team building each day. We’ll have a final team celebration on Thursday from noon – 1 pm.
Are you in 6th grade or can’t be on the Service Team? We encourage you to sign up with your parents to help at one activity during Love You Des Moines Days!

NIGHT @ THE VCC

TREASURED STUDY
We are excited to invite all moms and their 6th grade daughters to Treasured, a study to connect moms and tween daughters. Treasured will focus on the following critical issues for girls in the preteen phase: identity, body image, emotions, friendships, technology and faith. This study is a great way to initiate important conversations and help moms and daughters navigate this season together, strengthening the bond between them.
ADVENTURELAND
Enjoy the rides all day with your friends and leaders! Admission to the Adventure Bay water park is included. If students want to swim they can bring a swim suit. Guys-No Speedos. Girls-Wear a one-piece suit or a two-piece suit with a dark t-shirt on top. Email michelles@valley.church if you need help with transportation.
For students who already have a season pass or will be obtaining a ticket elsewhere, please register and use the promo code PASS. This will allow you to register at a steep discounted rate. There will still be a nominal fee of $5 to help cover event expenses in addition to student tickets.
Please note that Adventureland is cashless. We can help students operate machines that convert cash to cards at no charge.
BAPTISM SUNDAY
Baptism is an important moment in the lives of Christ-followers! Students will have the chance to get baptized at any of the Sunday morning worship services. To get baptized, middle schoolers must complete the following three steps:

6TH GRADE BOOT CAMP
No, this is not like army boot camp. This is a laid-back, relaxed, fun place for 6th graders to spend some time together before the school year starts. We will play games and have a short talk about things like school, friends, and peer pressure. We will also eat lunch together (bring your own lunch) and spend time connecting as a 6th grade class.
