Get W.I.S.E. There was another fantastic month of Get WISE! Activities this month were provided thanks to Trimon and David. The youth were able to enjoy wonderful talks from David and Trimon, Uncle Vincent Young, and Chris Breland; they all gave wonderful talks about different virtues such as honesty, filial piety, and responsibility.

Get WISE is really interesting and fun. The best part is hanging out beofre talks and playing games. What I learned through the talks is that the relationship with your parent is like the relationship you have with God. Also that you first learn about relationships through your parents. if your relationship with your parents are bad, then your relationships with other people are not that great. -Haruna Kanazawa

BC Bash The BC Bash this month was a blast! With all the snow that Columbus has been having, we decided to build an igloo! Most of the time was spent on the igloo, but everyone worked very hard and had a fun time. When the igloo was finished, everyone came in for a warm bowl of chili and a fantastic testimony / talk from our wonderful brother Andreas Culbertson.

More Youth Ministry Fun Middle School Girls Group This month there was one Middle School girls group meeting since the workshop was last month. The day was filled with ice breaker games, a big group game of Taboo, lots of snacks thanks to wonderful parents, fantastic fellowship, and a talk given by Yoko Bihary about relationships. The next get together is still undetermined, but more information will come soon from Aunt Susan.
