Get W.I.S.E. There was another fantastic month of Get WISE! Activities this month were fun and some were even done outside. The youth were able to enjoy wonderful talks from Trimon and David about different levels of love.

“Get WISE is spectacular! This month we learned about love. I learned how God’s love, my love, and my family’s love is priceless. I’ve learned so much and have lots and lots of fun. I’ve made many memories at Get Wise. And will continue to come EVERY WEEK!!” - Minna Akutsu

“Get WISE is so much fun! I didn’t live in Columbus before when there were Bible Studies, but I heard such great news about it, which was why I was so excited for Get WISE. Trimon and David are so good at coming up with games every week to keep us having fun, and the talks are always so genuine and from the heart. They taught everyone so much about love this past month and it really got me thinking about God’s love and the love within our own families. Every week is another adventure that I always look forward to!” -Yoko Bihary

Youth Bash BC Bashes are now Youth Bash! This month we went to Carriage Place Park for a game. After the game, everyone came back to eat lasagna. Following dinner was a big group discussion about what it means to be a Unificationist. The night concluded with lots of fellowship and high energy.

“I always enjoy coming to the B.C. Bashes (or Youth Bashes, as they’re now called) for many reasons. One is the always-fun activities, even if they don’t always work out as well as they could. Another would be the testimonies, as they always grant a lot of insight into our communty. I really enjoyed this latest testimony because instead of one person giving a testimony, many people gave their opinion on what being a Unificationist means to them. There was some repetition of ideas, but in my opinion, this only reinforced the true feeling of unity that is shared between all of us.” - Sebastian Olsson

More Youth Ministry Fun Middle School Spring Retreat

March 26th & 27th, 2 PM—11 AM The middle school group was combined this month to do a retreat at Magic Mountain. The boys and girls gathered for a fun trip starting at the Lamson’s house. Each person was given around 20 tokens to enjoy in the arcade, they were also to stay in groups of at least two while going around. After the fun afternoon at Magic Mountain, everyone returned to the Lamson’s house for a pizza dinner. The girls and boys split up for a night full of movies and laughter. The next morning, everyone joined together for a pancake breakfast. The weekend was short, but was filled with tons of fun!

Open Mic “Oh my gosh, open mic is always so much fun to go to! I love it! This time there was a lot of dancing, that was so cool to watch! I’m definitely going to the next one!” - Tami Reese

Guys’ Night “Guys Night (AKA MANifest) was amazing! Loads of video games and snacks, and tons of fun, and very few hours of sleep, if any. To top off the event, we all did Hoon Dok Hae at 5:00 a.m. Boys be boys.” - Ethan Young
