Last Sunday morning in THE Q, to set up the Bible lesson, we had the middle schoolers anonymously write down how they would complete the above statement. I wanted to share their answers with you.
- If only my family had more money, then I would be happy.
- If only I had true friends, then I would be happy.
- If only I could be smarter, then I would be happy.
- If only I could be faster, then I would be happy.
- If only I had more time, then I would be happy.
- If only I had a dance studio in my house, then I would be happy.
- If only I was better at soccer, then I would be happy.
- If only I got better grades, then I would be happy.
- If only my parents lived together, then I would be happy.
- If only I could be prettier, then I would be happy.
- If only I could be more athletic, then I would be happy.
- If only I could be more popular, then I would be happy.
- If only I could be more loved, then I would be happy.
- If only I could be a better person, then I would be happy.
- If only I could have a better relationship with God, then I would be happy.
- If only I was doing what I loved, then I would be happy.
- If only I had the love of Christ in my heart, then I would be happy.

High School Guys Camping Trip & High School Gals Camping Trip
Summer Wednesdays
From June 14-Aug 9, we will have a youth activity every Wednesday. We will do a Wednesday Morning Prayer time (instead of Mondays like last summer) from 10-12 at our new church location. It will be for both middle and high schoolers and we will likely meet separately since we'll have a middle school room and high school room in the new classroom building! We will routinely go out to lunch after morning prayer, or bring bag lunches and hang at the new property. We also will schedule our weekly youth activities on Wednesdays, so block those off if you can! Things like Hanging Rock, City Lake Park waterslides, etc. Some will start at noon, right after morning prayer, while a few will happen in the evenings. We will get you the full summer calendar in April.
Camp Booyah
Camp Booyah is almost full. If you haven't signed your child up yet, the deadline is April 15th! Sign up with a $49 deposit on CampBooyah.com. The remaining payment is due by June 15th. Don't let money stop you from going. We have fundraisers!
