NEW and IMPORTANT-
Parenting Generation Screen Booktalk- A few months ago we shared with all our families the book “Parenting Generation Screen” by Jonathan McKee. Hopefully you had the opportunity to read it and have had discussions in your home and possibly with others that are in your family’s circle of friends about screen time.
On Monday, April 20 at 6:00 PM in the Family Life Center, I will be hosting an opportunity for families to get together to talk through questions about the book, what screen time means to them and how to work together to not only protect our children but to set boundaries and partnerships in this technological age.
The forum is for adults only. If you are interested in attending the forum, please fill out this registration form by Friday, April 17.
The goal is to have open dialogue and to help our Christian families work together for the betterment of our impressionable children.
Faithfulness Chapel Service – Our chapel service is currently on the St. Paul Facebook page. It will be posted soon on https://vimeo.com/showcase/6524037.
