Looking forward to seeing your students as we look at Session 2 of our series "Post It" on Wednesday night! Don't forget the Spaghetti Dinner for our Parent Orientation this Wednesday, Sept. 18th starting at 6 pm! We are providing free dinner for all parents and students. It is a chance to hear about our vision for students and to get a glimpse into a typical Wednesday night.
Session Two of Post It: Likes
Bottom Line: You are MORE than what you post. We all have an image we want to project. We want to be seen a certain way. It's why we post our best pictures and make sure everyone knows the great plans we have for Friday night. But what if we're focusing on the wrong things? What if the reality of our daily life is just as important—and even more important—than the glimpses we let people see? What if what's going on inside is more important than what we show everyone from the outside?
Join us as we explore the role of social media in our lives today with your teens. We bet you can glean some truths that apply to you as well!
We’re Teaching This.....
Let's be honest. We've all been
guilty of painting a less-than-honest picture of ourselves or others through
social media. But the Bible reminds us that what we say—whether on-line or in
person—matters. How we talk about others, and ourselves, is important. And it
all starts with what's inside our hearts. So where do you need to rethink what
you say on-line? What things are you dealing with inside that need to stop
showing up on your newsfeed? What do you need to do to become the person you
want to be—not just the person you want everyone to think you are?
Sept 11th: Followers Bottom Line: What you post MATTERS. Sometimes it can feel like social media is the perfect outlet for everything we want to say. The positive. The negative. The hurtful. And without the face-to-face interaction, it can feel like the words we say are less powerful and less harmful than if they were said to someone’s face. But the truth is, what we say—what we post—matters. It determines how others see us. So what are you posting that helps? And what are you posting that hurts?
