In the last few months it has become increasingly clear to me through our discussion talks and observations that our teens are struggling with self worth and identity due, in large part, to social media. So we rented this beach house for the weekend in order to get them away from their phones and to give them a place to explore important God-centered topics within the safety of their own gender.
Although most of the sessions revolve around identity, we will carefully tackle the issue of healthy and unhealthy relationships. We will also spend time educating them on the dangers of some risky social media apps and practices in which they or their friends might be engaging .
We want to reassure you that, though we will welcome any questions your daughter or son may have, we are committed to
- presenting biblical truths
- steering students toward a godly view of relationships
- honoring your sacred role as parents.
Below, you will find a list of topics we will explore this weekend. If you have any questions or if you would like to see the lessons we’ll be using, please call me at the church office or on my cell.
Thank you for the privilege of being a small part of your child’s journey toward a deeper and more mature faith.
