Teens and tweens are exploding the use and popularity of social networking sites. Facebook and MySpace are two of the top ten internet sites in the world.
If your children aren’t using them yet, chances are they will be soon. Come find out the facts about these websites and decide for yourself the role they should play in your family’s life.

Sunday, August 31, 9:15 AM – During the Sunday school hour the whole congregation is invited to hear about the coming school year in the youth ministry and provide input about the future direction of the ministry. Although this Vision Raising will be especially helpful to youth and parents currently in the ministry, parents of younger children and adults with an interest in our young people would benefit as well. We hope to see you there.
