Concord United - September 1, 2022

Sharing Christ. Serving Others. Growing in Faith

PARENTING WITH A PURPOSE

September 7 @ 7PM

Worship Center

Parenting with Purpose Workshop Series kickoffs September 7 with Parenting and Social Media. Heather Kyle-Harmon from University of Tennessee Extension Agency joins us to share about Digi_Life. Digi_Life” is the shortened name for “Digital Life” and is a guide to educate about the relationship between technology and our everyday lives. This guide does not offer “how-to” sessions with specific software or hardware. Instead, the topic offers information on how to integrate and manage technology in a manner that contributes to a healthy and positive quality of life. Digital life starts early for children and has been proved to be useful in small amounts. Come learn how to balance the digital life from 1 year olds to 91 year olds.

Meet in the Worship Center at 7:00 following the Community Care Night meal and worship. Any questions, please contact Pastor Brooke at bhartman@concordunited.org.
