Technology & Family
This is a special talk on the relevant topic of technology and how we engage in a technological society as believers and in families.
Reid Monaghan shares: “One of the things about our modern world is that technology is becoming more and more pervasive. We have screens of every size traveling with us where we live, work, worship and play. How do we navigate technology with our children and as a family? Should we ban it all? Use it wisely with gratitude to God? How do shape appropriate boundaries and wisdom with our children related to the use of technology? Join us on Sunday after the worship gathering for frank discussion of parenting and technology.”
