the first post of what we’re calling “Tech-Wise Wednesdays”, a space where we want to curate suggestions and stories about becoming tech-wise. Members of our Park community will share how they try to practice being tech-wise in their everyday life and ways that they’ve seen technology impact them and others.
We’re launching a new discipleship initiative called: “Becoming Tech-Wise: Navigating Life Together in our Digital Age”.
Join us as we continue our new series "Water from a Deep Well" as we discuss Psalm 150.
As we continue our series "9 Ways to Follow Jesus" we discuss the importance of scripture reading.
