AN IMPORTANT EVENT FOR PARENTS WITH YOUNGER CHILDREN - Next Sunday, March 8 from 3:00-4:30pm at St. Paul's, there will be a followup discussion to our study of Jonathan Haidt's "The Anxious Generation," which highlights the dangers of social media for children and teens.  Erin Arizzi-Shores from West Chester Unplugged will join us to talk about community efforts that are already underway to support parents seeking to push back against our culture's obsession with smartphones and "always-on" connectivity.  All parents are invited to join us, whether you have read Haidt's book or not. Childcare will be provided.  Please sign up at this link if you are coming, so that we make sure we have an adequate amount of childcare help.
