​HASHTAGS & HORMONES

​HASHTAGS & HORMONES: Thursday 13 February 2020, 7:30-9:30pm, Assembly Buildings, £5 (spaces must be booked online at www.presbyterianireland.org) This is an exciting opportunity to gather as parents, carers, teachers, youth workers, or just anyone who has contact with young people. Never before has there been so much pressure on our young people to think and act in a certain way when it comes to relationships, image and their online lives. Messages about identity, sexuality, and acceptable lifestyles are implicit, and often explicit, throughout the media and across our schools and
communities. So what messages are coming from the church, if any? Perhaps it is easier to just give a blanket answer or else to stay completely silent. If you have ever felt over-whelmed or ill-equipped to deal with the “hot topics” of our time, then you will be in good company as we raise awareness about what’s happening in the lives of young people, and tackle the tricky conversations around puberty, relationships, and sex. God’s heart for relationship is such a good message to share, so let’s regain our confidence in this message and renew our commitment to share it!
