This Friday middle, high, and college students across the country will participate in the Day of Silence. Students take vows of silence in an effort to encourage their schools and peers to address the problem of anti- lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender behavior. You and your child may have questions about what the event is and most importantly, how are Christ-followers called to respond.
Please click on this link for a great resource from CPYU.
Have a conversation with your kids about the day, and feel free to give me a call/email for further discussion.
