Guest Speaker Series- October 29th, Wednesday at 6:00PM
All are welcome to join us at the church.
Mr. Zach Morris is speaking about "On the Cultivation of Worth: A Word from Saint Augustine to the Contemporary Heart"
In this increasingly disaffiliated world, our kids are leaving God behind. Instead of seeing God as a loving creator, many choose to strike out on the effort of ‘self- creation. The trouble is that when we seek to create ourselves we also find ourselves in a situation where we must define our own worth.
We live in a world in which our young people, far too often, base their value on passing things (grades, sports, friends, etc.) rather than the unchanging God. When those things pass away our kids are not merely faced with a bad day, but their very reason for why they matter is thoroughly shaken. Teens are facing a crisis of worth and we have to respond.
This talk will consider the crisis at hand, seeking an answer in the thought of Saint Augustine, and discuss what we as parents, educators, coaches, and mentors can do to help our young people ground their worth in the loving God.
Mr. Morris is a Middle School Teacher at Saint Benedict Classical Academy, Natick MA and is one of our Religious Education teachers.
Location: Saint Michael Church, 6:00PM to 7:00PM
