Take the Social Media Challenge with St. Philip’s this Lent. It works in two ways:
1. Do good works using social media
First, instead of giving up social media, what if you spoke a little louder for your Faith and beliefs during these next forty days? What if you sent a FB message to someone you know who is hurting? What if you sent a tweet to that person who needs your forgiveness? What if you just tried posting (or re-posting) a psalm, a prayer, or a positive thought on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram? Imagine the difference this could make.
2. Give it up to make time for God
If you still want to “give up” some social media, try giving it up for a day, two days, etc., whatever works best, but during that time, try spending a few minutes or more in prayer, reading a spiritual book or even in silence.
At the end of each week during Lent, share with the parish what it is you are doing or what positive thoughts you are sharing by putting them on a post-it-note that we will have in the narthex and attach it to our Lenten Cross that will be on display. Let’s see by the end of the forty days just what we as a parish have done to bring Christ to others during Lent in 2019.
