When:  Thursday April 22^nd from 7:00-8:30 pm

Protect Your Children Online:  Sex Traffickers have mastered the internet; predators have access to youth on social media platforms; social media users are unaware; on-line grooming happens just by accepting a friend request; one picture on the internet can change your life forever, and it cannot be deleted; in 2019, 62% of youth 11 to 13 reported first viewing porn unintentionally from pop-up advertisements on their smart phone.

There Will Be No Admittance into the Church for the Presentation.
