Race To Nowhere

I want to encourage each of you to attend this incredible film and discussion to follow.  I worry all the time - and not just for the youth - but my own children - "How much is too much??"

The Race to Nowhere will definitely get your attention - and hopefully create some great discussion for you and your youth!

Hope to see you THIS SUNDAY evening!

Please join us for a film screening of "Race to Nowhere: The Darkside of  America's Achievement Culture" on  Sunday, September 25th at 6pm at Highland Park United Methodist Church. This film will take an in depth look at the pressure our children are  under in our current education system and achievement culture.   Are we pushing our kids too far, too fast, at the expense of their childhood?   Where will these children as adults find their value?   Are we leaving enough room in their schedules for them to become  who God created them to be? We will take a look at these questions and more with a panel discussion  led by Rev. Paul Rasmussen, Dr. Brad Schwall, and Gregg Medlyn, LPC, LMFT.
