Each year the Lake Ministerial Association (LMA) offers a writing contest for youth and young adults. In the past, some of the essays have been about Christian unity and the writing of C.S. Lewis and Martin Luther King Jr. The LMA offers one scholarship of $500 to a high school or college student who best articulates the year”s theme. This award may be used for tuition or a mission trip.
This year”s theme is “Responsible Use of Social Media.” Our culture is changing rapidly with the rise and use of social media outlets such as Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. We are all challenged about how to responsibly use these and others with integrity, character and transparency. How should we continue to communicate a consistent message and responsible morals through these changing communication formats?
