Associates in Christian Counseling

	Will You Friend Me?
	Social Media: Plus or Minus?
	Why I Serve— Karen Googe
	Book Review

Dear Friends,

I had a professor of Western Civilization who was fond of saying that for every instance of progress in history something else was lost as well. We have indeed experienced a revolution of changes in the past 20 years especially through the internet and now continuing with social media. What has been gained or lost? Perhaps it is too soon to know that with clarity. As with many tools or opportunities, the intent and the fruit will reveal the true meaning and value.

Would it be ironic for me to tell you to enjoy this edition of our newsletter and please visit us on Facebook?

Will You Friend Me?

It started out with the internet…now there is e-mail, instant messaging, Facebook, Twitter, blogging and LinkedIn…and I’m sure there are more of which I am not even aware! So what is the impact of social media?

Social Media: Plus or Minus?

Several of our Associates’ therapists share their thoughts and cautions about the use of Facebook.

Why I Serve – Karen Googe

Karen Googe joined the Board of Directors in the fall of 2010. Her first awareness of Associates in Christian Counseling came when a Board member approached her employer about becoming a business sponsor at our annual banquet. Her interest in Associates continued to grow so she was quick to accept when asked to serve on the Board. read more

Book Review

The Church of Facebook:
How the Wireless Generation is Redefining Community
Jesse Rice, Contemporary Worship Arts Director, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, CA
David C. Cook, 2009

Social networks are changing how we form relationships, perceive others, and shape our identity. Yet at its core, this movement reflects our need for community. Our longing for intimacy, connection, and a place to belong has never been a secret, but social networking offers us a new perspective on the way we engage our community. But how might this phenomenon subtly reflect a God who longs to connect with each one of us?

Thoughts

On Twitter we get excited if someone follows us. In real life we get really scared and run away.
