Take some time to re-connect! Share a high and a low from your day or the last week.

What’s your favorite filter on social media? 
Define what it means for you to win on social media. What’s happening when you feel like you’re winning? 
When is social media NOT fun?

Ephesians 2:8-10 New Living Translation (NLT) 
​
8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

If God talked about how He sees you right now, what do you think He would say? 
Why is it difficult to believe that God sees you as His masterpiece, especially when you don’t get the responses you want on social media?
Talk about a time when social media affected the way you viewed yourself. 
What’s one thing we can do as a group to remind each other to see ourselves the way God sees us?

Direct us, O Lord God, in all our doings with your continual help, that in all our works, begun, continued, and ended in you, we may glorify your holy name; and finally, by your mercy, bring us to everlasting life, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.

Mark the Cross of Christ on each others foreheads as a remembrance of your baptism and say these words...

"(Name) you are a beloved Child of God."
