GEN-Y CONSULTATION

A CHALLENGE FOR THE FUTURE OF THE CHURCH

Pastors & Youth Pastors Consultation: Wed 16th May

The "Y-GENERATION" (currently 12 to 24 year olds) will decide the future of the Church in our nation. Research reveals some BASIC DIFFERENCES IN ALMOST ALL THESE YOUNG PEOPLE: their culture, values, spirituality and needs. They generally accept no authority but themselves. They look for authenticity before listening to someone. They choose what is right for them, including their beliefs. Is the Church prepared to make major changes needed to include GEN-Y?

Transforming Melbourne and Melbourne Pastors Network invite you to a CONSULTATION on the serious issues raised in the 5-year "AUSTRALIAN YOUTH SPIRITUALITY RESEARCH" report just released. Speakers include Dr. Philip Hughes, Director of the Christian Research Association (who conducted the GEN-Y research) and others including some Gen-Y people. Grapple together with what this means for us today and tomorrow.

9.15am to 4pm at the Box Hill Salvation Army, 17-23 Nelson Road, Box Hill

$35 incl. Lunch ($20 concession/students)

Easter Reflection

CHRIST HAS DIED  – CHRIST IS RISEN 

JESUS DEATH AND RESURRECTION HAS CHANGED THE WORLD FOREVER 

How much it changes us depends on our willingness to surrender our lives into His nail pierced hands

– and on how much we allow His victory to transform us. 

And how much it changes us, God's People, will determine how much He transforms the Church.

And how much He transforms the Church will decide how much the Church will transform our city.

LORD touch us again with the transforming message of Jesus on the cross and His breaking out of the tomb
