Night Church - a new church for Generation Y

People in their twenties often move closer to the city when they get the chance. This is true of Summer Hill where the increase in population due to babies is about the same as the increase due to people moving into the area in their twenties. The graph shows just how many people there are in our area who are from Generation Y - the green bit (click on the image for a bigger version).

Our church has to be really great at taking the gospel of Jesus to this age group. To do this we are starting up a team who are going to be the seed group for a new Night Church. The idea is to gather together people who feel they could be part of this and equip them for the task.

We don't want consumer Christians but people who have a heart for the lost, are prepared to be missionaries with their friends and are willing to take risks for Jesus. We need people who are able to live out 2 Timothy 2:3 "Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus."

Our seed group will meet weekly at the Rectory at 6:30pm from June 3rd. Be in contact if you are interested in being part of this new team.
