    UK Est.church - Gen X friendly ?

    Quirky Rituals/Habits

    How's this for a freaky ritual... My wife has to program my mobile phone to bleep for me to eat or drink throughout the day. I work from home and do a lot online, so it's very easy to lose track of time. Today I was pre-programmed to eat pizza at lunch... which was nice!

    Looking for books

    It depends what you want to look at... For a personal bit of time and thought between you and God, then the Prupose Driven Life is excellent! If you would like to reflect a bit more on why you may find church difficult, then stuff like The Prodigal Project might be a good starter - but...

    Churches can be hard for our generation - especially Churches that have an older culture or mindset - which will affect worship, sermons, activities ... everything! There's loads of work being done, however. I'd love to tell you about the site that I'm working on that deals with this very issue...

Some have more lasting impact than others and preganancy is one of those life changing results that can occur when sex is abused, mishandled, misuderstood or forced on others. Those who have remained pure have a...

    Prayer urgently needed

    Hi rainbowprism. Coming online is a great start to meeting and developing relationships with real people - even if it is in the virtual realm! I do it all the time, because I work from home and have few Christian friends locally. (Up until now I've been on a UK forum but it's gone down...

    Help me i'm terrified and i've never been soooo low

    I've been all over the place in the past... What I do know is that life is just about long enough to work out a chunk of what it means to follow Christ (which means we make loads of mistakes) - but it is also short enough to have to move on from painful times... to start again and look onwards...
