Millennial Happenings

Once a week, I like to let you know what is happening around the country that you might find of interest concerning Millennials. Some of the information might be about new and innovating churches or about the latest trends in the twentysomething culture. I'll also mention certain books or articles that I think would be of help to you. There'll be other "stuff" that I'll add but I really don't have a category to put it under. You can think of it as your "one stop store" into the Millennial generation. So, here's what's going on.

Mega Gatherings:
Thirsty 07
This is a conference for college pastors and is put on by Passion Conferences. It's taking place in Atlanta starting May 2-4th. Go to http://www.268generation.com/ for more information.

The Buzz Conference 07
This conference is scheduled to be in the DC area June 28-29th. Some of the fore-runners of understanding cultural shifts and creative church ministries will be there. You can find out about the conference at http://www.buzzconference.com/.

Writings & Melodies:
Outreach Magazine~March/April
Dan Kimball talks about his recent book, They Like Jesus But Not The Church. I thought especially helpful was his insights about what unchurched twentysomethings would like to see the Church become (a full explanation can be found in his book on page 213).

Generation Me: Why Today's Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled-and More Miserable Than Ever Before by Jean M. Twenge.
A good balance to the optimistic view of the Millennial generation.

The Great Omission by Dallas Willard.
One of my favorites on understanding the depth and joy of being a disciple of Jesus.

Truth and the New Kind of Christian: The Emerging effects of Postmodernism in the Church by R. Scott Smith.
Probably the best book I've read on the Emergent movement.

David Crowder Band ~ A Collision
Passion ~ Everything Glorious
Phil Keaggy's band Glass Harp ~ It Makes Me Glad (a blast from the past that my twentysomething buds enjoy)
