projects to mark the millennium. Your church may want to participate in some of these as a
part of your millennium celebrations. |

Churches Together in England have developed a NewStart package to offer a new start for the world's
poor, a new start at home, and a new start with God. Their plan involves each UK household
being given a candle and a resolution to say together on the eve of the millennium. |

The Evangelical Alliance has a
range of resources including a prayer countdown to the millennium, a directory of
Millennium events and the Anno Domini project. |

clear way. The web-site is excellent, and packs of leaflets, videos etc have been
produced to support it. |

Generation recognises that beyond the celebration of the 2000'th anniversary of Jesus
Christ's birth, the church needs to transform itself to be relevant in the twenty first
century. Resources, links and a challenging church health check. |
