Changing Times - the new TV

I recently came across the following statistic: NBC aired about 1,200 hours of Olympic coverage on its various television networks—and another 2,400 hours online. Where once TV was King - The Internet is catching up.

What dose this say to us about how we do church in the 21st century?

Those under 40 are more and more turning to technology as their medium of communication. It not unusually to see a 20 something texting on their phone, listening to there i pod and using Face book on their computer all at the same time.

How will we seek to meet the needs of this new generation? How do we share the "old, old. story that we love so well" in such a way as to capture the hearts of these new generations?

How we deal with the technological onslaught is perhaps one of the greatest challenges we have in this new age.
