what resources are there nationally for under 40s ministry?

One of the challenges that faces the church is the so-called generation(s) gap. How does a congregation that has grown together over 30 or so years, raising their families and going through life stages together work out how to connect with younger generations that they wouldn't naturally associate with?
I am one such 20 (nearly 30) something Anglican vicar wondering just that.
I believe that one of the best ways to start is to connect with what is happening outside your immediate area. And one of the simplest ways to do that without even leaving the comfort of your own home is the internet.
In the Anglican tradition in Aotearoa, we have a network called StraNdZ (the acronym that isn't an acronym. If you want the full story, then you'll have to ask me for it!) While people who are church hierarchy groupies might be aware of it, many would still go "Huh?" if you asked them about it.
So here is the web address: http://www.strandz.org.nz/
Start your research here. Believe it or not, those levies that each parish pays help provide some fabulous (underutilised) resources including straNdZ. They are getting in on the committees that decide policy, funding and direction for our church in NZ.  One of the projects in development is a new lectionary based children's ministry programme created by locals.

Blessings and keep up the good ministry and mission!
