The Alabaster Generation
(Filed under: Faith)A youth group in Greenville, S.C. hopes to rename their generation the Alabaster Generation, after the story in the New Testament of the woman who poured an alabaster jar of perfume on Christ's feet.
"We want to come and pour out all that we are and fill ourselves up with all that God offers us," says Chris Armfield, director of the Shannon Forest Presbyterian Church's youth group. As many as 100 teens attend the Tuesday night meetings in a renovated house, and nearly 50 come back for a Saturday evening meal and more in-depth Bible study.
"Someone comes to Christ every single week that we meet," says Armfield. At least 400 teens have discovered Christianity in the four years of the ministry.

How can I get copies of the 6/05 magazine itself. Not just what's on the web. I didn't see anything allowing for orders.
