REACTOR

So at the corps we are attempting to "seek first the kingdom of God" in all we do. A defintion of the kingdom that has been really helpful is "The re-establishment of God's rule in the lives of individuals and society" (Dennis Peacock via Ivan Bezzant) We've attempted to name all our groups using words beginning with RE so that we are always reminded of what the kingdom is about.

Women's group - relate (aren't women famous for their ability to relate to one another?)
Men's group - reload (it conjurs up images of hunting and manly stuff like that....so I'm told)

Youth group has been a challenge...what to call it? While there are over 2000 words beginning with RE, not all of them are suitable.

An idea floated by one person was "rejects" but we weren't too sure how a friend would feel being invited to come along to "REJECTS".

Its finally been decided to use the name "REACTOR" - its an anagram for Creator - and after all we are made in the image of our creator.

We are also in the world to bring change and provoke a response to the Kingdom....so REACTOR it is.

Feels good to have the name sorted...now we just have to live up to it!
