Twenties Thirties Forties
Twenties, Thirties, Forties (or TTF) is a UK Christian non-profit organisation that has been hosting quality events for both singles and couples for over 15 years. It enables people aged between 20-49 to have fun, try new activities, and make friends. The group is non denominational and links into local churches through its network of volunteer contacts. Barry Mockford the Group co-ordinator says " TTF fills the gap between youth group and integrating young adults into mainstream church. By offering events that are both high in quality and attendance it allows this active age range a safe environment in which to socialise and bring their non-Christian friends without being embarrassed. Last year there was a TTF event happening somewhere in the UK virtually every week”Having originated with one group in Middlesex, TTF has expanded its number of area groups covering many areas of the UK. Their vision is to eventually reach the whole of the UK and they are looking for new contacts and support churches who would benefit from joining the network. TTF also connects with similar Christian organisations who minister to this age range, in specialist areas such as singles and holidays. To find out more, visit their website at www.ttfonline.org.uk or contact Barry Mockford on 01784 462219. You can also find TTF on twitter, or facebook.
