20-SOMETHING ROUNDTABLE November 12, 2007 Issue

Getting it all together

JENNY ROEMER with contributions from ELLEN HAMMOND, MATT LAWRENCE, LAURA FORBES

Recently, Sentinel staff editor JENNY ROEMER spoke with ELLEN HAMMOND, MATT LAWRENCE, and LAURA FORBES—three employees (all in their 20s) who work at The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. They talked about handling stress in their lives.

Jenny Roemer: We're here today discussing how to handle pressure and stress through prayer. Let's start off by talking about where we're seeing stress and pressure crop up.

Laura Forbes: Especially being in our 20s, there are pressures out there about where we're supposed to be in our lives, and what success means. I think there's a lot of pressure on us these days to really have it all together. Society tells you that you should have a great place to live, a great career—and maybe be looking for a wife or husband, thinking about kids, and getting your finances in order. And that can sometimes seem overwhelming when you look at your life and think, Do I really have any of those things in the way the world says I should?
