Why Are So Few Young People Joining?

Welcome to Wondercafe2!

A community where we discuss, share, and have some fun together. Join today and become a part of it!

Oh Mrs Anteater - that crap is still going on? So sad. Reminds me of a Youth group I battled to start (as a young teen in 1960) that the congregation continually set up hoops for us to jump through. We successfully jumped through them all and, as word was passed around, some of the 'old' Sunday School kids started attending. Then the complaints arrived - some of the congregation didn't think it was 'fitting' to have motor bikes parked outside the church hall. Thinking it made sense to keep the peace these were parked at the back. The same youngsters realised that they still enjoyed singing even though their voices had changed sine childhood. They showed up for choir practise and were welcomed. They showed up for church on Sunday morning and were welcomed

There was a letter addressed to the Youth Group sitting on a table when we entered the church hall for our regular meeting a few days later. It informed us we were closed down and this must be our last evening. Turned out the Church Ladies objected to the motor bikes neatly parked outside the church during the Sunday service. (What will the neighbours think?!!)
 
Vant to attract more young peeps?

CCGs (I'll Tap Golgotha and my Mox Pearl for 5 mana. Take that, Herod)
Dungeons and Dragons and ilk are HUGE right now (You enter a 10 x 10 m room with no exits. 3 levers shaped like crucifixes are on the far wall. Jesus, what do you do? Greg Stafford, your Duck's senses tingle. Joan Campbell, there is a 1000 sided mask)
And vidja games (virtual interaction with Ancient Israelites)

There will b time enough for sermons when they're dead (and tooling around in Heaven 4.1!)

And yu can always ask young peeps what they want and like and desire and dislike?

Admiringly Smudgy,
