January 3-4, 2009 This week's "Reflection" by Gary Keith, Pastor of Teaching & Youth
In part one of
this two-week series I talked about two ways we have "hit our thumbs." One of
those ways talked about how our church is getting older and that part of our
focus this year will be to reconnect with a generation that, for the most part, is
missing from our church. That generation is the 23- to 38-year-olds. People in
this age group can be either single or married and either have young children or
have no children. We are still in the learning process of how to reconnect with
this age group. As you think about this age group or are in this age group yourself let
me ask you to respond to a couple of questions:
What are the needs
that you know of for this age group?
What are the
questions they are asking?
What are the
unique challenges they are facing?
What needs to
change to help make LBF an attractive place for this
generation?
Let me know what
you think. Use the blog link below.
