5 Reasons Teens Are Avoiding Church

5 Reasons Teens Are Avoiding Church


Please read the above article, it is very interesting. Soapbox Alert! We have needed to fill some spots in teaching Sunday School this year. Mostly in the 4th and 5th grade class. We have made it as easy as we possibly can...teaching in a rotation, 3 weeks on and 6 weeks off. The more teachers we have, the longer time between teaching comittments. We sent out about 12 requests to parents, and past teachers, newly retired, those who God put before Beckie and I as we thought about who would be good to ask...we recieved 2 who said yes. Now, if you are one who received an email, this is not a personal attack....but I am hoping there will be a "big picture" moment here for all of us. The reasons we received for why people couldn't teach, bears out this article...if Sunday Scool isn't relevant to the parents and the church, then how can it be relevant to their children?

As the Church, we continue to find that our voice is slipping away in a world filled with many. Church - how important is it To YOU that your chlidren know the story of what God has done for us in Jesus Christ? If is isn't important to you, than why are we still doing this thing called Sunday morning? We have to about more than ourselves. We have to rise to the call that God gave us in Jesus...Go and make disciples...that means you AND me...see you Sunday..
