I agree with getting the younger kids involved in church activities. Make church interesting for them without doing something against scripture obviously. I'm now a member of a Baptist church that goes all out for youth activities and it shows. I switched churches 6 1/2 years ago, prior to that I was an elder in a Reformed church. The old people in the Reformed church were so against doing anything that the younger crowd would enjoy that you couldn't even have a church picnic in the park. They insisted it had to be in the church basement or some people won't come. I kept telling them if you gear all your functions towards old people that's all you'll have left after a while and that's what's happening. |
