It's not that difficult. Get out of your silos, greet young people, look for opportunities....and it's fun.

Recently, our aging church is seeing more young families get involved. It’s a joy to see. And our new lead pastor is in his 30s (which is approx -40 yrs vs. our former lead pastor). So we are ‘younging up’ some. I can’t say I really know how we did that. I’m not sure we did anything at all with that as a goal. Either way, we know Who gives the increase.

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.
