Getting older has some draw-backs and one of the biggest is that change is more difficult. When I started out in ministry, there were certain expectations. A robe was always worn at the services and the music was all traditional. We did not have overhead screens and always sang from a hymnal. In my mind, I remember an usher’s meeting to discuss if ushers could wear sports jackets rather than suits. The world has changed in my lifetime and certainly the church is no exception.
Not wanting to be one of those “old guys” who does not know what is going on in the world, I want and need help. I enjoy hearing what other churches are doing to be more relative in our world. How do we really reach those who are not interested in going to church but who want to grow deeper in their relationship to God?
So ifyou have poisitive thoughts on this subject, I would not only read them, but give them some serious thought. Perhaps your thought will spring board something in me or someone else that can advence God’s kingdom. Thanks in advance!
