Presbytery Meeting

I just got home from the Presbytery Meeting and am waiting for my chicken nuggets to finish baking so am posting with this spare time.

The only interesting part of the meeting was a presentation on megachurches which are defined as churches with 2000 attendees at a worship service. Megachurches only account for 1% of the total protestant church going folk, but they are growing rapidly. Where many baby boomers are still attracted to more traditional protestant services, the younger generation (the ones that even bother with church anyway) is flocking to these more contempory, progressive services that leave parishoners exited by the audio/visual effects used to teach the word of God.

I have nothing against megachurches. I wonder, though, how different worship will be when the baby boomers pass on and leave traditional services and their grand old churches in the proverbial dust, except for some few hold outs that thrive.

Motto: If Gods wills, failure's no option and mediocrity not acceptable.

Mission: To be the best man I can possibly be, while realizing any good thing I do is of Christ and any bad thing is a result of my inherently sinful nature.

Guiding Scripture: Haven't I commanded you: be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
~Joshua 1:9
