No, not of the website, of the ministry.
Youth Worship is our youth service that we have been running for 2 years. It happens once a month. This past year, our numbers were really down, and I’m thinking it has something to do with the programming of the night, so I want to try some new stuff this year.
Currently our night looks like this:
Intro music (rocky)
Welcome
More Music (rocky)
Prayer time
More music (softer)
Offering
Sermon
More Music (reflective)
Dismissal
Rocky Song
My question for you all is, we are trying to be a more modern gathering, that appeals to young people today, so with that in mind, what would you like to see in a church service if someone asked you “what is one thing is a service that doesn’t happen that you’d like.”
