I look at the picture of youth and I think of all the Churches that hardly have children in them, hardly any teenagers….NO YOUTH PROGRAM! NO SUNDAY SCHOOL! MY GOODNESS! There is no future for a Church if it is not helping Children grow in Christ. These Churches have no funnel system. MERGE with another Church or two.
I see the Church I was raised in on Facebook. The American Lutheran Church in Windom, Minnesota. The population of Windom is about 4500. ALC has an outstanding youth program! I love to see the postings on Facebook! It does my heart good! I see too many Churches with NO or FEW children in Church! GREAT COMMISSION! HELLO!

They can wonder at the odd things, like the fact Billy Norris, Southside’s senior pastor, discovered Spann’s Bible a day later amid the building’s charred remains. It was sitting on the podium where he’d left it, undamaged by either fire or water. Or that the sheet music they’d used in the most recent youth service – “Another in the Fire” – was lying on the stage in similarly pristine condition.
“Amazing,” Spann said. “It’s just neat to see how God does some things to show us that He’s in control.”
Mostly, though, they marvel at how God has worked despite – or maybe because of – adversity.
“It’s a very unique story,” Spann said, “one that only God could have written.” The Rest of The Story Here
