Pollsters confirm what our eyes already show us, people, especially younger people, are not attending church like they once did. In many ways, the larger cultural context no longer supports church membership and attendance like it once did. But the church is more than a cultural institution; it is a spiritual reality. The present situation calls upon us to reflect deeply on the nature and meaning of the church, and our church, St. Andrew’s. Is the church still part of God’s good news for the world? I believe it is, if we refocus on our fundamental purpose for existing. Come this Sunday and ponder “The Good News of Church?” (click to listen to audio of this message)
