How do others handle this?
Last November, due to some upcoming health concerns on my part, and other factors, we went to one service on Sunday instead of two. We still have Wednesday night Bible study, and Thursday night prayer.
But, I have recently began to be concerned that our youth seldom hear the preached Word by their pastor. I do not feel this is just my ego talking.
Our Sunday format is when the older youth are dismissed to SS, I preach to those still in the sanctuary. Younger children go to Children's Church during worship, and then SS.
Wednesday nights, we have corporate worship, but then dismiss the children and older youth as I teach (or preach as God leads)those still in the sanctuary.
I believe our youth are missing something, and am at odds as to how to correct it.
How do you handle it? All suggestions are welcome, but all may not be adhered to!
