More Out-of-the Box Ideas for Evangelizing Young Adults Needed Everywhere

UPDATED FROM LAST ENTRY-SEE BELOW

I  read this weekend on AOL of mega churches evangelizing to young people and holding Sunday morning services in rented music venues in Williamsburg, Bushwick (Brooklyn) and the Lower East Side of Manhattan. More missed opportunities for the Church. Very frustrating for those of us who love the Church. Certainly the Church in Brooklyn and the Archdiocese can do something for young adults to evangelize them and give them uplifting, Spirit-filled Masses and/or weekend prayer services which appeal to them.......and the modern, technological world they are so a part of.


UPDATE: If you happened to read the blog entry on my friend's disappointment on what her grandson was being offered after he received his First Communion regarding CCD instruction, she didn't have all the facts (how surprising!).. she didn't have all the particulars and though there wouldn't be regular, weekly CCD classes there will be some form of communal instruction offered on a weekend for those not in regular classes......so if anyone read the post, which I have since deleted I apologize as I was not given all the correct information. I still believe that young children, actually children of all ages, should be given children's Bible study and an opportunity to read the Bible and discuss it with their families. That would bear much "fruit" in my humble opinion.  NJA

"If Catholics in the U.S. are going to be healers of our wounded culture, we"re going to have to learn to see the world through lenses ground by biblical faith. That form of depth perception only comes from an immersion in the Bible itself." (George Weigel- Tablet article- 5/21/16)
