[Faith-Talk] Our Ministries.

[andrew edgcumbe]

I will share one view with you Ashley I for my own reasons feel and
consider myself a young adult  though i am not going to ask you to say your
age as that is not proper.

I  am 37 but still felt i am some what a young adult might be older young
adult i could say but most people my age went to college in their 20's and
are trying to figure out what to do with themselves.

But older young adults or singles have no place to belong.

I  have found allot of churches tend to have a cut off age far as young
adults go.
I was going to a young adult group last year mind you but stopped going
because that church went intergenerational.

I am in no way saying not comfortable with inter generational at all but i
feel that churches c that can should really think about the young adults to
even if it is something that is done between churches or some other way.

I have talked to pastors about this and the latest one i talked to has
moved on year ago but he didn't think was important for me to be in young
adults ao another way to say it the vibe i got from him and some others i
got the vibe like young adult stuff just was not important
It was more about children and youth is more their concentration and after
that you are on your own inless you get married and it is like churches
want all singles to get married in my opinion.

What happens if God wants you single that is the thing so you need to talk
to other singles to get support and whatever.
See yes there has been young couples involved but is really hard to
befriend and make a connection with young cup couples and spend time with
them as they are busy rasing their kids.
I believe connections  and friendships not saying you have to spend time
every day or even every other day but i believe friendship  is better
formed if you spend time with a person  or those people and that means
nothing if you see them at church and that is they might be your brother
and sister in christ but they are an equantence not a friend of mind well
distant friend
To me friends whom you can a hang out with and do things with.

To me a church  is suppose to number one help and mentor the believer
number 2 is that a church should give you the tools you need to grow like
Christ.

Also the church as a whi whole and i am sticking to this a church should be
supportive place where people are brought together.

I don't fall for the religous stuff and don't call myself a religous person
but  to me i don't need religion i need Jesus and so many i feel push mo
push the practices like communion or religous practices as a whole but God
doesn't need a person to be more religious he needs us to have a
relationship with him.
