Modern technology has provided us access to goods and services within reach of our fingertips, at laser fast speed. But a tradeoff is that within a world that is more digitally and globally connected than ever, we risk losing the face to face connections that nourish and enrich our lives.
Similarly, churches face challenges reaching out to both young and old alike, as they attempt to rekindle these relationships and build connections within the local community.
This quest has propelled Good Shepherd to embark on a Growing Young series. The goal is to raise awareness of this issue, as well as train people of all ages to reach out to other generations, both within the church and the surrounding community.
