For one reason or another, UU congregations all over have been discovering that a certain age group is missing from their church, creating "the gap." Somewhere between their late teens and their late twenties, our youth are vanishing from the church scene. What's causing this phenomenon and how can we encourage our young adults to return to our congregations? Our church, UUCFM, is partnering with our local university, Florida Gulf Coat University, to begin a UU ministry on campus, the Eagle Unitarian Universalists. This work is being undertaken by congregation member Katie Romano Griffin, among others, who recently gave a sermon on this endeavor.
We encourage you to take a moment to watch Katie's sermon and ask that you share your thoughts and inspirations in the comments below.
