Part of our spiritual development is the willingness to do things for others.
To contribute to the community.
This can be done on a personal level or it can be done through an organization like the Church.
But too many Churches are not doing anything for the community.
They meet the social needs of members but it goes no further.
And they reminisce about the past when they had tennis clubs and youth groups etc..
But these were merely meeting the needs of members of the congregation not the needs of the community.
So how can I help if you are not doing anything?
It seems to me that if churches are just hanging on and looking after themselves then the Church will die.
A church must be about the business of helping the community not themselves.
Looking after the needs of young people not wondering why they do not come.
The time has passed when the Church dominated society.
Perhaps we should be asking:
How can I help?
