Funny you should ask this question. I am going to seek a meeting with my pastor to ask a like question. Our Lutheran church has a traditional and contemporary service each Sunday. At the traditional service my 14 and 11 year old daughters are the only one there under the age of 18 each Sunday. We do see a few young people but only a few. My question is, what is going to happen to traditional liturgical worship at the church I attend? Using a snapshot of Sunday's attendance there will be no traditional Lutheran liturgical service in the next generation of my church. This is alarming to me. Straying all over the denominational map for many years I have come to realize the traditional liturgical services with strong Law and Gospel sermons are the strength of Christ's Church.
