Statistics show how significant the childhood and teenage years are for making commitments to Jesus. According to the 2011 National Church Life Survey, 76% of Sydney Anglicans became Christians before the age of 20, and 44% did so during their teenage years (10-19). It is absolutely critical that we invest a great deal of our energy and resources into children’s and youth ministry in order to grow as a Church community.
Our Wilton Kings Kids (primary school) program continues to grow and improve thanks to Carol’s leadership, our creche is meeting under a gazebo (need to work out a winter plan!), and our Youth Bible study is about to begin once the Youth come back from KYCK. Pray for our young people, that they would ‘trust in the Lord with all their heart’ and that parents would guide them wisely through their tender years.
in Christ, Ben
