October 27, 2024 | Armando David Scott-Canchola | Mark 10:46-52
In this service, we “grew young” and center our emerging generation of youth and young adults. It was such a vital moment to acknowledge the growing number of young people who have felt disenfranchised from the American Church. We sat, listened and communally processed the desires of this emerging generation, allowing space to name their questions, critiques and desires for a more faithful witness of the Church. Our community welcomed and affirmed all of it, knowing that our youth and emerging adults have good news to offer us as a faith community. Pastor Mondo leveraged the story of Bartimeus, a blind beggar as a case study on the cry of an emerging generation.
