My parents are in a nursing home and Dad considers the church folks who come to do Bible Study each week and a service for them on Sundays to be an amazing gift of grace in their lives. It has brought them healing in areas that are important, encouragement at a time that can be incredibly encouraging, and comes at a time that's pretty teachable-you have lots of time to consider your need for God's grace and how your life has gone when you have nothing but time....It may not grow someone's church statistics, but it is an incredible gift to go to where they live.

You involvement is so crucial and rad too. True statements about the "hipsters" too--I know what you've been reading;) Also, I'll be your Huckleberry.

I hope that not all the hipster "postmodern" (I wonder if they really are, but anyway) pastors are that superficial. I remember back in the 90s being part of a church that used that same lingo, but their "group" was the "baby boomers" and my thinking was the same then: How convenient. We are focusing on all the people who are like us. I think a good start is to forget about demographics and just attend to the people who come in contact with and the needs you hear about. Wow.
