Anyone notice an influx of young adults/college at your church today?

Definitely saw it at my very traditional, protestant church. Talked to 2 college kids and young professional male that said they just felt they wanted to go to church. A turning point is happening.

We were at a public park for service. Was scheduled a few months ago. I was a little worried. But we had about 100 people there.

No, but I went to the anticipated Mass. That is normally an older group. The 10:30 AM mass is where the younger kids usually go to. My 2 daughters went this morning , but they go every Sunday as Holy Mother Church requires.

Many, many more. They had to call in reinforcements for all of the babies in the nursery. The pastor talked about a spiritual warfare— called out gay marriage, abortion, transgender etc. then the last half it was just praying with most at the altar. There was not a dry eye in the building. This is an affluent area in Georgia with congressmen attending this church. The pastor did this for all 3 services.

A true revival. He has woken the church

Biggest attendance this year (other than Easter and Christmas).

Not close.

It is normal to see increase post Labor Day until later October, though.

Yup…we were full and had to open the overflow area which is usually only used on Christmas & Easter

Definite change!

Nope.

Fake News. I never see this stuff in reality. You always read a bunch of blah blah blah ... "wake up call" etc...

Yet, nothing has changed. No one new at our services today.

Democrats are still above the law and no one cares.

I'd have gone for sure if I could have. Today was probably the first time I've ever felt somewhat bad about not being able to go

I told my wife yesterday that I expected mass to be more crowded today, it was, there were several people that had to stand in the back. What I was not expecting was it to be just this, I noticed a ton of high school and college aged kids, way more than we normally have.

then maybe you need to find a new church because there's something wrong with the one you went to and maybe it's you

Absolutely. The Southern Baptist Church we are members of was filled to overflowing and we had to set up chairs in our foyer. It was a beautiful thing.

I’m at a smaller Catholic parish in rural Kentucky. We have eight people in our OCIA class, almost all of them younger folks. It’s exciting to see younger people turn to the Church

yes I make them all the time and you ignored the first point the really more important one which i'm not surprised since you're very intellectually dishonest

More families plus an armed police officer. Didn’t expect the police officer in Bozeman.

We usually average 50 a Sunday, probably had between 70-80 today. Not sure if Kirk had anything to do with it but did have some new faces.

No, but I went to church in Arlington, VA. No one is really on the fence here
