According to the list of Sunday school classes we have to offer there is no class for persons from 18-20 years old. We suppose since ages are approximate that they would be welcomed into the 20-35 group class, but we are wondering if they would feel comfortable there. Our high school class has only a handful attending, and they are uncommunicative most of the time. Perhaps all those 18-20 years are attending higher learning institutions? But no, we know of at least one that is not. And what is happening when those away at school do make it home on a weekend or during summer? We think we might be on to something here. This could very well be why we are a dying congregation. Could we be loosing our young people because we don't offer support during this time of their lives? We sometimes wonder if we are the only ones concerned about this.
We are now attending our age group Sunday school class. Again it is mostly just discussion, with little actual learning taken place. But it is a good time of fellowship anyway and a good way to keep up with what is going on in others lives.

If you want to take it a step further I would suggest investigating what that age group is doing and/or thinking about the church.
