"'I don't think many kids are coming to this,' a youth told me as we gathered for Greensburg Mennonite Church's first baptismal class in years.
It was Sunday afternoon in the heart of winter in western Kansas. I had been laying the groundwork for weeks: planning, shoulder-tapping, and announcing in the congregation where I serve as a part-time interim pastor. Around seventy five people typically gather for worship—a quarter of them children and youth—so there were candidates for the class. But with me making the two-hour drive to minister in Greensburg only a couple of times a month, would the youth respond?"
Brad Roth, Interim Pastor at Greensburg Mennonite Church, shares a story of how God is at work in his congregation, stirring the hearts of youth to respond in baptism. Greensburg Mennonite Church is an LMC congregation within the South Central District in Greensburg, Kansas.
