According to the Faith Community Today series of national surveys of American congregations, the 2000-2010 decade brought: • A continued increase in innovative, adaptive worship • A surprisingly rapid adoption of electronic technologies • A dramatic increase in racial/ethnic congregations, many for immigrant groups www.faithcommunitiestoday.org David A. Roozen
A general increase in the breadth of both member-oriented and mission-oriented programs. • It also gave witness to: An increase in connection across faith traditions A twist in the historical pattern of religious involvement in support of the electoral process www.faithcommunitiestoday.org David A. Roozen
But the decade also saw: A steep drop in financial health Continuing high levels of conflict Aging memberships. The net, overall result: • Fewer persons in the pews • Decreasing spiritual vitality www.faithcommunitiestoday.org David A. Roozen

Responsive Reading Isaiah 38:1-6 (New King James Version)
Leader: In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says the LORD:
Congregation: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.’” Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD, and said,
Leader: “Remember now, O LORD, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what is good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
Congregation: And the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying, “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father:
Leader: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will add to your days fifteen years.
Altogether: I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.”’
Gloria Patri Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, it is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen. Amen.
The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried.
The third day He arose from the dead, He ascended into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic church,
The communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.
