UK: Churchgoing is On the Rise | 14th Mar 2010

It appears the long-term decline in UK churchgoing is levelling off and there are signs of a new interest in going to church.
A Tear Fund study showed that more than a quarter of adults in the UK attend church at least once a year while 15% went at least once a month in 2008, up from 13% in 2007. This trend appears to have continued into 2009. The study also showed that almost 3 million people would consider going to church given the right invitation.
However, the gender and age gaps are widening: only 35% of churchgoers are men and, among the critical under 16’s, attendance has continued to fall over the period.

BIBLE STUDY: Isaiah 56:6-8
PRAISE: God for this change of momentum. Pray that churches may be ready to receive these people.
