The Youth Ministry at my parish had over 100 youths participate in a 24 hour Food Fast on Easter weekend. They raised over $10,000 for Catholic Relief.

Look, I am not saying that ALL youth ministries or ALL churches with multiple contemporary/traditional services are bad, I am saying that some present a problem, and we need to be aware of them. I also understand that in a larger church, multiple services are necessary to accommodate the congregants.

In my own experience, I went to a relatively small church (<200 regulars) that decided to have the contemporary/traditional service. They scheduled the traditional service at 9:30 and the contemporary at 11. As a result, the church self-segregated into two camps that only met between services. As a result, the church was weakened by the lack of fellowship, and many were disaffected and left. Only after they abandoned the split service did they thrive again (and even then, the damage was done).
