While some bemoan the dwindling numbers of faithful Christian followers at churches all across the Pacific Northwest, local 57-year-old churchgoer Sarah Bostwick says she’s still enjoying her 40-year-long status in her congregation as a young adult.
“Sure, it’s a little annoying when senior congregants keep asking me when I’m going to get married, but it is kind of flattering whenever they try to set me up with great-grandchildren just graduating from college,” said Sarah. “Last week they kept asking me what I was majoring in myself, proof enough to me that following Jesus truly is the key to eternal life.”
The church’s senior leadership says Sarah’s unbridled youth is always a breath of fresh air that they hope will one re-invigorate the church’s attendance numbers among other young adults.
“She’s even got us using new technology like Facebook so we can reach out and bring the gospel to youth as young as 42,” said senior congregant Carol Bevins, 89. “Meanwhile, she’s so athletic and limber she can climb up and down an entire stepping stool without breaking a single bone! Ah, to be young again.”
At press time, Sarah said she had to leave immediately to begin her 40th straight year of ditching Sunday School.
