The town that I have been living in for more than four years is small but peaceful; it is located in the country side where only few people inhabit. If I could change one important thing in my hometown, I would change the location of the church in my hometown. There are two reasons why I think the location of the church should be shifted to another place.
Firstly, there is a steep hill that you would need to go on to get to the church; because of this, many senior church members have troubles when they go to the church. Moreover, my town gets really cold in the winter that sometimes it goes under zero degree Celsius temperature, which forms icy road on the steep hill. There were some accidents that had happened on the hill. According to what some of the church members said, there are several vehicle accidents, and slips and falls in every year.
Secondly, since the church is positioned in a secluded side of my town, people have to walk a long distance to reach to the church; it takes more than 10 minutes for a friend of mine in my town to arrive in the church. Using this fact, I can assume that it would take more time for senior members to come. Also, if the location of the church moves to a center or crowded place of my town, it will attract more people to the church, giving not only the benefits to senior members but also better chances of evangelizing people in the town.
In conclusion, I would change the location of the church if I could change one very important thing that should be revised in my town. As I have shown above, moving a church to another place can reduce the possibilities of getting accidents or troubles on the way and shorten a locomotion time. The church is one of the biggest changes you can make in the town by spiritually. |
