Youth cabaret in church centre struggles with age gaps
The report notes a teenage cabaret run by Methodists attracts ages 13 to 18, not the older group hoped. Attendance for Gabriel's night club style events declines from about 120 to 30 as youths seek hotels or theatres, with stricter entry rules and late hours. Financial strain, $58,000 debt, $8,000 annual costs, and a $400 capital sum burden the center. Staffing shortages hinder weekly programming, requiring trained leadership and government support, while the church stresses non denominational service. The National Fitness Council fellowship may help bridge the gap.
