I found out from a relative that my childhood ward building, where I grew up going to church, is being shut down and sold. The reason is lack of attendance. There used to be three wards in that building.
It is a little bittersweet. I am very happy that the church is shrinking in that area, but my parents helped build the building and I have some good memories (mostly of playing basketball in the gym). I also have bad memories of being told I was going to hell as a gay kid in seminary.
I hope this is occurring everywhere.
