We had about 130 people at Church yesterday. By way of comparison, one of our contiguous wards has 100 active YM and YW.
I'm thinking that one of the problems with a smaller ward is burn out. Your calling pool is shallow and you just burn through the same people over and over with no break. The only way to not get a calling that takes a lot of time is to be completely incompetent. And even that is not a guarantee. And when I say incompetent, I mean do nothing and let the program completely flounder.
As in, why don't we have a cub scout program? Things like that.
Whereas in a big ward the thing is you can get completely lost.
