Parents what tactics do you use to help a young teen not resent attending church?

Part of the reason my oldest daughter would rather stand than sit right now is due to how she feels church is a "waste of time" and "borning". Up till this year she loved going and liked talking with her friends but now she just feels like it's not something that connects with her. She doesn't get to not go but I wish it wasn't a battle each Sunday!

Bible says there will be a turning away. My son is a prodigal. Left a note,and left.
" Remember me and I will always love you " he says in the note. Grew up in church. Knows the word or at least how to speak christian-ess. Tell you what you want to hear. But gone. No number or address. 19 he's an adult,no crimes committed so nothing cops can do.
I feel for you
