Getting Online
To me, the term "getting on line," always meant something I would do at the bank or grocery store. While the rest of the country waits "in line," New Yorkers wait, "on line." One goal of my blog is to provide education to those of you west of the Hudson River and south of the Mason-Dixon line so you would learn not only about our church planting work here, but also to paint a picture of life in Queens. So if, in your travels, you meet someone who tells you to take your purchases and get, "on line," you've probably just encountered a New Yorker.
These days, "online," indicates internet activity, and Ascension Presbyterian Church has entered that realm. I've added a link to the website on the right side of the blog template so you can check it out yourselves. It's a work in progress, so there's not much by way of information on the site, but it will be developing over time. The design is great and the general information is helpful. We do have a purpose statement, directions to our new worship facility, and contact information, but you should check it often to see what is added in the coming weeks.
Speaking of our new worship facility, this Sunday marks our first service in the public school auditorium. Please pray for us to make a smooth transition and that our new 10:30 worship time will bring more people through our doors as we continue to grow.
Other News: New York City has issued a bit to host the 2012
World's Fair. In 1939 and 1964, the expo made its home in Queens. If we get the fair, it would be great to put Queens on the world stage in this way. Generally, the World's Fair is a showcase of human achievement. Maybe our church could get a pavilion at the fair and provide a showcase of God's achievement. Just a thought.
