'Tis the Season

Yes, friends, it's the Christmas season, and Ascension Church is hopping. Our dance card is full of special gatherings and events, and in the midst of the busy schedule, our goal remains clear: To establish a Gospel community and proclaim the Kingdom in central Queens.

Tomorrow night I'm taking the youth on an Holiday outing, breaking away from our usual meetings in light of the Holidays. Satudray begins with a number of us hitting the streets to invite the public to our first Christmas program next week, and culminates in our annual church Christmas party. I say annual because this is the third such party celebrated in connection with this church. That's right, before I even graduated from Seminary, a group of people had a vision for this church and celebrated at a Christmas gathering three years ago. All that goes to show how long this church has been in the works and how much work has gon into this church. Three years ago, no one could have seen the wonderous work God had in mind for a church plant in Forest Hills, Queens that would go on to become Ascension Presbyterian Church. God has been so good to us.

Please pray for us during this important Advent season, as we seek to take advantage of the meaning of Christmas to open Gospel doors and open our church doors for God to usher people into His Kingdom.
