Thursday, January 19, 2006. Off to the Races! Now that Ascension Church has it's greatest definition yet, we will be developing interactive ministries aimed and sharing the Gospel with our neighbors in Forest Hills and the surrounding communities.

Serving the King in Queens: August 2005
http://foresthillschurch.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Serving the King in Queens. Monday, August 29, 2005. Pictures from the Hood. Union Turnpike/Kew Gardens Subway station. (Please click the photos to enlarge). This feature, however, created unresolvable traffic bottlenecks and the lanes were closed about 15 years ago. Today, passengers heading toward the street can still see the cars traveling on the underground section of Union Turnpike, they just can't get into them. I couldn't resist the opportunity to take a picture of these parallel-leaning sycamore ...

http://foresthillschurch.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Serving the King in Queens. Thursday, November 24, 2005. Sunday morning I received a telephone call from Roseann Kytka informing me that Michael was sick and unable to preach. The next obvious request from her was. Adventures in Church Planting. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and I promise a more thorough update next week. Posted by Jack at 8:36 AM. Thursday, November 17, 2005. Icing on the Cake. At a beautiful, encouraging, and well-attended service at Astoria Community Church, Rev. Michael A. K...Ord a...

Serving the King in Queens: October 2005
http://foresthillschurch.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Serving the King in Queens. Thursday, October 27, 2005. Since our first pre-launch worship is this Sunday (Oct. 30) and I haven't profiled all the neighborhoods in the Forest Hills vicinity, I thought I'd add one more (I already profiled Kew Gardens and Rego Park and plan to dedicate a large profile of Forest Hills just prior to our launch in November.). Speaking of Van Wyck, Briarwood is where the Grand Central Parkway and the Van Wyck Expressway converge. This is Archbishop Molloy High School. I on...

Serving the King in Queens: May 2006
http://foresthillschurch.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Serving the King in Queens. Thursday, May 25, 2006. Setting up around 8:30 in the morning for the 11:00 fair was a challenge because of the wind. The two people in the church who helped me in the morning, brought their own canopy, but we had no sandbags or bricks to keep it f. Rom blowing. If there was a list of things a church plant needs, sandbags would probably not be on it. Bricks? I know some of you are thinking I draw too much inspiration for church planting from baseball. To that, I reply: "I ...

Serving the King in Queens: March 2006
http://foresthillschurch.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Serving the King in Queens. Thursday, March 30, 2006. We are also renting a smaller space for a Good Friday service and church-wide dinner. One of our home groups is having a Passover Seder with a Messianic Rabbi which will be a more directed outreach given the Forest Hills demographic, and considering that Passover and Easter occur together this year. Reyn Cabinte, one of my fellow Church Planting Fellows (Emmanuel Presbyterian Church in Manhattan) became the proud father of a baby boy today. The on...

Serving the King in Queens: June 2006
http://foresthillschurch.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Serving the King in Queens. Thursday, June 29, 2006. Bubba and the Blog. There were considerable gaps between our e-mails and each of them contained more indications of her growing interest in me. Again, I was careful not to lead her in that direction, continuing to invite her to our worship services and other events. I even brought her up as a prayer request in at least one of my home Bible study groups. As I pieced the story together, I began to suspect that this couldn’t possibly be true because it wa...

Serving the King in Queens: February 2006
http://foresthillschurch.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Serving the King in Queens. Thursday, February 23, 2006. Finishing February Filling In. With the kids out of school for President's week, his wife off from work (she works for the NYC Public School System), and his birthday falling during the week, he is taking a well-deserved vacation. He is one of the hardest working people I know, and I'm happy that he trusts me enough not to single-handedly bring down the church in one week. Posted by Jack at 5:35 AM. Thursday, February 16, 2006. On Friday afternoon,...

Serving the King in Queens. Friday, December 30, 2005. 2005-The Long Strange Trip. In the midst of the holiday madness (my Parents have been staying in my apartment since Saturday), I'm a day late on my weekly blog update. Sorry. By the way, the transit strike ended within hours of my last entry. a Christmas gift of sorts. I want to wish you all God's richest blessings for the New Year and remind you to check back here frequently for updates on our church planting ministry here. Take care for now. The di...
