I went through a search process over the last 6 months for a church that matched what was important to me. I began that search with the web. In fact, I didn't visit any church in person that didn't have a website and I made my decisions on which churches to visit (in this area near Princeton with many Presbyterian churches). The church that I'm joining posts sermon text, the week's schedule, and information on mission activities. I'd like them to post the monthly newsletter, but perhaps they are working on that. I was aided by a retreat sponsored by the Johnsonburg Presbyterian Center (http://www.campjburg.org/) called 'Reconnecting with Faith - Finding Your Home' which among other things provided tips on searching for churches. Use of the web was highlighted during that retreat. Mark - Mark Smith Mon, 11 Sep 2006 12:00:00 +0100
