Cool things that FPCers are up to!

In case you haven't looked at the actual blog for a while, you might not be aware of some additions to the margins here...

1. You can get an email when there are updates posted to the blog. Put your email address into the "Get notified of new blog postings" box and click "Subscribe".

2. Featured blogs:
Gabe and Gwynne each have their own blogs that are featured in the right margin. Gabe's is an exploration of religion in science fiction and popular culture; Gwynne reflects on Religion & Absurdity in pop culture & the Media. Both are quite interesting.

There is a new "FPC Brooklyn-y" blogclip that is a compilation of interesting blogs including:

• Rev. Dr. Paul Smith's blog
  
• Rev. Beth's husband David's blog
  
• The Brooklyn Green Team, all about recycling and ecological education in Brooklyn


• A blog called "The Faith Divide", written by a muslim-american in Chicago, that "explores what drives faiths apart and what brings them together"


• The blog for First Church Families' ministry

Along with some other links and things under the heading "Related (or not) Links". Have you checked out Faith Streams for media content, or RELEVANT Magazine for teen and young adult topics related to Christian living?

3. Featured Bible Verse of the Day - now moved to the top of the page

4. We still have the calendar of Youth birthdays and an inspirational quote of the day at the bottom of each page. In addition, the Mission Statement for the Youth Group is on every page, and the calendar includes the daily readings for our Lenten reflections of Romans.

5. The previously mentioned (in an e-mail) "Clicks for a Cause" section includes many charitable sites, including the vocabulary building FreeRice.com game.

Let us know about your activities and you never know who might show up at your game, play, musical, recital, match, tournament, etc. For example, do you recognize last year's Confimand that is teaching Sunday School in this picture?

You can also keep up with some of us on our Facebook pages, just "friend" Mark and/or connect to others.

Check out these features, and feel free to suggest others.
