Visit to New York

At New York we only go to visit one church, The Journy. The other Church I hoped to visit, New Life Fellowship, is based in Queens which was a train journey out of Manhatten. Unfortunately there werte problems with the trains and they were stopping at the station we needed, so we never got there.
However, the visit to The Journey was well worth the visit. The Journey has a number of sites throughout New York and seems to attract a mainly young and highly networked congregation. Like the others this church is well into the creative arts and the service included a well performed dance by someone for whom dance must be their career.. Normally dance in worship leaves me pretty cold but this wasn't too bad.
The talk was very good and was helped by the fact that everyone received a leaflet with the outline of the talk, the main Bible verses used and spaces to write in - a great idea. Nearly all the Churches we visited were good at provided free material and information to new comers and new Christians, but this one was especially good. The was a free book, CD's of talks and a whole bunch of other stuff as well.
I also enjoyed the worship at this Church a bit more than the others as the worship time was longer and perhaps more passionate than at some of the other churches we visited. It felt a little more like being at St Andrew's.
