Church Finds a Home at the YMCA
 | | The cross leads the processional at a Sunday morning service in the Y. |
He looks like any other guy sweating on the treadmill at his local YMCA, but Pastor Randy Forrester is there for a different reason. Since 2000, King of Kings Anglican Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, has met in the Y's aerobics room, intentionally making the Y its mission field. Fulfilling that mission could mean praying with a Y staff member whose sister has cancer, or standing side by side with Y volunteers serving soup to the homeless. That's the beauty of the organic partnership-one that other churches are discovering as well.
Learn more about the church's missional partnership with the YMCA.

St. Philip's Orlando goes to the Marketplace
 | The Rt. Rev. John Miller dedicates St. Philip's
new warehouse office park location. |
The word church conjures up images of stained glass windows and a tall steeple for some, but members of St. Philip's in Orlando, Florida are thrilled to worship under steel girders surrounded by cinderblock and concrete walls. A recent move from an elementary school to a warehouse office park lands them in the center of a BMW mechanic training center, coffee and wine distributors, medical lab and a manufacturer of highly specialized lenses for microscopes. Like a chapel on a college campus, they hope to be a beacon in the warehouse office park they now call home.

Warm Hearts Melt Winter's Chill in Wisconsin
 | | Gordon Stewart leads the children in procession and in praising God with "pipes" (Psalm 150:4) |
The Celtic sounds of bagpipes bounce off the intricate woodwork interior of the historic Kemper Center Chapel in Kenosha, Wisconsin, signaling the end of Sunday morning worship for Light of Christ Anglican Church. As a crowd of children dressed in their Sunday best process down the center aisle behind the kilt-clad musician, it marks the end of a full morning of celebration for the church.
