Today is Sunday, time to reflect on the week, on our spirituality, on the summer before us. For our Sunday selection, we're sharing Fellowship Presbybterian on New Garden Road just behind Brassfield Cinema. This church boasts a friendly and open atmosphere. According to their website, the congregation first decided that Northwest Greensboro needed a Presbyterian church in the late 1950's and first held worship services in 1964 at Claxton Elementary School. They have been in the current building since 1984. Service to others is a key component of to the members of Fellowship Presbyterian. Recently, the building facility has expanded, as has the neighborhood. New Garden Road, itself, has gone from being a twisty, country road to a multi-lane highway.
While they still appear to be in search of a pastor, Fellowship Presbyterian is a dynamic facility with people of all ages using it from Monday to Sunday. We want to get inside to see if the church has windows.
We could say that it's an all brick church! I wonder what it looks like inside.... (hint, hint)

Leif, your "hint, hint" would have us IN church 365 days a year. LOL! Actually, we like to hope we're nudging all of these religious institutions to beef up their websites:
--basic information about beliefs, schedules, and personnel;
--a history of the formation of the congregation;
-- a history of significant events across the years;
-- photos of people and events across the years;
-- photos of architectural details inside and out.
One person says that her church now has a history on their website as a result of GDP's encouragement.
As for your request, we will try to get some inside photos; however, one always feels a little like a "stalker" taking candid photos inside a place of worship and we do try to respect privacy. We'll see what we can do about getting more interior views.
Have a great Sunday!
