Visiting across the Pond and have a morning to myself. Any of you early birds have any recommendations for churches? I'm in Greenpoint- needs to be walkable esp as some roads are being blocked off for the 5 boroughs bike ride. I've some ideas but thought I'd throw it out here to see...Ta
P.s. no not MWing

Sorry, I don't know Greenpoint at all. At any rate, it would have been difficult to recommend a church within walking distance without knowing exactly where you were staying.
As it is now after noon in NYC, I trust you found something suitable.

No problem - thanks for replying in any case. In the event, I went with my gut feeling and visited Greenpoint Reformed Church in Milton Street. I don't MW anymore nowadays, but if I had, they'd have come out well - small, friendly, inclusive, and really trying to live out the gospel in practical ways. I'll certainly visit again if ever I'm back in the area.

Looks like they are doing good work.
That's the one. My impressions from one - albeit brief visit, of course - was that yes, they probably put some of the larger churches to shame. Worth a visit if you're ever back on house - sitting duty.
