In the changing landscape of society, companies have discovered that people like a "one-stop shopping" experience. Walk into one store and get toothpaste, bread and motor oil. And while you're at it pick up a new shirt to replace the one you'll get dirty changing the car's oil. These big box stores have become successful for their convenience and low price. One doesn't need to be a big box store to have it all. Just the other day I stood behind a lady at the counter at Oakland Hardware. She exclaimed to one of the workers, "It's so wonderful how you have everything." As a sarcastic thought popped in my head about food, I looked over to see a variety of BBQ sauces. Soon I'll be picking up a bucket of spackle along with my gallon of milk.
With the broadening of Ponds' mission throughout the community, it can be difficult to keep track of everything. People need a one-stop place for information about ongoing mission and ministry. Welcome to the Ponds Community blog. A blog that will provide updated information about various activities, events and mission work. Unlike the bulletin and newsletter, this will not be advertising events. Instead, it's my hope this will function to answer your questions and keep everyone who takes the time informed about the life and practice of being the church of Jesus Christ in Oakland, New Jersey.
The "pages" to the right address ongoing, long-term ministries of the church.
