Will We Celebrate Christmas This Year?

                                                                                                                                      January 17, 2013
Welcome to PaLM's new website.

With this new website, comes a new focus. Henceforth, this website is dedicated to the advancement, benefit and blessing of the New York/New Jersey Asian American Christian community.

In pursuit of these goals, this website is dedicated to:

  • serving as a repository of "everything" Asian American Christian in the New York/New Jersey community.
  • providing "the story" of the New York/New Jersey Asian American Christian community .
  • providing resources beneficial to our Asian American churches, pastors and community.
  • providing a central location of our New York/New Jersey Asian American churches/community to interact.

Several new tabs have been added to our website:

  • PaLMPrints: a mini newspaper providing news, book and movies reviews, commentaries and other reports.
  • The Dig: is about unearthing, revealing, and discovering our history because as someone once said, we can't know where we're going until we know where we've been.
  • Community: Events, announcements, opportunities to serve and other community resources are listed here.

I am excited to see where God will take this website. Stop by often and learn what's happening!

If you would like to join me as a volunteer in helping to build, maintain and grow this website, drop me line [click here].
