Matthew 25:34-40

 

Then the king will say to those at his right hand, 'Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.'  Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink?  And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing?  And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?'  And the king will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.'

 

On Sunday, October 18th, In His Steps dance ministry visited the residents of Cosmos Nursing Home to provide them with an afternoon of scripture reading and worshiping through song and dance.  Upon entering the nursing home the mood was dismal and somber, however, by the end of the visit there were smiles, laughter, animated conversation, tears of joy and requests for another visit……..soon.  What a wonderful way to see scripture in action.

For the second year in a row Calvary Chapel hosted “A Break for Our Bravest – a Night Out for NYC Firefighters and their spouses/significant others.” Held at Staten Island’s premier catering hall, The LiGreci Staaten, the evening provided a respite from the tremendous stress experienced by the firefighters and their families. These individuals regularly demonstrate unconditional love by putting their lives on the line for those they don’t even now. A once a year appreciation dinner is the least we can do.

So what happens when Calvary Chapel invites NYC Firefighters to dinner?

You eat great food........
