Calvary Chapel Moments

Mark

2010-06-27T07:05:00.000-04:00

Mark professed being held captive by several sins which on his own he was not able to leave behind. However, with Christ he was released from those sins and has grown spiritually and is on a journey to become the man God created him to be.

Elizabeth

2010-06-27T07:00:00.001-04:00

The youngest to be baptized this day was Elizabeth. She gave a wonderful testimony on how she has heard about the Lord from a very young age and now wanted to acknowledge in front of everyone that she is a believer and lover of Christ.

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?

Snow Camp at Word Of Life Bible Institute

2009-03-05T23:54:00.001-05:00

On February 20th, 2009 the Calvary teens took a 5 hour ride up to Word of Life Bible Institute to have some fun in the snow but most of all to draw closer to God. As you will see while viewing the photos it was a great time had by all, including the chaperons, one of which was the cause of much havoc.

During the last rally the kids attended they were faced with making a decision on whether they will choose to sit on the chair that represents themselves or the chair that represents following God. I was happy to see that several of our teens decided to make a stand that day to sit on the chair that represents following Christ.

When you least expect it........

2nd Annual Mariners Harbor Christmas Tree Lighting

2008-12-07T23:39:00.002-05:00

"New York City Christmas" was this year's theme for the 2nd Annual Mariners Harbor Christmas tree lighting event. Many people from the neighborhood gathered together on a very cold day to sing traditional Christmas songs, cheer the children from the local public school who sang and danced and see the tree get lit. After the tree lighting everyone gathered together indoors where it was nice and warm. Pastor Dave shared the Christmas story and the worship team, young and old worshiped in song. It was an awesome evening for all.

2008-12-07T23:31:00.003-05:00

Children had a wonderful time having their face painted and partcipating in crafts.

Oh the weather outside was frightful.....

....but Calvary Chapel's worship team praised on.

2008-12-07T23:20:00.000-05:00

Thanks to our media ministry team, some people were able to stay inside where it was nice and warm to see the tree lighting.

2008-12-07T23:13:00.000-05:00

Pastor Dave shares the amazing story of Christmas and invites everyone to accept the greatest gift of all.

And the winner is.....

2008-12-07T22:48:00.004-05:00

How exciting to win a prize!!!

But the biggest prize on Christmas is the birth of our savior - Jesus Christ - and the best news is we can all be winners if we just believe and accept.

Apple Picking at Warwick, New York

Saturday, October 18th was a fun filled day at Warwick, New York as Calvary Chapel's CrossFire and SoulFire went apple picking. Afterwards they all came back to the church and made apple pies to sell the next day. All proceeds went towards the youth ministry for future events and missions work. Thanks to all those who purchased a pie and supported the ministry.

That was the theme to the Women of Influence 2008 Retreat held at the

It was a wonderful time of fellowship with other ladies where we had the opportunity to become little girls again as we played jump rope, double dutch, tennis, miniature golf and even rolling down a hill of grass.

On Sunday, May 25th, Calvary Chapel celebrated its 10th year building anniversary by having a picnic in the backyard. Ten years ago, God blessed us with the church building located at 30 Maple Parkway. Many improvements have been made, the most recent being the new bathrooms, but what we are most grateful for is the new families and people we have been able to serve in our community.

Triple Play!

On Sunday, December 16th, 2007 Calvary Chapel hosted its first Mariner's Harbor Christmas Tree Lighting.

During a time when it is "politically incorrect" to have Christ in Christmas, many gathered at Calvary Chapel to say Jesus is the reason for the season. Over 300 residents of the Mariners Harbor area gathered together to sing Christmas carols, eat, drink refreshments, and listen to Pastor Dave proclaim the miracle of Christmas.

There was not one empty seat and as you view the pictures you will see that everyone had a wonderful time celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

May you be fully blessed this Christmas season knowing that Jesus was, is and always will be the reason for the season.

Merry Christmas!

Everyone anxiously awaits the lighting of the tree
