On one of the coldest days of recent NYC history, we were able to setup at the corner of Knicerbocker and Myrtle Ave. to give out some hot chocolate to our neighbors.

We're constantly seeking out ways to tangibly serve our community and show Christ's love. Would you like to come along next time? Be sure to contact us and we will keep you in the loop.

Christmas is fast approaching! Can you believe it? Soon we'll be decking the halls and fighting for parking spots at the mall.

Around this time we get extremely busy and it can actually be a quite stressful time of the year. But for most of us we'll have family to spend the holidays with. We'll indulge in all different types of rich and delicious food. Many of us even have a loving church family that we can visit and laugh with.

But there are many people in NYC who won't treasure those moments. They will not spend time with their family. They will not indulge in a huge meal. They do not have much reason to laugh.

That is unless you make a difference in their lives. Unless you make moments for them to treasure. Unless you become their family if only for an evening. If you give them food to enjoy. Unless you put a smile on their face.

We'd like to invite you to Covenant House, a place of refuge for homeless, runaway and at-risk youth. For about the past five years or so, we have been going the first Saturday of the month so share 

 some hope with the youth there.

With Christmas fast approaching, we'd love to do something extra special this time. I'd like to know if you want to help? Help this day be a moment they will remember forever. That evening in December that some Christians got together to give a group of youth a great time. That fed some tummies and put smiles on some faces.

So, how can you help? We want to bring them some of the most delicious desserts they ever tasted. Maybe you enjoy baking cookies or cake. Share your favorite cake or cookie! Not much of a baker? Could you purchase some paper plates, plastic cups, utensils or napkins?

Another way you can help is by sharing your talents. Do you have a musical talent? Do you have an inspiring testimony? Do you enjoy sharing the gospel through poetry or spoken word? Please let us know if you'd like to participate with your talents at the event.

So, what are you going to do? We'd love to see you December 7th at 6:30 PM at Covenant House.
