STREET 2 STREET BUSHWICK

Street 2 Street is a 3-on-3 tournament that takes place throughout NYC every summer. It's a great opportunity for Middle and High Schoolers to compete. At the same time, it is a faith based program which allows time to pray with the athletes and share the gospel.

Well over 100 participants were involved. They received free jerseys, lunch, and water. What a great outreach and opportunity to serve the youth in our neighborhood. Enjoy some of the highlights in the video.

SWERVE AT SHAPE UP BUSHWICK

6/5/2015

0 Comments

 
We're all about loving God, loving people, and serving our community. We had a very practical opportunity to serve our neighbors at the 3rd Annual Shape Up Bushwick.

Every year for Brooklyn/Queens Day the residents of Bushwick get together to celebrate a short march around the neighborhood and enjoy some festivities at Irving Square Park. This year, we were able to participate and set up a table where we offered free waters to anyone who was thirsty.

It's is really a part of our DNA to seek our opportunities to serve our community in tangible and practical way. While we were there we were also able to get to meet some of our neighbors and tell them a little about the new church coming to Bushwick.

This summer is full of opportunities to serve and invite others to be a part of this new life-giving, gospel-centered church in the community of Bushwick. Be sure to stay plugged in via Facebook, Twitter, or sign up for our email newsletter.

BROOKLYN NETS PROJECT

The Basketball Nets Outreach was birthed in the summer of 2014. Basketball in the city is huge. On any given summer day you can pass by a court and see pickup games going on. Most basketball courts however do not have nets. Last year we visited 3 parks to hang up a total of 11 nets. This year by God’s grace we will be able to do way more, even extending our reach beyond Bushwick. Here’s what we do:
  •  HANG - We provide and hang up nets for our local parks. This year we plan to visit parks in Bushwick, East Williamsburg, Bed Stuy, East NY, and Ridgewood.
  • GIVE - We giveaway free bottles of water to all the players and families throughout the park.
  • PLAY - After hanging the nets we stick around to play a game or two. This is used as an opportunity to meet the people at the park. You never know what relationships may begin and what gospel conversations may be had.

This is such a simple and practical way to serve the needs of our community. At the same time, the nets add a certain look to the court that helps to beautify the park letting people know that they are valuable. We are looking forward to all that God has in store for us this summer.

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting two opportunities for the youth of Bushwick to join us in a special free Basketball Camp this summer! We are ironing out all the details, but here's what you can expect. Youth will learn various basketball drills. They will be taught the fundamentals of the game along with skills to help improve their dribbling, shooting, and passing.

We are super excited for this opportunity to bless the youth of our community. However, space is limited. The finer details of the events as far as exact dates and location will be made known soon. But you can expect the camp to take place in the month of July and definitely somewhere in Bushwick.

Visit our Basketball Camp page to sign up to be placed on the list and to have information passed on as it comes. You definitely do not want to miss this opportunity. It will probably be the most memorable part of the kids summer.

Pictures will be posted on to the Serve Church Facebook page where you can share, tag, and like. You can also save it right on to your computer or phone.

You can help make it a success by letting everyone you know about the free candy and pictures. It's all taking place on Friday, October 31st at 6 pm by Maria Hernandez Park in Bushwick Brooklyn.

Swerve Church is a new Church Plant coming to the community of Bushwick in Brooklyn. Our mission is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus. We're committed to the capital "C" church because we know we can do infinitely more together than apart.

Christmas At Covenant House

11/6/2013

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.
