The ministry of fellowship coordinates all the activities that have built us into a joyful and loving community. These include Sunday fellowship hour, Sunday and Thursday evening fellowship suppers, monthly birthday celebrations and special fellowship events. Our church life information center includes a bulletin board, a digital photo album of church activities, a table full of printed material and a map that depicts where our members and adherents live: throughout Staten Island – and also beyond to Queens and New Jersey.
These are the anchoring Scriptures for our Ministry of Fellowship.
All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the Lord has blessed. – Isaiah 61:9b
(Jesus said) “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples if you love one another." – John 13:34
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. – Acts 2:44-47
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching. – Hebrews 10:23-25
(Jesus said) "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you." (John 15:15}
