Part of our mission is to express the love of Jesus through acts of service and charitable giving locally and throughout the world. Our ministry of service coordinates a wide range of projects – some are ongoing and some are periodic.
The ongoing projects include Bountiful Harvest, our work with Project Hospitality, benevolent giving, food drives and our work with the Silver Lake Care Manor. You will find additional information about each project in this section of the website.
In addition, our ministry of service also holds a semi-annual free yard “sale”, coordinates our participation in
Operation Christmas Child and arranges for our members and adherents to work with other Staten Island organizations in projects like beach clean-ups, walkathons, etc.
These are the anchoring Scriptures for our Ministry of Service.
Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. – Matthew 5:16
[Jesus said] "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. . . . I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." – Matthew 25:31-36, 40
