… 𝑳𝒐𝒓𝒅, 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒖𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒚…And He said unto them, When ye pray, say, “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil” Luke‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬).

What a powerful blessing in church today 🙏🎶 The Welles family’s beautiful musical selection, “A Wall of Prayer,” truly touched our hearts and reminded us just how vital prayer is in our lives.

What a blessed and joy-filled day at church today! 🙌🏽⛪✨
We gathered in worship, lifted our hearts in praise, and celebrated some truly beautiful moments together. 💖
We were honored to welcome the mother of our worship leader, Mr. Kenneth Welles, into the house today — such a special blessing to have her with us! 🌸
We also celebrated two amazing young women in our church family for their academic achievements 🎓👏🏽 — one graduating from college and another from high school. Congratulations to both of them on this wonderful milestone! 🎉
And the joy continued as we shared in a beautiful baby shower for a beloved couple expecting their second child 👶🏽🍼💙. Truly, God is showering our church family with blessings upon blessings, and we are so grateful! 🙏🏽✨

On this Memorial Day, we give thanks to God, our ultimate protector and defender, and we lift up in prayer the families of the fallen, as well as those who continue to serve in our armed forces. May we, as a community of faith, be led by the Holy Spirit to show love, support, and gratitude in meaningful ways. ❤️
The photos and videos shared here are a powerful reminder of the freedoms we enjoy today—freedoms made possible by the courage and sacrifice of so many who served in the armed forces. We honor and remember them with gratitude.

On this Pentecost Sunday, we celebrate the birth of the Church and the gift of the Holy Spirit dwelling in every believer. 🙌🏽✨
After a week of wild weather swings in NYC—from summer heat to chilly lows—we were reminded today that while the world around us is constantly changing, our God never changes. He is faithful, trustworthy, and His love remains steadfast forever. ❤️
We rejoiced together in worship, celebrating our unity in Christ and the victory we have through His sacrifice and His ministry as our ultimate High Priest. More than 2,000 years after Pentecost, the Church is still standing strong, moving forward in faith, and awaiting the glorious return of Jesus Christ. 👑🕊️
The Church marches on triumphantly!

Feeling blessed on this chilly spring🌷Sunday in NYC! 🙏🗽
After days of surprising summer temps, stepping into God’s house with joyful praise felt amazing. We were honored to welcome Evangelist Joseph Kaiser, whose powerful and concise gospel message challenged us all to “Get It Fixed in 2026!” 🙌 Mr. Kenneth Welles and his talented son Josiah led us in uplifting worship—Josiah’s musical gift truly glorified the Lord. 🎶✨

Just like the early church, we capped off the service with warm fellowship and delicious food. Nothing better than sharing faith and good eats together! 🍽️❤️

🌷✨ What a beautiful spring Sunday in NYC! Gathering with the church family brought so much joy as we reflected on Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice for all humanity. 🙏 The inspiring message reminded us that Jesus is our eternal High Priest 𝐚𝐧𝐝 the Lamb who was offered as the sacrifice that satisfies all the demands of God’s justice for our sins. Worshipping together through heartfelt hymns truly made us feel united in Christ. 🎶❤️ A special shout-out to our beloved Mrs. Paula Mead (wife of Pastor Jason Mead) for her beautiful rendition of “The Power of the Cross”—it moved us all! 👏
After the service, as usual, we enjoyed amazing food and fellowship, plus a birthday celebration for our awesome brother, Mr. Ravi Ruplal, proud dad to our church’s newest and cutest member! 🎂👶
