Pastor Joe shares some of his toughest challenges and reminds us that all of our sufferings are the same in Christ. I learned to endure, and most importantly, to remain in the word of God. This is a wonderful church to uplift your spirit and keep you on track to walk the narrow path of the Lord.

Nativity Church in the East Village is affiliated with the Church of St. Teresa in the LES (141…read moreHenry Street). I really love this church- walking past this understated building on 2nd Ave you may not even realize it to be a church if it wasn't for the cross on top!! The church itself is very modest and intimate- the polar opposite of the fancy cathedral-type churches that impress you from the outside and have you feel like an outsider on the inside. The pastoral staff is SO wonderful. Rev. Donald Baker is really funny- I could listen to him all day. The choir is made up of a man (I forget his name)- his voice is extremely beautiful - he may be some sort of professional musician when he is not devoting time to the church) and another gentleman I believe his name is John - that sings lovely and plays the piano. The congregation itself is small and culturally diverse where everyone smiles at everyone no matter what their native language is. =) Fun Fact: In the Winter and Spring they hold a wine and cheese night on the third Sunday of every month after mass. Mass services are offered in English and Spanish. I decided to post the mass schedule here in case anyone is interested: Sunday: 10:15am in Spanish 12:00pm in English 7:30pm in English Monday-Friday: 5:30pm in English See you there!!!

I've never the chance to read reviews on this church and the only reason I stumbled upon it was…read morebecause I needed to know morning mass times, but I'm shocked to see to bad reviews. Seems to me that the two people giving the church a bad review is only based on the ringing on bells and not the quality of the community or church itself. This church has an amazing priest. Father Donald is a charismatic priest that is also a great speaker, both qualities a must during the homily at mass. He can take the readings and make them relevant. I'm sure he has his faults, we are all human after all. However, from my experience, every mass I've ACTUALLY attended has been a pleasure. I highly recommend 7:30 pm mass, which by the way, I remember by listening to the LOUD bells. The mass has great singers. Two nice guys that make the mass such an enjoyable experience. The singer's voice is amazing and the pianist is great. I certainly appreciate the use of the classical piano instead of the old fashioned organ. Thank you Lord for that! Ok, now about the BELL. I can imagine being an annoyance if I lived next door. I live a block away and I can hear them. However, in a city like NYC specially in the East Village, church bells are the least of our worries. Between EMS sirens, motorcycles (hells angels), drunk on the street screaming at 3am or loud music, CHURCH is the least of your problems. I agree with Jason on the homeless sleeping in front of the church, but that problem will never go away. It happens in front of all churches. That makes me sad. I hope this church never closes and that more people in the neighborhood would attend. Thanks!

St. Peter's Church in midtown was designated a New York City Landmark in 2016. The design is…read moreconsidered late mid-century modernism. The Church interior becomes eligible for designation on the National Register of Historic Places in 2027. My photos from over the years are missing. I was surprised to learn recently that the church complex stretches the entire city block between Lexington and Third Avenues between 53rd and 54th Streets. I always thought the church was in a space of the tall building paying rent! The St. Peter's Church complex includes an office tower, an atrium, a public plaza, a low-rise office building and the church building. While integrated within the complex the Church Sanctuary is free-standing. I'm still visiting this neighborhood periodically to see my doctors so I'll try once again to take photos. I'm recommending you check their website for a schedule of activities. They distribute food to the needy on some days, they have wonderful music performances and most importantly are accepting of everyone! Easy Five Stars.

"Great, is the Lord and Greatly to be Praised!" The Convent Avenue Baptist is a powerful church where Dr. Jesse T. Williams is the under shepherd. Moreover, the church, located in Harlem, New York, is experiencing broad growth, during a period of high gentrification. "Come on in, says Pastor Williams. We would love to have you. ---------STOP BY." Incidently, one of the Founders of the Convent Church, Dr. Lilian Fleshman, will celebrate her One Hundredth birthday on February 20, 2016 ----May the Good Lord, Bless her in her long and active life, and what she stood for in the past and what she has become ever so yearning to laugh, sing and play. Additionally, something wonderful is happening to the building structure at 420 West 145th Street. Notwithstanding, a brand new elevator is being put in place, for the ease of entry to the worship center which, will definitely draw and keep would be believers. No longer will many now challenged to climb West 145th Street and Convent Ave with steps that will soon be replaced by a beautiful elevator building. Available, are brochures depicting the edifice in progress and the plans that have been drawn to show different stages of design and workmanship requiring the difficult boring through Manhattan's bedrock. Hats off---- to Pastor J. T. Williams and church family who are bringing understanding to a world which is yearning to receive, the Blood of the Lamb. It is our prayer that "Specialist Angels" be sent to deliver the Peace of the Holy Spirit and who wisely are seeking to all who would suffer, and desire to: "To Walk Today Where Jesus Walked."

I decided to leave my old church and ended up at First Baptist in Hempstead. My friend was going to…read morechurch and this was the place I felt most at home in after I left my other church. The seating is auditorium/theatre seating, it isn't posh but I still like it. The sanctuary of the church is on the simple side, but I like that. There are bathrooms downstairs where the nursery is, and one handicap bathroom upstairs. David Vilceus is the new pastor of the church, he always gives a great message, he's very friendly and his family is great. There's a 6 PM service and an 11 AM service as well as an adult Sunday School at 9:45 AM. I haven't been to the Sunday School yet, I alternate between the 11 AM service and 6 PM service depending on if it's a Sunday I am working or not. This a great church, so far I've been happy here.
