Weekly Impact 12/02/21

This Sunday we will begin a new series, taking us up to Christmas, about the hope that is found in Jesus. This series may not be all about Jesus’ birth, but it will be all about the message of hope, forgiveness, and redemption that Jesus came to bring. This will be a great series to invite your family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors to as we talk about how Jesus takes the mess that we have made and transforms it through the message of His love.

It is the time of year that we look for ways to share gifts with those that mean a lot to us, and at Temple we try to make sure that includes Jesus! Each year we do what we call “Our Gift for Our Savior”. It is an opportunity for us to give back to Jesus on the celebration of His birth. We encourage you to consider a monetary gift through the church, above and beyond your regular tithes and offerings, as a way of saying thank you to Jesus for coming to rescue us.  Our goal as a church this year is $75,000 which will be used to bless missionaries, provide Christmas bonuses for the staff, fund the remodeling bathrooms in the gym, enhance our Sunday morning worship experiences in house and through our livestream, and to help our ministries accomplish more as we look to: improve our children’s check-in process, help our student ministry reach more kids in our schools and get them connected through weekend events during the year, and fund more opportunities for our college ministry to have events on campus to reach more college students. Please be praying about what you might give to Jesus and get ready to be a part of this with your church family on December 19th.

We believe prayer is a catalyst for us to see God at work in His church here at Temple. As we continue to look for more ways to incorporate prayer into the life of the church, we will be adding a Saturday night prayer event once a month starting in 2022. This will take place the Saturday night before the first Sunday of each month, the first one taking place on January 1st. We will gather in the worship center to have a beginning prayer together and then we will invite people to spread out through the worship center and through the building to pray for the things that will be taking place in the worship services and ministries the next day as well as through that month. We believe God when He says, “you do not have because you do not ask” (James 4:2). Let’s begin to ask God to do greater things through His church here at Temple.
