Weekly Impact 08/03/2023

This Sunday
We will be back to our 2-service schedule with services at 9:00 & 10:30am.
This Sunday is also our kids Promotion Sunday. If you have a child going into kindergarten, they will begin attending our children's worship. If you have a child going into 5th grace, they will begin attending our middle school group. If you have a student about to start 7th grade, they will begin sitting in the service and we encourage you to get them involved in our student ministry that will kick back off on Wednesday, August 16th.
This weekend we continue walking through the book of Mark together. This week we will be in chapter 10 verses 46-52 and looking into the account of the blind man who cried out to Jesus to have mercy on him. As you hear this story it should remind all of us of how much we need Jesus, and that we should all cry out for Him to have mercy on us. We hope to see you Sunday and encourage you to invite someone to meet you here.

Back to School
Each year as we get ready to send our kids back to school we also look for ways to be a blessing to our community. Last year we began a new partnership with Fox Meadow School of Creative Arts (A.k.a. Fox Meadow Intermediate School). This year they have shared these needs with us as they get ready to kick off the 2023-24 school year:

• Backpacks (for kids in 3rd-6th grade)
• Boys sweatpants
• Girls leggings
• Solid Colored t-shirts
• Socks

While you are out buying things for your children (grandchildren) please consider picking something up for these kids who may be less fortunate. If your kids are already grown this is a great way to still invest in the next generations. There will be a bin in the foyer where you can drop these supplies off during the month of August.

Faith Bible Institute
In case you are not aware, we offer in-depth Bible Study (college level) here at Temple through a course called Faith Bible Institute. Through these classes you dig into every book in the Bible, learn the major Doctrinal beliefs found in Scripture, and learn about spiritual disciplines and other valuable insights into the Word of God. This is a three-year course with classes in the fall and in the spring, with electives offered during the summer. They meet on Tuesday nights from 6:30 to 9:30.
