Temple Baptist Life

At Temple Baptist life does not stop as we get older. Forever Young is our ministry for those 50+.  Check the calendar for our events.  We will be planning several programs such as ministry to homebound, regular visitation, transportation, home repair help and mail and phone contacts.  Everyone is welcome.  If you know someone who needs a visit or other help, please call Linda Haltom.  For other information or to get involved, call Linda Haltom at 719-207-4443.

After 3 years…

After three years as the Coordinator of Forever Young (the senior ministry for those 50+), it is time for me to resign and make way for someone else to take this on. The best thing would be for Christ to lay this on the heart of a retired couple. Please pray to see if this is something that the Lord is calling you to do. Ministry funds have been requested for 2012 and I would be glad to meet with whoever is interested in the ministry and getting involved.

I have enjoyed getting to know many of the seniors of Temple Baptist Church, but the Lord has called me into other areas of ministry. The Lord spoke to me during the Beth Moore study of Esther to be involved in Salida Christian School as your representative. This takes much of my time. Sam & I have also recently started teaching the Young Adults Sunday School Class and we are committed to helping young families in our church. We both also want to stay involved in missions and Bible Studies. I will also continue to help Kathy with the Ladies Ministry and help provide opportunities for church-wide fellowship to encourage us to be a real family.

I have this plaque beside my desk at home “I’ve learned that the Lord didn’t do it all in one day and neither can I.” Each of us get the same amount of time in a day and it is important to do only what He wants us to do. If we do this, we do not become weary in doing well. God bless each of you and Temple Baptist Church.

Birthday Potluck: Sunday, January 29th will be our first potluck of 2012 and we will celebrate those with birthdays in January and February.  The church will provide the meat and the cake. Plan to bring your favorite side dish and stay to have fellowship with your church family.
