We have been hearing different stories of generosity and inspirational giving from our congregation during Sunday morning worship as part of The Next 40 Years: Welcoming the Future, our capital campaign. Enjoy the Temple Talks from members of our community about their experiences with generosity and faith here on our podcast and here on Youtube.

SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER FOR SUNDAY FELLOWSHIP TIME. Would you like to bring in treats for our Spirit of Joy community and help serve our congregation? Sign up to help with Sunday fellowship time here. Fellowship volunteers bring treats for serving after our 9:30am Sunday worship service. They prepare coffee and set out the coffee and tea service, and serve and refresh coffee and treats after the service. Finally, they clean up the kitchen at the end of fellowship time. Thank you so much for volunteering for this ministry!
