The Callaways are nearing the end of their long, but exciting, journey through Iowa! What a great experience for the whole family!
We can't wait to hear the stories! Don't forget to stick your front tire in the Mississippi River at the end of your fabulous ride!

August 27th- Activities Fair
Join us in the Fellowship Hall after worship for light refreshments and an opportunity to see all that Christian Temple offers.
VOLUNTEER WITH THE KIDS!
Our children's ministry can't run without volunteers. Please consider volunteering with our children during Children at Worship/Transformers in August or September as we begin sharing Godly Play with them! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C084CACA928ABF5C34-christian
KIDS ACTIVITIES DURING JULY
During the month of July while Transformers is taking a break, we will offer an activity for children 3rd grade and below in the prayground! We do ask for a parent or guardian to be with their child in the prayground, if possible.
NEW SUNDAY FORUM STUDY
Join the Forum this Sunday for a new study of Diana Butler Bass' Freeing Jesus. We will discuss one chapter a week, but don't let the book be a barrier to joining us! It will be a stimulating discussion.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The new church fiscal year has begun, and your generous pledges are a blessing to us all! AN IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR THOSE WHO GIVE AUTOMATICALLY VIA THE WEBSITE:
IF YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR PLEDGE FOR ’23-‘24, please update it online, and be sure to cancel any pending withdrawals that reflect your commitment from last year. We don’t want you getting double deducted; no need to be that generous!
Please feel free to contact the church office at (410) 747-2041 or office@christiantemple.org if you need any help.
