thanks to all who participated in our on mission together weekend!
Our On Mission Together Weekend was a HUGE success!! We enjoyed a wonderful dinner out on Friday evening at Perkins Restaurant. It was a nice, relaxing time for people to connect as we got ready for our busy day on Saturday.
Saturday morning we worked on clearing and cleaning the yard for a member of our community who needed help and couldn't do the work by herself. She was at risk of several fines and penalties by the city, but we had a large group of hard-working people to help and we got the work done in just a few hours - not bad considering the size of the yard! You can see the picture of the house after we finished below!
Saturday evening, we had our Potluck Dinner and Game Night! Pam and Pat Devoid worked tirelessly with help from several of our members to make this event a success! Everyone enjoyed a lovely dinner, and Don Haas hosted our Trivia Scrabble game afterwards! SO MUCH FUN!!
We've got many, many people to thank for making this happen - Sue Barr coordinated the events and made everything look easy!!; Pam and Pat Devoid made sure that our potluck dinner and game night was lots of fun - with help from Don Haas, who was our "game show" host!; so many people worked on our morning mission doing yard cleanup, then went home and prepared something to bring to our potluck dinner! THANK YOU ALL!!

New to Temple Terrace UMC?
Welcome! We can't wait to introduce you to our community and tell you about all the good things God is doing in our church family. No matter where you've come from and where you are on your spiritual journey, we want to come alongside you - to inspire, equip and encourage you to live out a life that will bring glory to God and be a blessing to the world.
Living in Community
Being an instrument of hope to our community starts with our family. "Living in Community" means walking side by side through the ups and downs of life. It's more than simply going to church on Sunday - it's knowing that you've got a family to share in your victories, and to pick you up when life knocks you down. One of the best ways to get involved in our community is to attend our Discipleship Classes or small groups - this gives you a chance to get to know your church family better in a smaller, more personal environment.
Sunday Morning
Our Sunday morning worship services provide an opportunity to for all of us to honor God with our prayers, our presence, our gifts and our service. This is not only a time of praise and worship, but it can also be a time of reflection as we hear God's word and learn to apply it in our daily lives. Because our community is diverse, we offer different types of worship to allow our family to hear the word in a setting that is meaningful for them. Our Traditional Worship Service begins in the sanctuary at 10am, and The Fellowship offers contemporary worship in the Fellowship Hall at 11am.
Children's Ministry
Our Children's Ministry is truly a highlight of what we offer at Temple Terrace UMC. We meet every child where they are and we teach them God's word in a loving environment. We offer Sunday School beginning at 10am on Sundays, with Children's Choir rehearsals starting at 11:15 on Sunday mornings. Check out the link below for more information on our Children's Ministry.
Temple Terrace UMC Preschool
At Temple Terrace UMC, we recognize the importance of having a positive influence in the lives of our children as early as possible. Our Preschool allows us to partner with children and their families to prepare them for their educational future with a loving, positive focus in a Christ-centered environment.

Donate to Temple Terrace UMC
We believe that financial giving is a way God has called us to worship Him. Some churches tend to be shy in asking for donations to keep ministry going. We believe in absolute transparency with our finances, understanding that people in the past tend to second guess where their money goes when they give it to a church. We believe that having you see our spending will encourage you to give more, and make more of an impact in this world for the gospel.
