Classes for this session of Open Community include: 

The Anxious Generation book study - Join Eric Eades and Desi Wisser as they facilitate a weekly conversation about Jonathan Haidt's book which explores how the great rewiring of childhood is causing an epidemic of mental illness. Books can be picked up in the office. Please read Section 3 for 9/18 and Section 4 for 9/25.

Spiritual Labs with Pastor Andy - Three stand alone classes on practical ways to connect with God. Week two is on the gift of small groups. Week three will look at how to read the scripture for transformation. 

Temple Kidz - Temple Kidz will have Messy Church because faith is sometimes messy! There, kids will get their hands dirty making things like stained glass creations and watercolor paintings; they'll get their bodies moving playing messy games led by our Temple Youth. Our only request: please do not wear your Sunday best.

**Childcare Available for infants to Pre-K**

Tonight's dinner is pasta provided by one of our men's small groups!

Have questions? We can help! Reach out to the church office at 812-476-1306.

Children's Center Amazon Wish List

Our Methodist Temple Children's Center will be throwing a Costume Party in October! To ensure this is the best day for the kids of The Center, we asked they share their needs with our congregation. If you're interested in helping out, click here to view their Amazon Wish List!

Scout Popcorn Sales

Methodist Temple's Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts will have a popcorn sales table in Fellowship Hall from 9:30am to 11:00am on Sunday mornings through October 27. The popcorn sales proceeds really help to fund our programs during the year!

Methodist Temple Columbarium

The Methodist Temple Board of Trustees is gauging interest in building a second Columbarium tower. The Trustees are requesting the congregation to express interest via deposits toward the purchase of their own niche. If you are interested in having a niche, please contact the church office to submit a $100 deposit before the end of the year. If there are 20 deposits by year end, then the Trustees will start the process of building a second tower. The total cost per niche is expected to be approximately $1000. In order to retain your niche you would need to pay the balance due once the tower is built. If we do not get 20 deposits by year end, your deposit will be returned to you and we will discontinue consideration of a second tower.

What is a Columbarium?

A columbarium is a structure with niches for funeral urns to be stored. The columbarium at Methodist Temple is the large stone structure in the memory garden to the west of the sanctuary that has brass drawers called niches. These niches contain the cremated remains of members of our church. The first tower of 84 niches was built in 2004 and all niches have been sold. There are foundations and space for two more Columbarium towers at Methodist Temple.
