June 14 Traditional Worship Service

Cliff Temple Baptist Church Traditional Worship Service

Within the span of a few weeks, our nation has shifted from our focus on COVID-19 to the systemic injustices aggravated and illuminated by the pandemic. Today Pastor Brent’s message from Galatians 2 is on the vision of humanity where everyone has a place at the table with equitable treatment, and how we get there. Join us at 9am and 11am on the Cliff Temple Baptist Church FB page.

Youth Summer Camp, June 21-26

This summer our youth will be participating in a virtual camp through Passport Camps. We have used Passport many times in the past and we’ve always been impressed with their programming and care for each individual student. We are sad that we can't do a traditional camp or mission trip where we travel; however, we feel, along with our youth leadership, that this is the best decision during this time. The cost is only $25 to participate (breaks down to $5 per day). Please go to clifftemple.org/camp to pay online by June 16.

The students will be able to log on each day during week of June 21-26. Each day has different programming that will make the student feel as if they are there.

There will be:
- suggested missional projects your son or daughter can do safely in your neighborhood
- music and devotionals from camp pastors
- digital/downloadable files from their website. You can also download an app, or a pdf if you prefer that
- dress-up party one night, zoom calls, etc.

If you have any questions, let Kenny know: [email protected] or 214-734-8155

[06/07/20]   Join us for traditional worship now as we pray for our community, hear about God’s kingdom and imagine a world where God’s justice is done. Share and invite others to worship with us.

We're live at 9am today. Praying for our community, for racial justice, for comfort for those who grieve. God's people need to pray. Join us for contemporary worship as we're reminded to seek God's kingdom and righteousness first. Share for others to join in.

Way to go Cliff Temple! So far we have raised $17,529 toward our $25,000 Thank Offering goal. This offering will assist benevolence needs for church members who have lost income or have other practical needs due to the COVID-19 crisis. You can help us reach our goal. Go now to cliff temple.org/give and bless a church member in need.

Our Spring Thank Offering with a goal of $25,000 is focused on helping members of our church that have short-term financial needs that cannot otherwise be met. Please visit clifftemple.org/give to donate. Thank you.

If you have an emergency need, please email your request to Kenny Cheshier, [email protected]. Then, the Benevolence Committee will review requests to determine how funds, services, and assistance are distributed.

Our benevolence ministry is based upon James 2:14-16: What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?
