The sights and sounds of this year's Blessing of gthe Animals with St. Francis Episcopal Church and Covenant Lutheran Church Temple Texas on October 5, 2019.

St. Francis Episcopal Church, Christ Episcopal Church, and Covenant Lutheran Church Temple Texas will celebrate the special relationship we have with our pets in the annual event, Blessing of the Animals. If you have a feathered, furry, or scaley loved one, join us on Saturday, October 5, at 10 AM, at St. Francis Episcopal Church, 5001 Hickory Road, Temple. There is no cost to attend and everyone is welcome. This is a great way for everyone to experience a church service with their animal companions.

Heath Abel, the Pastor from Covenant Lutheran Church Temple Texas, is leading this month's discussion.

"A Catholic Priest and a Lutheran Pastor walk into a bar. We have come a long way in 500 years. Let's sit down and have a beer!"

Join us for the Priest's Pint at 6:30 pm this Thursday!

Great evening of singing and food and fellowship at Country Lane! Thanks to all who helped with food and serving and cleaning up afterwards. Such a fun ministry to be a part of!

Great singalong at Country Lane tonight. Some new faces, yummy food, and lots of happy voices. If you want to help with one of these meals, please sign up at the church. It’s a lot of fun.

Baptism!!

The best of times will be the wurst of times. Covenant Lutheran Church, 4202 Hickory Road in Temple, will host “The Best of the Wurst” wurstfest 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 12. Linda Domelsmith, event coordinator, said proceeds from the fundraiser will be donated to Churches Touching Lives for Christ in Temple and Faith Lutheran Church in Dickinson, which was flooded during Hurricane Harvey and lost everything inside the building.

In a world that is simultaneously a beautiful wonder and a damaged creation, our time seems stretched and our resources too few. In a bold statement of Faith, we at Covenant continue to turn to God’s Word to sort it all out. At the very minimum, we know that Jesus brought peace, healing, and direction to a broken world. We join in His mission to care for the lost and the hungry. We hope to create

"Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live, a place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive. Built of hopes and dreams and visions, rock of faith and vault of grace; here the love of Christ shall end divisions: All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place" (ELW 641).

In these days between Ascension and Pentecost, we gather with the disciples in the upper room, waiting for the Spirit to transform the church around the world. In Sunday’s gospel Jesus prays for his followers and for their mission in his name. Amid religious, social, and economic divisions, we seek the unity that Jesus had with his Father. Made one in baptism, we go forth to live our faith in the world, eager for the unity that God intends for the whole human family.

In Sunday’s gospel the risen Christ appears to the disciples and offers them the gift of peace. Even amid doubts and questions, we experience the resurrection in our Sunday gathering around word and meal, and in our everyday lives. Throughout the coming Sundays of Easter the first two readings will be from the Acts of the Apostles and the first letter of Peter. Even as the early Christians proclaimed the resurrection, we rejoice in the new birth and living hope we receive in baptism.

Baptism is sometimes called enlightenment. The gospel for this Sunday is the story of the man born blind healed by Christ. “I was blind, now I see,” declares the man. In baptism God opens our eyes to see the truth of who we are: God’s beloved children. As David was anointed king of Israel, in baptism God anoints our head with oil, and calls us to bear witness to the light of Christ in our daily lives.

Today we commemorate: Patrick, bishop, missionary to Ireland, died 461. A native of Britain, Patrick was kidnapped by pirates at age sixteen and sold into slavery in Ireland. After a few years, he escaped, returned home, and entered the ministry. Returning to Ireland, he successfully served as a bishop and missionary there.

According to legend, Saint Patrick used the three leaf clover to teach others about the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).
