SUMMARY:Outreach Food Distribution
DESCRIPTION:Community Food Distribution | Every Third Saturday\nOpen to the community: 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.\nThe Temple of Praise | 700 Southern Ave. SE, Washington, DC 20032\nIf your household could use food support—or you know someone who could, please join us for our monthly Community Food Distribution. Our Outreach Ministry will be on hand to welcome you, provide food, offer prayer, and share the hope of salvation through Jesus Christ. We invite you to pass this information along to a neighbor, friend, or family member who may benefit.\n \nOutreach Ministry Volunteer Opportunities:\nEvery Third Wednesday | Ward 8 Produce Hub Support\nVolunteer hours: 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.\nHelp our Outreach Ministry prepare for and host the Capital Area Food Bank’s Ward 8 Produce Hub. Volunteers support the work of serving our neighbors and helping the day run smoothly from preparation through cleanup. Please arrive no later than noon, as cleanup will conclude by 1:00 p.m.\nEvery Third Friday | Preparation for Community Resource Day\nVolunteer hours: 10:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m.\nFriday is our primary setup day, and there is plenty of meaningful work to share! Volunteers may help unload deliveries, organize food and supplies, set up ministry areas, prepare equipment, and assist with other Outreach needs. Our goal is to have as much as possible ready before Saturday morning so we can give our full attention to serving our community with excellence. Please arrive no later than 7:00 p.m., as all work will conclude by 8:00 p.m.\nSaturday, October 17 | Third Saturday Community Resource Day\nVolunteer hours: 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.\nJoin us as we welcome individuals and families for a day of care and community support. Help distribute food, assist with resources, welcome our guests, and support the Outreach team throughout the day. Please arrive no later than 2:00 p.m., as service and cleanup will conclude by 3:00 p.m.\nThere is a place for you to make a difference at The Temple of Praise! Our Outreach Ministry invites you to help us care for our neighbors through the Capital Area Food Bank’s Ward 8 Produce Hub every third Wednesday and TOP Community Resource Day every third Saturday, both held at The Temple of Praise.\nServing our community begins long before the doors open. Throughout the week, volunteers help prepare food, organize supplies, and get everything ready to welcome our neighbors with care. Whether you can help behind the scenes or serve alongside us during distribution, your time and willingness matter.\nJesus reminds us in Matthew 25:35–36 (NLT):\n“For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.”\nThese words remind us that meeting everyday needs is a meaningful expression of our faith. From distributing food and providing resources to praying with families and offering a warm welcome, each act of service helps someone feel seen, valued, and cared for. As we continue Building a People to Build, we are building community by putting God’s love into action.\nWhether you are coming to serve or receive support, you are part of our community, and we look forward to welcoming you.\nOne Church. One Vision. One People. Building Together.\n

SUMMARY:Vision Sunday Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Formation & Education Hour: 9–10 a.m.\nVision Sunday Worship Service: 10:30 a.m.\n\n\nOne Church. One Vision. One People. Building Together.\nGod is doing something in and through The Temple of Praise, and we want you to be a part of it!\nJoin us for Vision Sunday, held every fourth Sunday of the month, as we come together in worship, celebrate what God is doing in our church community, and continue moving forward in the vision of Building a People to Build.\nEach month, Vision Sunday gives us an opportunity to reconnect with the vision God has placed before us, celebrate the progress we’re making, and focus on how we can continue building together. Through our four priorities—Building Leaders, Building Disciples, Building Community, and Building Stewardship—we’re discovering how each of us has a role in strengthening our church, serving others, and making a lasting difference beyond our walls.\nVision isn’t something we revisit once a year. It’s something we live out every day, and every fourth Sunday is an opportunity to see how we’re growing and where we’re going next.\nBetter disciples. Better servants. Better stewards. Better together.\nSunday, December 27, 2026 | 10:30 AM\nThe Temple of Praise\n700 Southern Avenue SE\nWashington, DC 20032\nWhether you’re part of our Temple Family or joining us for the first time, there’s a place for you in what God is building. Come worship with us, bring someone along, and let’s continue building together!\nBefore Worship: Join us every Sunday for BUILD, our Formation & Education Hour, from 9–10 AM, with opportunities for every generation to grow in God’s Word and in community.\n\n\n
