Gathering of the Temple
​
​
​
​
​
​
Many of the services and ministries we engage in for enrichment are also done online. This enables everyone, no matter where you live, to have quick access to information and to their fellow members.
​
​
​
Zoom has proven to be a very easy to use utility that has gained in popularity during the Covid-19 pandemic. Used by businesses throughout the world, it’s also available to the general public free of charge.
​
Each week, a Gathering of the Temple discussion is held on line using Zoom. This software allows computer users to speak on a chat channel with fellow computer users, much like a telephone conference call. We encourage all Brothers and Sisters to attend if at all possible.
​
Each week we have a new guest speaker who will share experiences of their walk with our Lord, discuss scripture and other topics of great interest. It’s an excellent opportunity to “plug in” and take advantage of the life experiences and wisdom of others who love our Lord.
Each Gathering of the Temple is approximately one hour in duration. The guest speaker shares his or her story for approximately 20 minutes and the balance of the hour consists of an open session with Q&A. It’s an excellent way to experience fellowship with your Brothers & Sisters and add value to the lives of everyone.
Recommended Reading
To more fully understand what it means to be a Templar, we highly recommend the following publications which are available from Amazon.
Not only will you become very well versed on Templar history, but several of these publications provide amazing insight and motivational dialogue on exactly what our Lord and Savior expects from every one of us. You won't be disappointed!

Scripture reminds us that the purpose of Preparedness is not for selfish goals, but that we may be a blessing to our families, our communities and to others in times of hardship, emergency or natural disaster. Fr Ray Spreier heads up this readiness group for the Order.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As a member, you have many opportunities to engage in a variety of ministries in our Order. We encourage active involvement to enhance your personal experience as you add value to the lives of others.
​
We want you to make us a part of your life, but one in which that is in balance with all the other parts of your life. We want you to be an excellent parent, spouse, employee, church member. We do not want you to take anything away from those areas of your life.
The expectations placed upon you can easily be met with only a minimal sacrifice of time. Yes, it will still be a sacrifice. We never seem to have the time for new things, but we must make time in our Order to help others.
There is great reward to all the things we do as Templars. It's truly a blessing when we take the opportunity to be there for someone when they really need you or touching the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves. There is a wonderful feeling that goes along with getting involved. These will not be wasted moments! They are moments you invest into a great return!
