Below are details on upcoming church-wide events happening at Lima Baptist Temple.
Month of October
Deacon Nominations
Deacons are gifted servants who respond to and manage needs in our church. They're organized into teams that fill specific areas of need at Lima Baptist Temple.

Monday, November 4 | 6:00 PM
Prayer Gathering
If we could see what actually happens when we pray, we would never stop praying. The first Monday of every month is a time for our church to come together and unite in prayer. We worship in song and powerfully seek God’s will through prayer. We pray for each other, our church, community, country, and more. It’s our prayer to desire God above all else and seek His wisdom.
November 10 - December 8
Angel Tree
We are partnering with Lima’s Salvation Army to bless local families in need. Our goal is to provide Christmas gifts for 100 kids in Lima. Pick a specific name from the trees in the Welcome Center starting Sunday, November 10. Please drop off unwrapped gifts by Sunday, December 8 to the church office or Welcome Center.

Mission Focus Sunday
Mission Focus Sunday happens every other month at 10 AM on a Sunday morning. All adult and teen groups will meet in the auditorium.

Surviving the Holidays
The holiday season can be challenging when grieving a loved one’s death -- even when we think we’re “doing okay.” At “Surviving the Holidays” you’ll discover what’s ‘normal’, how to deal with emotions, what to do about traditions, and other helpful tips to navigate the season wisely. Join us Saturday morning, November 23 from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM in the Conference Room. Please RSVP below. This class will be led by Pastor Ben with some special testimonies from our church.

Thanksgiving Communion
Thanksgiving is a special time of year to partake in the Lord’s Supper together. We will give thanks to God for all He has done in the past, present, and what He will do in the future for His Children. We will be passing the communion elements during the service and all elements are gluten friendly.
