The Allen Temple Health Education Ministry is partnering with the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) to bring important information on breast cancer that runs in families.   
  
On Saturday, May 3 from 9:00am to 11:00am  we will have a workshop that explains what family history means and what you can do about it.  How to SAVE LIVES.

Streets Disciples/For Sisters Only
Donations and Volunteer Appeal



The Streets Disciples Ministry's For Sisters Only Monthly Fellowship provides a place for women to be safe, nurtured, and to grow in themselves and the Lord.  During the third Saturday evening fellowship, women who have experienced exploitation are offered care, support, guidance, and resources.  We need your help to ensure that this fellowship can serve as many women as would like to come!  Would you prayerfully consider the following: 
  • Volunteer:  Setup, serve, cleanup.  Persons with sewing, knitting and crocheting skills to share and/or teach.  Clerical and technical support. 
  • Donations:  The ministry joyfully receives donations of cold weather accessories for ladies and children (gloves, hats, scarves, mittens; may be new or clean & gently used), toiletries, towels, sheets, pillowcases, and gift cards for food or non-perishable items. Donations are given to the ladies at the monthly fellowship, and may be made to the barrel in the FLC Lobby at any time.

For more information, please contact Sisters Mattie Johnson and Sheila Warren, Ministry Chairs, at (510) 544-8910. 

Prison Ministry Volunteer Drive


"Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies."
(Hebrews 13:3 NLT)

 

WE NEED YOU!

 

The Allen Temple Prison Ministry has been a staple of our church for over 35 years.  We are seeking members as young as 18 who have a heart for those who are in prison.  We regularly take our ministry to Santa Rita Jail, Glenn Dyer (Alameda County Jails) the Federal Correctional Institute (FCI), and San Quentin.

 

We are also in need of a pianist or musician, singer(s) and/or a musical group. 

 

Our meetings are the Second Saturday of each month in Family Life Center Room C213. We welcome you to become an active and vibrant part of this ministry.  If you are not sure come out anyway and check us out.  God may be leading you to work on His behalf in this way.  Looking forward to seeing you!

 

For more information about the ministry, please contact Rev. Dr. Malvina Stephens at (510) 893-4476. 

 

Church Library Committee Seeks Volunteers

(510) 597-0113.
Persons With Disabilities Ministry


Come join us at the Persons with Disabilities Ministry as we strive every month to make Allen Temple Baptist Church accessible to everyone!  We want to ensure that the sanctuary is accessible and accommodates people with disabilities, educate our faith-based community partners and friends about the disability community, and encourage the congregation to recognize people for their abilities rather than their disabilities.  We also want to ensure that qualified individuals with disabilities are afforded an equal opportunity to participate and benefit in worship services, events and programs, as well as develop awareness on how to interact and assist people with disabilities.   Your input on these subjects will be much welcomed.   We meet on the fourth Monday of each month from 6pm to 8pm in Family Life Center Room D-104.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

  • The Evangelism Ministry is in partnership with Soldiers Against Violence Everywhere (S.A.V.E. Outreach) of True Vine Ministries to bring a voice of concern to the City of Oakland about the sinful murders occurring here. We meet at their selected location every Saturday at 11:00am and leave at or about 12 Noon.

Embodied Spirits:  Stories of Spiritual Directors of Color
Featuring Allen Temple's Own Minister of Spiritual Life Rev. Ineda Adesanya
 Click here to visit the Cokesbury website to purchase!


  
Embodied Spirits:  Stories of Spiritual Directors of Color is an anthology that will be published by Christian Publishing, Inc. (aka Morehouse Publishing) in March 2014. Allen Temple's own Rev. Ineda Adesanya, Minister of Spiritual Life, is the author of Chapter Seven.
 

Embodied Spirits, a solid new addition to the Morehouse collection for spiritual directors, is the first book addressing the concerns and issues of people of color in spiritual direction and has a wide ecumenical appeal.

 

"These essays speak of how we have incorporated our contemplative practices into our family life; our urban, non-religious background; how we have been nurtured in struggles for health and life through our contemplative prayer practices and our courage to survive and even thrive in the midst of dire circumstances. We speak of the unfolding bridge between faith and culture; our conflicts with an Interspiritual journey with a Christian foundation; our sexuality; our journey to healing and authenticity; and how we are taking this practice that began in the first centuries of the church with the desert mothers and fathers to the present and into the future with spiritual direction through the Internet across the world." - from the Introduction
