Temecula United Methodist Church

Our church is a busy place. Sometimes it seems like we have classes, committee meetings, and special events happening all the time. It's difficult to keep track of what's going on. But you can always visit this page for an up-to-date listing of all the upcoming events, or for a view of the Month at a Glance, just visit the Calendar Page.

Prayer and Meditation Garden

anytime

A peaceful and serene setting awaits you in our new Meditation Garden. Enter and reflect on the beauty of God's gifts to us and feel His presence.

The garden is a continuous work in progress. Come see for yourself. As you enter the church parking lot, look to the rear and to the north. You will see that paths have been laid, olive trees planted, benches strategically placed, and a fence erected. Cape Honeysuckle have been planted at the fence and will soon begin their climb.

This garden has long been a dream of parishioner Todd Hailstone, and with the help of men from the church and many generous donations, his dream is being fulfilled.

Much work needs to be done, however. There are plans for groundcover and more plantings. This project will go forward as contributions are received. If you have "caught our vision" and wish to become a part of this wonderful project, please make your checks payable to TUMC and mark it "Meditation Garden"

Memorial Courtyard

We have a very special gift opportunity that will become a foundational part of our Memorial Courtyard.

You can dedicate a special brick to honor your friends and family or to remember those loved ones who have passed.

Your message will be engraved on a 4 x 8 brick with 2 or 3 lines of text (limit 16 characters per line).

Cost: $100.00 per brick and for an extra $50.00 you can receive a second brick to take home for your garden.

Ask Larry Murphy or the church office for an order form.
