TBY Care
We are so blessed to have such a beautiful worship space at Temple Bat Yahm! Let's remember to love our neighbors by practicing good stewardship Sunday mornings. Here are some ways we can care for this beautiful space:
- Pick up trash and items from the pews and chapel hall before we leave.
- Treat the property as if it were our own.
- Remain in our designated areas so we do not disturb TBY guests in other parts of the campus.
Also remember to use caution around areas at TBY that are under construction. Click HERE to read more about the construction project underway at TBY and how it impacts us.

Temple Construction
Temple Bat Yahm has commenced construction on a new campus security gate. The gate will enclose the quad on the front parking lot 
side of the temple campus. This construction will not impact those utilizing our back parking lot and entering through the rear gate to the chapel. If you park on the street or in handicapped parking and enter the chapel hall through the front lot, then a wheelchair accessible footpath into the quad area will be maintained at all times. Please use caution when entering or exiting construction zones. Likewise, Redeemer parents are advised to closely supervise children while they are playing outside before and after classes and worship due to potential hazards around the construction zone. Your safety is a priority!

Then join us for worship on Sunday, October 25th, for a dedication and time of prayer for the incarcerated men and women in Orange County who will be receiving these bibles.
Worst Refugee Crisis Since WWII
We've all seen the heartbreaking pictures of individuals, families, and entire communities uprooted and displaced. The world is facing the worst refugee crisis since WWII and many of us are asking what can we do. How can we help when this tragic reality seems distant and removed from our lives? Below are several links for every believer to take a moment, read, and understand more about this Refugee Crisis. Begin your journey to advocate on behalf of those far off and support the refugees currently in our midst in Orange County.
"Now, NOW, is the time for the Church to be the Church. We cannot, cannot, afford to miss this opportunity — and miss Him. In the past, the Church may have been defined by what the Church is against, but, in this defining moment in history, may the Church be clearly defined by what it is for. And the Church has always been for the stranger,the sojourner, and for being like the welcoming arms of the Savior." ~ Ann Voskamp
