 | April 2000, Duluth, MN: |
I really enjoy looking at your web site and watching the flame!
The Hamilton clan from Duluth hopes to be down in Evansville later this year. Why? A family reunion with brother Bill (Minden, NV, and sister Ann (Hamilton) and Jerry Moore.
Hi to everyone at Methodist Temple and a Happy Easter to all from the Duluth Hamilton's and Lester Park UMC.
| April 2000, Indianapolis, IN: |
Very nice web site for an East side church!
Perhaps I'll get to visit some day, or sing in the choir. Give everyone my best! --Todd Outcalt

Congratulations, Methodist Temple, on a fine web page. I grew up attending the Methodist Temple, and am delighted to see that I can still keep in touch with what's happening.
| April 2000, California, MD: |
I see your college care package idea in the March issue. My daughter goes to college at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. They have a Christian ministry group near the school that provides a $12 care package for semester-end study time (or whatever donation parents want to give). They get volunteers and donations to pack the bags. They send a form letter to all the parents living on campus stating the purpose and that it is not the commercial packages.
I think it is a good idea for a money earning project or a service project. The parents can put a note in the bag also. You could start with the students of your congregation. Now that she moved off campus, we don't get this letter or offer any more. It would be nice to offer bags to these students also.
My son goes to a college close to home and they don't offer the same thing, but instead housing offers a more commercialized package at a much higher price.
Having a college close to a church is ideal for these type of projects. I was much more comfortable donating money to the Christian ministry than a housing office.
Just some more ideas for you.
(note-I am from Evansville and attended/attend this church when in town. I check this web site frequently. You have a great site and improving every time I check in. Also attended U of E living at home way back in the 70's. A care package sounds like a great idea-would make one feel more a part of campus life and help those that attend your church now.)
| March 2000, Evansville, IN: |
Neat web site. Sounds like a very exciting place with good things going on. Will it help us to get to heaven?
| March 2000, Bloomington, IN: |
It was fun to see the Temple Airs picture on the website. I am awfully proud of this group and what they've done for the Evansville area, especially since my grandfather (Dr. Ray Arensman) played such an integral role starting up the band. In fact, it was his suggestion that I browse through your website; I didn't realize their schedule was posted on the web.
| February 2000, Moody, AL: |
Really nice web page! You've made great strides.
| February 2000, E-mail Message: This is a wonderful site. I can't believe technology allows us to hear the sermons even while at college. The youth program looks like it is really rockin'!! Keep up the good work. |
| January 2000, Zionsville, IN: Really enjoyed looking around. Particularly enjoyed the photos - they really bring life to your web-page. Please know that persons, many I suspect, appreciate and utilize this excellent resource of your church. I am a senior pastor at Zionsville UMC near Indianapolis. Visit our site at ZUMC.org . Keep up the great work! |

The entire Methodist Temple Web-Site is very well done. I have utilized the large photo of the Remembrance Garden as background wallpaper. It makes a very attractive full-size background. Hope this is o.k. with you. Good Job.
| November 1999, Evansville, IN: |
I like the youth program and the way it works, keep it up!
| September 1999, Florida: |
Your website is the most complete and interesting one I've seen by a church. Makes me long for the days again when we were part of the Temple. I was quite interested in the clicks on Leadership and those on the Pastors. I spent some time scanning their sermons, and then in seeing the names of so many of my good friends who are still active in the Leadership group. Thanks for your help with the pictures.
| September 1999, Pine Bluff, Arkansas: |
Just wanted you to know you have a wonderful web site. We're always looking for ideas to help motivate the members of our campus organization. The "Barnabas" program sounds like a lot of fun. We may try it.
God bless and continue to do the work of the Lord. Please put our ministry in your prayers.
| September 1999, Evansville, IN: |
I just found the pictures of the garden this morning. They are wonderful and look so inviting. Thank you for making our web page so attractive and up to date.
| April 1999, Lincoln, KS: |
Hi, Jenny, just thought you'd like to know that I checked out the website. It really is complete.
| March 1999, Louisiana: |
You have one of the best designed pages, I have yet seen! I am a United Methodist minister, looking for ideas as I develop my own church page. I hope you don't mind my "borrowing" some of your design as well as some of the images you are using. It is just an awesome web page done in real good taste. Keep up the good work!
| March 1999, California: |
I have a question I hope you can help me answer. Was there a Methodist Home For Unwed Mothers in Evansville in 1964? I am adopted and searching for my birth parents. My adoptive parents said that they went through the church but have no records as our home burned when I was young and everything was destroyed. Any help you could provide would be great. Please drop me a line. I really don't expect you to give me all the answers (though that would make this easier) would you please answer the question about the home. Thank you for your Help. God Bless.

I really enjoy your web site. Very well done and easy to read. I grew up in Evansville and attended MT until I moved away. My Mother is still a member. I enjoy reading about the activities you are doing. Helps me keep up with old friends and acquaintances in Evansville. By the way, I used to help out with a Girl Scout troop that met at the church and the leaders went to the church. (Still there?) Just curious.
| February 1999, Evansville, IN: |
I visited the Methodist Temple website and it is very impressive.
| February 1999, Bloomington, IN: |
Every time I check out Temple's web page it looks better and better. I love having the Temple Topics on there. It helps me keep up with some old friends in a real easy way. Just wanted to thank you for your efforts in getting it going. It is a great way for those who were once at the church to keep up with things.
| February 1999, Evansville, IN: |
The arrangement is so very logical, and the material is so interesting and provides a good picture to newcomers and old-timers alike. Thanks for a great job.
| January 1999, Evansville, IN: |
Hi Jenny: A beautiful, educational page. Thanks for taking the time and having the knowledge to do this for our church!
| January 1999, Evansville, IN: |
THANKS for the work you are doing on our web site! I discovered it a couple of weeks ago after going on line at the end of December and had been thinking earlier about the fact that we did not have one. It is great that you are doing this!
| January 1999, Alabama: |
I was glad to see a Methodist Church doing a Bread Ministries program. I am just starting one at our church, and am interested if you have any information I might read regarding this type ministry. I also would like to know if you bake the bread yourselves or if you purchase it?
| December 1998, Evansville, IN: |
I've been browsing our MT web page and I am so impressed with what you have added. I found all the pictures of our windows and pictures of Tony and Pat. What an impressive piece of work on your part. Thanks so much
| December 1998, Evansville, IN: |
Directory with email addresses is a neat feature! You're doing a great job with the MT home page!
| November 1998, Indianapolis, IN: |
Congratulations on a truly great church web site. One of the best I have seen, and I have seen hundreds.
You have done it all just right. No clutter, no mess, no under construction signs, just good clean copy, clearly indexed so all that valuable information can be easily accessed by those who want to see it.
Your web site projects an image of a beautiful church, a very capable and talented staff and an active congregation. I would hope you have plans to add a few pictures to bear that out.
All best wishes. You certainly have a winner.
| November 1998, Memphis, TN: |
It was great visiting your site. I am the webmaster for my church. Please feel free to visit us at http://www.gbgm-umc.org/ellendaleumc/.
