Beautiful church. Friendly volunteers…read more While I didn't attend a church service here, I did experience a great choral and organ performance by the May Festival Chorus. It was great. I arrived a little late so there was no spots in their rather large parking lot, so I parked on a side street in the cozy neighborhood that surrounds the church. The volunteers handing out programs were nice and gave me directions as to locations of available seats. Oh, my only complaint, the pews aren't padded and my bony posterior wasn't that comfortable. Oh well. The sanctuary is full of beautiful stained glass comprised mostly of rich purple and blue colors. The wooded ceiling reminds me of old European churches. Brides to be should consider this church. The acoustics are great. If you like organ music, this church has a great set of pipes that are expertly played by Heather MacPhail, the Director of Music Ministries AND the Accompanist for May Festival Chorus. Busy lady. Anyways, while much of this church seems to have been remodeled, there are plenty of charming remnants and vestiges of the past that help keep the place grounded and welcoming. I may never get a chance to attend an actual service here, but I had a great experience nonetheless.

First of all, as we were walking up the front of the outside of the church we were greeted by Friar Brother Tim. What an amazing personality! He is great with names and was able to say hello to parishioners he already knew. Asked about us, told us a little about the church, welcomed us to the church and extended an invitation to the coffee and donuts served after mass. The church itself was very pretty, but if you read some of the history and see photos of it in earlier years, you can see that it was magnificent! They couldn't keep up with maintaining some of the intricate painting on the walls and just were painted over. There is still much to see. Their music ministry amazed us. The pianist is from CCM and as a matter of fact was to be conducting the opera tonight! You can tell he loves what he does and in fact they all do. There was a friar playing guitar as well as a few others, someone playing the trumpet and I'm told that there is normally someone who plays the clarinet, too. Even though they are a smaller group of singers, they sing with enthusiasm. The priest talked in a very down to earth way that seemed to resonate with everyone, including me. I listened intently to every word. Giving the sign of peace was also unique in that everyone got up and gave the sign of peace to pretty much everyone else in the church - loved that! Then those who walked up to the same level where they were preparing the eucharist. We stood/sat in open rooms to the side. That's something we had never done before. Also, there was the most resplendent autumn garnitures at that level. Not surprisingly, Friar Tim announced by name those who were returning from school or different homes in other cities/states to be in attendance. Introduced us by name and thanked those on parish council. What a lovely personal touch! Once mass was over, Brother Tim found us and walked us to where the coffee and donuts were being served where we passed windows looking into a beautiful courtyard garden. While getting refreshments, Father David came over and talked with me which was nice. Afterwards, Brother Tim brought us outside to see the courtyard which he helped get back into shape. There were hydrangeas, brick paths, a koi pond and a firepit which people were sitting around while visiting each other. We sat with them for awhile and felt very comfortable with them all before we were given a short tour before being led to another courtyard where there will be a live nativity in December. Brother Tim showed us a poster of the amazing Advent Wreath that actually hangs over your head! Also, the church is lent space by Christian Moerlein where there will be lots to see near Christmas. It's so extensive that they will start setting up in November! We know for sure we will be going back in the month of December and are truly looking forward to it. They have ministries such as a soup kitchen, too. Please take the time to visit this wonderful church and you might find yourself a regular.

I love attending service here! The give fold ministry never disappoints!…read more The environment is warm and welcoming. The music ministry prepares your heart to receive the word of God with an open and pure heart. The message is not just given but taught in a lesson styled format for the new Christian to understand or even a non believer to comprehend. I thoroughly enjoy the people and the overall atmosphere New Life Temple provides to all it's members and visitors. I hope to see you here!

To be honest with you, last time I've been to a church, was in my childhood. My girlfriend asked me to goto to Sunday morning worship, I said yes. So worship started at 11:00am. Too my surprise it was a bilingual Spanish/English spoken worship. I was so impressed. The even had a full screen subtitle for the morning worship songs. Pastor Mynor Canel and his wife Isis lead the worship. Easter was a longer worship due to the children's play and other venues. After the morning worship, they had lunch for us. That was the icing on the cake :-) it was sensational. I will be coming back for more worship.

This specific branch of Lifespring meets in the Westwood YMCA on Sunday's and is a great example of how a church needs to be effective where it is. Run by a very capable staff, the Westwood satellite transforms the YMCA gym into a place of worship each Sunday morning, supplying the 100 or so members there with a great worship service. Parking is ample and children's services are offered, so don't be afraid to bring the whole family.
