Temple Tuesday VideosTemple Tuesday is a series of short videos that explore what it means to live as people of the Temple wherever we are in the world. Host Joey Williams uses images and locations in and around the Temple in Independence, Missouri that offer brief glimpses into how the ministries of the Temple can take shape in our own lives. Each video is 2-5 minutes and ends with a question or challenge connected with pursuing peace on and for the Earth. Latter-day Seeker Ministries began Temple Tuesday as a way to teach and illustrate the meaning of the Temple for those experiencing Community of Christ from an LDS background. It quickly found a wider audience as Community of Christ members and friends engaged with the videos weekly. Temple Tuesday videos also are a great resource for congregations and small groups. They can be part of a sermon, serve as a reflection moment or spiritual practice, generate discussion in small groups, and supplement weekly family devotions.
