GOOD NEWS! We have NO membership fees!

TEMCA has decided to stop charging any fees for membership. We are growing each week, and extend a warm welcome to you to become a service chaplain. Our motto is not money, but service in God, to our communities.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Remember an old friend, neighbor or maybe a returning soldier that you can send a christman card to, just tell someone Merry Christmas. To spread good tidings during the holiday is not an expensive effort, just taking time to let someone know they are cared about and especially not forgotten. The true reason for this coming holiday is the wonderful birth of our savior.
