Barb Berger

Dearest Temple,
When I walked into First Unity ten years ago, I was blank. Seriously blank. Numb is may be a better word. There was a fire burning deep inside me though, and you helped that fire come alive. I cried every service, from your words which were igniting that passion inside me. Before you knew me, you walked by and saw me struggling to hold back an avalanche of emotions, and you said, “hang in there girl.” I will never forget that, because I knew you “got me.” I don’t know if you realize how deeply your Sunday messages touch people, especially when you go REAL. I appreciate you so much and will be forever grateful to call you my friend and minister. Congratulations for 30 years of allowing Spirit to guide you, so you can guide all of us! 💜Barb

Debra Nardi

To our Amazing “Light Bearer” and “Pillar of Strength “! Reverend Dr. Temple Hayes, you keep us Going and Going and Going. Thank you for showing us the way to become “Difference Makers”! You hold the “Torch”! Happy 30th First Unity Anniversary!
Love, Debra Nardi

My first Sunday at First Unity, you came prancing down the aisle singing the hokey pokey.

Your vibrant spirit has blessed so many lost souls, and I’m grateful mine was one of them.

When you heard I was joining Peace Corps, you told me to “be the core of peace.” Those words rang in my ears for years. I’m still working on it, getting closer.

Your words, your vision, your delivery inspire me.

Last Sunday, I returned to First Unity after many years traveling the globe. I was delighted to be back. I felt right at home.

Thank you for showing up and doing the work to minister to us year after year, to foster community, to nurture a garden of peaceful minds with your clarity, wit, authenticity and devotion.

Blessed be, Rev Temple.

Gillian and Gerhard Endress

We love you Temple - you are an amazing leader and we so appreciate all your caring and support for us on our amazing journey - we always look forward to coming on sundays - God bless always

Dearest Rev. Dr. Temple,

Serendipitously, your messages have truly been exactly what I needed to hear at the moment I heard them. You have guided me in my role as minister by sharing your wisdom, knowledge, and expertise as well as your example as a teacher and leader. I am so grateful I found First Unity Spiritual Campus and that you have been my Spiritual Leader and Mentor. Congratulations on 30 years of ministry and affirming you will have at least 30 more!!

“I am not giving you answers. I want to help you find your answer.” – Rev. Dr. Temple Hayes.

Sunday, March 10, 2019, was the first day I attended First Unity Spiritual Campus, and I thoroughly enjoyed the service. It was light and fun in a way I had never experienced.
I grew up in church and had attended church all my life. I was happy in church, and I was happy on this Sunday as well. However, the “aha moment” was the realization that what felt different about this environment was that I was not only happy, but I also felt free! Over the next few weeks, it became clear that First Unity Spiritual Campus was the spiritual hospital where I would undergo the necessary mind, body and heart surgery to prepare for my next chapter, and Rev. Temple was the surgeon. Each Sunday provided another layer of clarity and empowerment that transformed me from someone who questioned her footing and place in this world, to a powerful difference maker.

Rev. Temple, thank you for seeing me. Thank you for pouring into me, including me, and for creating opportunities for me. Thank you for your leadership, and for how you model “Unity”. Each time I am in your presence, I learn, and I grow. I am eternally grateful. Happy Anniversary!

CHRISTIE HARDWICK

Your light is a gift to my life. Your light is a gift to all who encounter you. Your light is evidence of the God in all of us. Thank you for sharing with such generosity, passion and love.

Deborah Mann

Congratulations on your 30 year anniversary in ministry! I am so proud to be a part of First Unity Spiritual Campus! Thank you for being a strong positive influence, in my life, and the lives of so many others!!❤️

Dr. Temple
I want to first thank you for having me to worship in your services. Congratulation on 30 years of serving. You deserve so much for all you do, all you've done and ALL your going to continue to do. We love and appreciate you Dr. Temple. Peace & Blessings💖💯🌈🧚

Jacinta Elder

Rev. Dr. Temple Hayes is as innovative as the community she leads. She is a definitely the spiritual leader needed in the New Thought movement in turbulent times such as these when almost every man-made construct in the world seems to screaming loud and clear "not unity". She is that voice to stand firmly and state the opposite and the spiritual leader that will keep the movement on the path of new thinking while disrupting the old way of thinking. First Unity is appropriately positioned, with Sr. temple at the helm, to lead that conversation into the future.

Judy Staunko

One blessed with the bluest eyes and marvelous hair! A soul who carries the graciousness of the South and deep wisdom. Happy Anniversary Temple, Celebrating your many gifts.

Rev. Dr. Beverly Boyarsky

The universe truly brought me to Florida for a specific reason. I am blessed to have found my home at First Unity and a true special friend in you. Our calling to serve is our common bond and I pray that your path continues for another 30 years. Mazel tov and Happy Anniversary!

To me personally, you have facilitated so many wonderful changes in my life and I believe your messages have changed my thinking in such a short time.

Paula Tyer

Temple,
YOU are a great Apostle and we are all blessed to have stood in your light.

While a disciple is a student, one who learns from a teacher. An Apostle is sent to deliver those teachings to others.

Apostle YOU ARE ... a person who teaches the truth that gives people power .. the acceptance and knowledge that GOD loves them ... and the strength to see who they really are and take control of their life in a postive way.

You have touched the many lives of your flock and brought words that pierced their hearts so that truth could flow in and they could act on the outpouring of their convictions. Convictions that allowed them to make positive life changes, abandoning the dark places, and moving into a healthy and happy place.

You are a person whose smile actually means "I LOVE YOU", a person whose eyes say "I'M PRAYING FOR YOU" and a person whose lessons from the pulpit make you grab life's reins and say "I can take on the world, Bring it On!"

We love, love, love you and we appreciate you and are proud to call you 'our own'.

Matthew Dalonzo

Happy Anniversary!!! 30 years of influence, change and many mind engagements led to a spiritual path for all to witness. Amazing work.
