Baptist Temple
Begins 2011 at
a Full Run
Jorge Zayasbazan
If January is any indication, 2011 is
going to be a very exciting year. Several
new ministries have begun that will
build upon and strengthen existing pro-
grams. First is the After School Club
(ASC). Most of the nearly 40 children
enrolled come from our charter school,
Highland Park Gifted and Talented
Academy (HPGTA), but a few have
been attracted by the programming
which includes story and crafts on Mon-
day, karate on Tuesdays, geography and
Spanish clubs on Wednesday, Bible
club on Thursday, and movies on Fri-
day.
Essential to the ministry are three
paid children's ministry associates and
church volunteers who provide pro-
gramming that is fun and enriching in a
safe and loving environment. Paula
Quintanilla leads the story and craft
time and the geography and Bible clubs.
Lin Leeth leads the Spanish club. I lead
the karate kids. Church staff maintains
daily oversight of the ministry. Modest
fees make this high-quality ministry
self-sustaining.
Another new ministry that began in
January is English as a Second Lan- During our first “Centennial Sunday” of 2011 a plaque acknowledging and

Food Pantry
Update
Wesley Craig
We had a great turn out of volun-
teers at the food pantry on January
6th. Even though the mobile pantry
was about 15 minutes late, we still
finished around 6:30. Thank you all
for all your hard work!
It was great to have Mike Ortiz
and some from his martial arts group
with us again. It was also wonderful
to have several from Highland Park
Gifted & Talented Academy. Joining
us for the first time were several stu-
dents from the school, along with the
principal, Miss Rico, and three teach-
ers Ms. Arnsworth, Mrs. Sanchez and
Mr. Ramos.
Together we distributed food to:

Baptist Temple is pleased to offer the following Martial Arts Programs
Karate Kids - Age 4-6 - Tuesdays from 4:00-4:30 PM
Karate Kids focuses on improving preschool age children's basic motor and listening skills. These skills
will help them enter society with a more confident and enthusiastic outlook. They will become better
students at school, better listeners at home and more ambitious towards the future. We believe that the
time between the ages of 4 and 6 are the most important years of a child's development. Our program
will enhance positive development in a fun and motivating way. Karate Kids will also prepare your
child for our Paladin Martial Arts Program. Costs are $15 for the uniform and $12 per month.
Paladin Martial Arts – Age 7 – Adult
Tuesdays & Thursdays from 5-6 PM
Paladin Martial Arts is a Christ-centered program that teaches effective methods, dis-
carding techniques that do not work in real-life settings. We teach practical self-defense,
“bully-proofing”, as well as self-control and non-violent conflict resolution. While the
ability to defend yourself is important, there are many additional benefits to a martial arts
program including goal-setting, humility, tenacity, responsibility, respect and honor.
These character-building traits can lead to success in all areas of life. Costs are $30 for
the uniform and $10 per month.
Adult Self Defense –
Sundays in January from 3-5 PM
Adult self defense will focus on protecting your self and striking at sensitive parts of an
attackers body. You will learn how to defend yourself unarmed and with improvised
weapons. There is no uniform, gym clothes will do. Classes begin January 2nd.
This class is FREE.
All classes are held in the Baptist Temple Gym (Building 4, 3rd floor) enter through the East door.
Call 210-533-7114 to register for a class.
