Tempero-Sandall Fellowship

 

 
The Tempero-Sandall Endowed Fellowship
 
 
The Tempero-Sandall Fellowship was established by Dr. Steve Tempero and his wife, Joan (Sandall) Tempero, in honor of their parents, Lloyd and Nellie Sandall and Howard and Lucile Tempero. 
 
The purpose of the fellowship is to provide the congregation of First United Methodist Church, as well as other congregations and residents of Topeka and surrounding communities, “opportunities to enrich their religious experiences through lectures, workshops, seminars and performances.”
 
The program is guided by a volunteer Board of Trustees.
