| | | | | As Ruth sets to work in the fields to earn a dangerous and hard living she encounters a man who is beyond generous—a Man with wealth but with it he gives to her in abundance for the sake of blessing. As we come to another first fruits Sunday we reflect on the abundance of what God has given in the past and we look ahead trusting His faithfulness ahead. So how do we give as Boaz did to bless others trusting in God to provide? |

| | |  | Did you know that offering your First Fruits is a powerful act of worship? In the Bible, First Fruits offerings held immense significance. They were a tangible expression of gratitude to God for His abundant blessings. By presenting the very first and best of their harvest, the Israelites acknowledged God as the true source of His generosity. |
|
| This act symbolized their deep trust and commitment to honoring Him in all areas of their lives.
Join us in this meaningful tradition as we offer our First Fruits to God this Sunday, February 2, during worship. By dedicating the first portion of your blessings back to God, you demonstrate your faith in His provision for the year ahead. We invite you to prayerfully consider how you can participate in this special offering. Let us come together as a community of faith, expressing our gratitude and trusting in God's abundant grace. May God bless you as you seek to honor Him with your First Fruits. |

| | Mark Your Calendars: Special Voters’ Meeting on February 2nd
Timothy Lutheran invites all members to attend a Special Voters’ Meeting on Sunday, February 2, immediately following the second service. The purpose of this important meeting is to extend a divine call for Timothy’s next Senior Pastor. This is a significant step in the life of our congregation, and your participation is vital. A quorum of 40 voting members is required to proceed with the decision-making process, so we encourage everyone to make this a priority. Please prayerfully consider attending as we come together as a church family to seek God’s guidance in this important decision. We look forward to seeing you there! |
| | | This week, we are thrilled to celebrate Debbie Rose as we continue to recognize our “Rock Star” teachers. Miss Debbie currently teaches preschool, the two half-day classes. She started mid-September 2024 and hasn’t slowed down one bit. She has experience working for and running a pre-school, so coming to Timothy wasn’t a difficult choice. She is a constant source of encouragement and positivity, pouring her heart into her students each day.
I know I have used this verse to describe other staff, but it does fit Miss. Debbie. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." Colossians 3:23-24

|
|  |
Miss Debbie, thank you for your joyful heart, unwavering commitment, and the love you pour into your students. We are truly blessed to have you as part of our Timothy Lutheran Preschool family! |

Indulge your sweet tooth on Sunday morning, February 9, with delicious treats from the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) bake sale! Known as “Bites for Mites,” these goodies include a tempting assortment of breads, cookies, candies, and - if you’re early - maybe even a pie to take home.
With Super Bowl Sunday on the same day, it’s the perfect chance to grab some snacks to enjoy during the big game while cheering on your favorite team!
Proceeds from the sale support LWML’s “mite” offerings, inspired by the Biblical story of the widow’s mite (Luke 21:1-4). |
|
|  | These small contributions, above and beyond regular congregational support, combine to fund millions of dollars in mission grants at the district and national levels.
Stop by the lobby on Sunday morning, February 9, to grab your treats and make a difference! |
