Wandering in the Wilderness 


Most photographic walks occur at the side of a stream, through the mountains, through the forest, or amidst a field of flowers. But not this one Jesus takes us on. Nope, Jesus takes us through the wilderness. There we find Him hungry, worn, and attacked by one of our great enemies, Satan. Yet there's a purpose for it all. Jesus leads us back to where His people failed, to remind us that He won't. 

Walk with Jesus!

Do you yearn for a deeper connection with God?
This sentiment of "I can't live without you!" often reflects our deepest longings. But there's only One we truly cannot live without: our Lord, Jesus Christ.
 
This spring, we dined with Jesus through Lent and Easter. Now, we continue our journey with a brand new sermon series: Walk with Jesus! We'll delve into the Gospel of Luke, following Jesus' footsteps. We'll see Him teaching along the road, answering questions, and transforming moments into powerful lessons.
 
Just as the disciples walked with Jesus, we too can journey with Him. Through this series, we'll discover new truths, deepen our faith, and draw closer to God. If you desire more of Jesus, join us! Let's walk with Him each week and experience the transformative power of His presence.

LWML Missouri District Convention


Following the theme "He will make your paths straight" from Proverbs 3:5-6, several Timothy LWML members followed the pathway to Independence to attend the 28th Biennial LWML Missouri District Convention last weekend.  There was no disappointment, as the event involved a Banner Procession by attending Zones designed in the Convention's theme and a Worship Service with Holy Communion Friday evening followed by some karaoke (yes, a few Timothy LWML ladies participated against their better judgment).  The weekend generated an array of speakers; voting for Officers, Pastoral Counselors, and Mission Grants; a Silent Auction; multiple displays and vendors; a Mission Fair; a Mission Walk; Gifts from the Heart submissions; and LWML Jeopardy game hosted by our own Deanna Cross.  What an uplifting and enlightening few days to share God's love, meet old friends, and make new ones! 

  

RESOURCE HEALTH IS FUELING FAMILIES



Resource Health pregnancy resource center gives nearly 5,000 QT gas cards yearly to every person who walks through the door, to enable them to return for needed assistance and education.  Look for the big red gas cans on the table in the narthex on Sunday, June 16, 23, and 30, and help fill the cans with $10 QT gas cards, cash, or checks, payable to Resource Health.  100% of your gifts will go towards assisting the families of those served by RH.  Visit www.resourcehealthpartners.org to learn more about this faith-based organization (which Timothy supports with its tithes).  

Senior Pastor Congregational Survey


The Senior Pastor Congregational Survey is LIVE, and the Call Committee urges all members, ages 14 & up, to complete it before 11:59 pm on Sunday, June 30. Your voice matters! Responses are anonymous. The MO District gathers and tabulates the data which will be important in creating a new Senior Pastor position description as well as valuable information for prospective candidates to learn about Timothy.
 
Completing the survey electronically is preferred, but paper copies can be picked up at church and returned to the Senior Pastor Survey Collection Box for Call Committee members to input manually before June 30. Call Committee members will help worshipers complete the survey online on Sunday mornings by using tablets at the table in the lobby. Other methods include clicking on the QR code found on the worship bulletin insert each Sunday in June. The survey is also available on the church website (www.timothylutheran.com) under the About Us link (Church Manuals and Reports).
 
A Senior Pastor Nomination Form is now available for worshipers to complete if they have a Lutheran pastor in mind to nominate as Timothy’s next Senior Pastor. Feel free to pick up a copy in the Nomination Form tray at church and return to its Collection Box by June 30. All nominations will be sent to the District Office for President Hagan to consider as he compiles the list of candidates for Timothy’s consideration.
 
Please continue to keep this divine call process and the Call Committee in your prayers as we seek God’s Will in finding the shepherd He already has chosen to serve as Timothy’s next Senior Pastor. Thank you!

 

Children & Youth Ministry Needs Helping Hands


Children & Youth Ministry here at Timothy is rolling, and while things are a bit quiet this summer until VBS (July 15-19), we are prepping and preparing for the upcoming fall season. We need helping hands! Each Sunday, we need a few more hands to assist with the rotation stations during FaithRoots. Can you help one Sunday a month, whether by sharing the Bible story or just helping on the sidelines?  Responsible middle schoolers and older as well as adults are encouraged to volunteer and can even observe a week before committing. Please reach out to Pastor Ryan if you can help. Thank you!

Attention all 8th graders through seniors in high school.

Adam's Army Blood Drive


Thank you, Timothy, for once again showing up to support the Annual Adam’s Army Blood Drive! In its 19th year and first to be held on a Saturday, the Community Blood Center is very appreciative that Timothy’s goal of 40 usable donated pints fulfilled 100% of its goal! These 40 pints represent 120 lives saved! Thanks also to the Reed family for continuing to honor their son Adam’s memory through this important ministry by organizing all the details, including preparing and serving a delicious lunch, and to the volunteers manning the check-in table and snack table. A special thank you to Rod’s Sports for once again providing t-shirts for volunteers and donors.  To God Be the Glory!

Family Worship on 5th Sundays!  Hey Timothy families!  One children’s ministry goal is to have family worship on Sundays.  We know Faithroots provides opportunities for parents and kids to learn at their own levels but we also know worshipping together is vital for spiritual and family growth. So on 5th Sundays (4 times a year) we are NOT having Faithroots and begin working toward a unique and more family-friendly environment on those Sundays. June 30th will be our first Sunday.  You may not notice a lot of changes that Sunday but we are planning more things for September. Please reach out to Pastor Ryan with questions or ideas!

2024 Interest Survey  Thanks to all who have submitted an interest survey! We look forward to getting you connected soon. If you have not submitted yours yet, please click here or pick up a printed copy on the table below the lobby TV. Thank you! 

Thank you, Timothy  The following note was received this week from the MO District: 
“Members of Timothy Lutheran Church,
A huge thank you to you all for walking with the Missouri District in our statewide servant event. With approximately 10,800 participants, this was our largest SHINE! to date. That doesn’t happen without a lot of encouragement and support—and Timothy is one loud, joyful, and committed cheerleader (everything you’d want a cheerleader to be!) We’re thankful for your partnership—not just with SHINE!—but also in the way you show God’s love to those in the KC Metro and beyond. It’s awesome to be able to work in this Kingdom with you all. Shine on!
Leah Sieveking”
