Carry On
 

Here we begin to see that Jesus is abundantly clear about where this walk leads to: the cross, the resurrection, and, in time, the ascension. The time is coming when Jesus will no longer be here in the flesh, and yet those who follow will be called to  "carry on." But in that calling we have to realize it won't be a nice stroll in the park. How in the world should we do that? Come and find out. 

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 now delve into the Gospel of Luke, following Jesus' footsteps. We 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.

VBS Adopt a Student

 

We need you! Yes, you make VBS an amazing opportunity for our kiddos to learn and grow in their faith. There are many ways to support VBS week, July 15th - 19th, but perhaps one of the easiest is to grab an “Adopt a Student” Envelope off our VBS donation wall (look for the hanging scuba diver in the atrium), put whatever amount of $ in there you can, and place it in the offering plate. Every dollar helps as it supports our students' supplies, snacks, t-shirts, and more.

Reminder: Another way is to click on the church website under GIVE, select fund, and scroll to VBS Adopt-a-Student. Thank you!

          

RESOURCE HEALTH IS FUELING FAMILIES



Resource Health pregnancy resource center (formerly Rachel House) 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 one more Sunday, June 30th , 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 this 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!

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 will begin working toward a unique and more family-friendly environment on those Sundays. THIS SUNDAY will be our first Sunday.  You may not notice a lot of changes this Sunday, but we are planning more things for September. Please reach out to Pastor Ryan with questions or ideas!

Church and School Office will be closed on Thursday, July 4, but will be open on Friday, July 5.

Thank you to everybody who helped me when I fell in the auditorium and broke my hip. I don't want to mention names for fear of leaving someone out.
