On Mission with Jesus
The Book of Acts details the early church's dynamic growth, showcasing ordinary people doing extraordinary things through the Holy Spirit. Over 13 weeks, we'll see the birth of a movement that reshaped the world.
Acts offers more than history; it reflects the Spirit's ongoing work within the church. We'll examine how early  believers faced challenges, built community, and boldly shared the gospel—experiences relevant to us today.
With a dedicated reading plan, we’ll explore the stories of Peter, Paul, and others, learning how the Holy Spirit empowered them and how He can empower us. We’ll find practical ways to apply these lessons to our lives and become effective witnesses for Christ.
Follow along with our sermon series and weekly Prepare for Worship emails for reading assignments. Let’s be inspired by the early church's courage and faith and ignite a fresh wave of God’s Kingdom.
This week’s reading: Chapters 9-10.

Together
Mission impossible? Not for us! While the task of reaching the world with the Gospel might seem overwhelming, remember, we're not in this alone. The enemy loves to isolate us, making us feel small and insignificant. But the truth is, we are a powerful, united body with Christ as our head. Let's come together to encourage, challenge, and equip one another for the mission. Together, we can overcome any obstacle, reach new heights, and make a lasting impact. Are you ready to experience the incredible power of unity in Christ? Join us and let's embark on this journey together.

Celebrating Generosity at Timothy
God has done (and continues to do) marvelous things at Timothy! He guides His people through important ministries as we celebrate worshiping and serving under one roof, perhaps none greater than walking alongside Timothy’s senior pastor call process. OASIS, the  Wednesday evening children and family ministry program, offers children, teens, and parents the opportunity to grow in their faith. Timothy Lutheran School continues to provide a strong Christian presence for children and their families. “The Center,” a new young adult ministry at Timothy, is in its formative stages. LWML, Women of Hope, and JourneyMen continue to reach many longing to embrace and deepen their relationship with Jesus and other Christians. An additional Sunday morning Adult Bible Class starts on October 6 as another opportunity to dig into God’s Word. Timothy’s Discovery Class is once again active in bringing in new members. While the transition to one campus has affected us all, God sends the Holy Spirit to remind us that our generosity towards others will refresh us!
This fall, Timothy’s GIVE Commission will promote a generosity emphasis to educate the congregation about the financial resources needed to transform lives through Christ through its thriving ministries. While time and talents are equally important, our treasures (finances) are also necessary to support bringing us and the unchurched closer to Christ. More to follow soon. Please prayerfully consider how your generosity can impact Timothy’s mission of transforming lives through Christ in 2025 and beyond.

Timmy Burger Thank You
A BIG thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make the Steakburger booth a success this year. We weathered excessive heat, shelter-in-place storms, and cool rainy weather. Over 200 volunteers made this event go smoothly: members, past members, future members, family, and friends. We had several new volunteers and lots of seasoned veterans - they ranged from 4 years old to a little bit older than that. Everyone worked together to feed and witness to our community. A special thank you to everyone who worked multiple shifts and all of the heavy lifters at set up and tear down. We were able to sell some of the leftover cheese and meat as well as donate the rest to shelters in the area. It truly takes a team effort to make this such a success each year.
