“Lost Sight”

Have you ever lost sight of something precious?  If so, you probably can imagine the fear, anxiety, and even confusion when Joseph and Mary lost the Savior of the world.  This Sunday, we are going to take a look at this unique text that takes place during Jesus’ childhood, and we are going to wrestle with the question, “Do we lose sight of Jesus, too?”

Moving Ministry Forward in 2022

Timothy’s leadership thanks its members for attending the Annual Voters’ Meeting on Dec. 5th. Following that meeting, the Executive Board continues to develop plans to move ministries forward regarding expansion at Wyatt prior to securing funding for Phase 1.  Have you seen the master plan architectural drawings yet? If not, stop by the lobby at either campus to check it out! The Executive Board also continues to prayerfully monitor general operating contributions, keeping in mind how the congregation’s financial support moves ministries forward in the new year.

A letter to the congregation, communicating a plan for increased funding for ministries in 2022 as well as outlining a Phase 1 Program action plan for moving Wyatt expansion forward, will be mailed next week. A Special Voters’ Meeting is scheduled for Sun., Jan. 16, after the 10am service at Wyatt to allow the congregation an opportunity to discuss and ask questions about Phase 1 Program. Please plan to attend!

Friends Café

Timothy’s Women of Hope ministry invites ladies to the next Friends Café! Mark your calendars and plan to attend on Saturday, Jan. 29, from 9:30-11am in the Fellowship Hall at RD Mize. Bring family and friends along!

You will enjoy a time to relax, meet new friends, and enjoy complimentary baked treats & coffee! Plus you will hear how God protected and healed Linda Meyer Nielsen after a serious accident.

Valentine’s Date Night

Mark your calendars and sign up soon for a Valentine’s Date Night at Timothy on Sat., Feb. 5, at 6pm in the Family Life Center at RD Mize! The GATHER Commission is partnering with Timothy’s Youth to serve Italian cuisine (lasagna, Caesar salad, garlic toast, & dessert) for $30 per couple.  Proceeds will benefit the National Youth Gathering trip in July.  Tickets go on sale at both campuses on Sundays starting Jan. 9 through Jan. 30.  Childcare will be provided (please call the church office if childcare is needed).

Donor Match Program ends THIS FRIDAY, Dec. 31! If you haven’t yet acted upon this opportunity, you have a couple days to sign up for recurring online giving, resulting in a matching gift from Timothy’s church management system in the first quarter of 2022. Every gift started by Dec. 31 will be matched up to a maximum total of $1,000. More than one installment must be set up. You may set up your recurring gifts through Shelby Giving on the church website or through Timothy’s new ministry app. Thank you for considering this easy, generous, and secure opportunity.

Offering Envelopes are available on tables in the lobby of each campus to use during the time designated for offerings in worship. A sheet labels for the 2022 special services is also available and can be attached to the regular envelopes.
