As We Gather For Worship This Weekend

Ordination Service This Sunday

Don’t forget to join your Timothy family in witnessing and celebrating Jake Bellinghausen’s ordination this Sunday at 6pm in the sanctuary. We look forward to a powerful service of inspiring music by Timothy’s music ministry, Pastor Lieb’s heartfelt message, Pastor John’s ordination ceremony, and blessings offered by visiting pastors. A reception will follow in the Fellowship Hall for Timothy to congratulate Jake and his family.

Paycheck Protection Program Update

We praise God for wonderful news from Commerce Bank about Timothy’s status with loan forgiveness from the Small Business Administration (SBA) for our PPP loan! On Tuesday, June 22, we learned that this loan is totally and fully forgiven!

As reported in April 2020, Timothy applied for the PPP loan in the amount of $272,400 to assist with payroll checks for eight weeks to furloughed employees, mortgage interest, and utility costs at the outset of the pandemic.  Through the hard work of Treasurer Gary Flandermeyer, Financial Services Chris Krenz, and Trevor Westcott at Commerce Bank, Timothy’s loan was properly completed by the deadline, approved by Commerce Bank, and then sent to SBA for approval.

This financial assistance was greatly appreciated as the church began transitioning and adjusting to the effects of the pandemic. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

Adopt-a-Light

Thank you, Timothy, for early donations to improve lighting in RD Mize rooms! The new LED kits will be installed soon in the areas most occupied with VBS activities next month. Donations of $75 per kit are greatly appreciated! Facilities Manager Don McGhee researched costs to purchase & install the “old system” ballasts & lamps and costs to purchase & install “new system” LED lights, learning that the figures are almost a “wash” which doesn’t include energy efficiency & cost savings in the future.

Worshippers will receive a special envelope for this fundraiser with the bulletin this Sunday, and donations can also be accepted on Timothy’s website (www.timothylutheran.com). Go to Timothy’s home page and click on the Adopt-a-Light image.  Thank you very much!

Next Generation Updates

You can access the Request for Proposal on Timothy’s website on the Next Generation page. Leadership will keep you updated as the process moves along. Please keep the Next Generation process in your prayers as we seek God’s will to extend Timothy’s ministries.
