As We Gather for Worship This Weekend
” Lavished Love”
Today’s readings turn our attention to the future. John reminds us that one day, not only will we be face-to-face with Jesus, but we will be like him, transformed fully into the people God always meant for us to be. And the reason why is because we are children of God, something we became because God lavished His incredible, unending, indescribable love upon us!

Devotion: “A Roadmap for When You Don’t Know
What to Do”
Be still in the presence of the Lord and wait patiently for him to act.
Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. Psalm 37:7
This was a tough week. God has placed our family on a roller coaster with my seventeen-year-old grandson’s health: lymphoma, kidney infection, not seen in a child this age, tentacles, mass. I feel confused, burdened and simply paralyzed as we wait for the tests. But I am certain there is Hope in the Lord.
Whether you find your heart burdened today by what’s happening around the world, what’s happening inside your home, or even in the confines of your own heart, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed… paralyzed… confused… and unsure of how to move forward. Thankfully God understands. He knows this world is full of trouble and heartache, and He provides everything we need to navigate our uncertainty.
Psalm 37:1-9 provides direction when we just don’t know what to do. They guide us to: not worry, trust, take delight, commit, stop! See how God graciously guides us through the steps of surrendering our worries and placing our trust back where it belongs — in Him alone.

Sunday Morning Pancakes
 New Timothy members Brad and Kathy Elledge arrived before 9am last Sunday at Wyatt and set up two griddles in the music room to make well over 100 pancakes. This was a special treat in addition to the regular donuts and coffee members enjoyed before service. An additional round table was set up to accommodate all the parents and kids enjoying the warm pancakes, butter, syrup, and chocolate chips.
More than just a special treat, Brad and Kathy’s act of service was a reminder of the love and community that we share as a church family. It was a tangible expression of the Gospel message, which calls us to love and serve one another. We are so grateful to Brad and Kathy for their generosity and kindness. Their pancake breakfast was a wonderful way to start our Sunday morning, and it set the tone for a day filled with praise and worship.

OASIS Family Ministry

As this new OASIS program keeps rolling, we need some help! We are looking for groups or individuals willing and able to serve a meal and clean up. The meal is catered, so the clean-up is minimal. Volunteers need to show up about 5:45pm to get ready, and the meal is served from 6-6:30pm. Then you should be out of there by 7pm. OASIS is the second Wednesday in November (RD Mize), January, April, and May (last 3 in Wyatt Auditorium). If you’d be willing to help one or more nights, contact Pastor Ryan (816.228.5300 Ext. 8046) or Clancy (816.228.5300 Ext. 8047).
