| | | | | | Have you ever followed some advice from a well-meaning person that led you astray? Or maybe you've simply made a bad decision on your own. It's a humble part of life—we all make mistakes. The Bible often compares us to sheep, and let's be honest, sheep aren't exactly known for their great decision-making skills. But even when we wander down the wrong path, the Shepherd is still at work. How will he treat the sheep—like you and me—who get lost? |

| | | We all know Psalm 23. It’s a passage that’s been committed to memory by countless people, a passage that brings comfort in times of sorrow, and a refrain often heard at funerals. But is this beloved Psalm just for the dying or those in grief? Or is it for us today, in every circumstance of our lives? September 7th - October 12th, we will explore Psalm 23 and discover how it speaks to us and our lives with Christ. This Psalm isn't just about comfort in our final moments; it’s about finding comfort and guidance in our daily lives. Join us as we take a deep dive into this beloved Psalm and develop a greater understanding of what it truly means to walk with Jesus, our Good Shepherd. |

| | | Charlie Johnson's meeting minutes ministry began long before transferring from Messiah to Timothy. He once served as congregation and board secretary for Peace Lutheran Church during the typewriter era (erasers/white correction fluid). After 23 years in banking, plus two IT careers designing and coding insurance and civil/criminal documents, Charlie retired in 2018—but not from serving. Since 1998, he has been typing away behind the scenes at Timothy, turning spoken words into meeting minutes—piecing together fragmented thoughts like a jigsaw puzzle missing half the edge pieces. His punctuation credo, “He never met an Oxford comma he didn’t like.”
He started on Timothy’s Parish Planning Council in May 1998 and co-designed a Timothy newsletter with Kathy Parish. Since then, it has grown into a steady meeting minutes ministry: Executive Board, Voters’ Assembly, Gather Commission, Next Generation Committee, Strategic Planning Committee, Senior Pastor Call Committee, Ministry Planning Council, and Timothy's Constitution and bylaws—you name it, Charlie has probably documented it. He is also one of the leaders of the Tuesday Morning Men’s Bible Study, a weekly fellowship of Scripture and strong coffee. |
|
|
| |
|
Charlie is married to Lucy Johnson, the love of his life. They have two daughters, Emily and Sarah, and a long-haired dachshund named Rocky, who believes every meeting should include snacks, belly rubs, tail wags, and zero budget talks.

This year’s school theme is “Let’s Make a Joyful Noise” (Psalm 98:4), and we’re ready to do just that—celebrating God’s goodness with praise, purpose, and a lot of fun!
Our goal for this fundraiser is to purchase new lunch tables for our school, creating a better and more comfortable space for our students.

You can support your student(s) and Timothy Lutheran School by donating or sharing this fundraiser with family and friends. Every gift and every share helps us reach our goal and makes a joyful difference! Let’s come together, make some noise, and show what Timothy can do! |
