Have you ever wondered what drives the LWML mission? What is the fuel behind every quilt tied, every missionary supported, and every act of compassion shown? It all goes back to a final, powerful command from our risen Lord. On the day of His Ascension, Jesus gave His followers their assignment. We read it in Luke, chapter 24: "Go... proclaim repentance and forgiveness of sins in His name to all nations." This command is the very heartbeat of the church, and it is the central theme for this Lutheran Women in Mission Sunday. The work they celebrate isn't just about charity; it's about proclamation. It is the life-changing message of forgiveness in Jesus' name that motivates us to serve and to GO. All glory be to Jesus! |

This October, we have the special opportunity to celebrate and give thanks to the Called Staff who faithfully serve Timothy. Their commitment to ministry, teaching, and leadership blesses our congregation in countless ways.
We encourage everyone to keep our Called Staff in your prayers throughout the month and to share words of encouragement and gratitude.A heartfelt note, kind message, or simple “thank you” can make a meaningful impact.
Let’s come together as a church family to honor their service and dedication. May our appreciation reflect the love of Christ and remind them how deeply valued they are. |

The GROW Commission is hard at work to revive small group Bible Studies at Timothy. Small groups will provide a way for each one of us to connect with others in our congregation to read and study God’s Word and GROW in our faith. To do that we begin the process of forming small groups of 8-10 to meet weekly in someone’s home or at church. Groups will begin meeting early next year. During late October and early November, Commission members will be available at a table in the lobby to share more information, answer questions, and gather names of people willing to host, lead, or join a small group. Each of these roles looks a little different. Don’t worry or feel uncertain if you’ve never been part of a small group. It’s fun, easy, and uplifting. As members of God’s family, we’re all on this faith journey together! We can encourage and support each other along the way. Wherever you are in your walk or whatever your skills may be, everyone has something to contribute, and each part is important. Stop by the GROW table after services on Sunday morning or contact Mary Reed for more information. |

Jeremy joined Timothy in 2011 after marrying long-time member, Guin Merrell. Together, they raised 3 adopted special needs boys, and now have 3 biological children, ages 11, 7 and 1. Two children (Zeb and Effy) currently attend Timothy Lutheran School. After high school, Jeremy joined the Marine Corps as a reservist. In 1997, he joined DST Systems (now owned by SS&C Technologies), where he works on large IT systems. After 28 years, he now serves as a Lead Data Engineer building the company’s centralized data platform. God and shareholders willing, he’d like to retire with the company in another 15 years. Jeremy is a devout DIY enthusiast and is passionate about understanding how things work. He enjoys doing his own home repairs, auto maintenance and tech upgrades. He feels empowered by Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. He recently put that verse into action, completing his bachelor's degree in business administration. |

He enjoys vacationing on cruise ships, building tabletop miniatures, and listening to audio-books. He’s into whatever cartoons, shows, movies and video games that his kids are. He collects all manner of jokes, especially “Dad Jokes”. He likes to organize them in his Dadabase. |
