Here’s an encounter with the glorious God we can’t pass by although we might want to. Here in this vision Amos, the prophet experiences the glory of God as judge. It’s a heavy scene of devastation and destruction. Yet even in this truth we find hope.
First Reading: Amos 9:1-10 Gospel Reading: Luke 13:1-9 |

This Advent season, we invite you to behold the radiant glory of God as it breaks into our world and hearts. In this series, The Glory of the Lord, we will explore how God's glory reveals His promises, His power, His plans, His perfection, His uniqueness, His judgment, His identity, and even our calling. Each week, we’ll reflect on how the brilliance of His presence not only illuminates the story of Christ’s coming but also transforms our understanding of who God is and who we are in Him. Come and discover the wonder of Advent through the lens of divine glory—majestic, holy, and full of grace. |

Annual Voters’ Assembly Meeting Recap Thank you to the 103 members who signed in for last Sunday’s Voters’ Assembly meeting! Your participation is vital to the life and mission of Timothy Lutheran Church.
During the meeting, the Assembly:
✅ Approved the proposed slate of lay leaders
✅ Confirmed MO District Convention lay delegates
✅ Adopted the 2026 operating budget (If you are wanting a copy of the approved budget, please email maryt@timothylutheran.com)
Leadership Update:
During the election, the office of President remains vacant as no candidate was nominated or elected. In accordance with Article B 4(F) of our Constitution and Bylaws, the Executive Board is authorized to appoint a successor to fill vacancies. At its January meeting, the Board will appoint Joe Sauter, who has been (or will be) duly reelected as Treasurer, to serve as Interim President for six months. This appointment ensures continuity of leadership while the Nominating Committee continues to seek a permanent candidate. At the end of the six-month period, the Board will revisit the appointment: If Joe continues as President, a new Treasurer will be appointed. If Joe resumes full-time Treasurer duties, a new Interim President will be appointed.
Regular communications will keep the congregation informed of progress. Thank you for your commitment to supporting God’s work through Timothy Lutheran. Together, we continue to share Christ’s love in our community and beyond! |

This Christmas season, our church family came together in an incredible way to share love and hope through the Giving Tree ministry. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to make a meaningful impact in our community: Over 100 gifts were collected for 8 families served by LUMA, ensuring each family experienced the joy of Christmas. A barrel full of gifts—and another barrel’s worth surrounding it— provided blessings for Blue Springs residents through CSL’s Christmas Shop. 9 gifts were donated to support a Hillcrest resident and his daughter, bringing comfort and cheer. Additionally, 14 gift cards were given to Hillcrest to assist individuals and families struggling with homelessness.
Your kindness has touched lives in ways that go beyond the holiday season. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ in our community! |

As the Christmas season approaches, Timothy Lutheran Ministries focuses on supporting the Community Services League (CSL) through our December donation drive. All month long, we invite you to join us in giving back to those in need.
Donations can be placed in the grocery cart located in the church lobby, just to the right (east) of the south entry doors. Suggested donation lists are available in the cart to guide your contributions. Simply take a list, fill a grocery bag with items, and return it to the same location at your convenience throughout December.
Your generosity helps provide essential support to the Community Services League as they assist individuals and families in need during the holiday season.
Thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ through this vital ministry. Blessings to you and your family this Christmas! |
