Last week, we explored what it means to have a meaningful relationship with Jesus. Like any relationship, it requires time, intentionality, and commitment to grow. Today, we’ll look at how we nurture that connection with Christ—and reflect on the distractions and challenges that often keep us from doing so.
First Reading: Colossians 2:6-10 Gospel Reading: John 15:1-11 |

Another New Year is on the horizon, and we have much to be thankful for including Pastor Kendall, Lynn and family joining us here at Timothy. Now we set our eyes on what the Lord is calling us to as Timothy Lutheran Ministries in 2026. As we have prayerfully considered and conversed, the Lord has placed us to center our attention on Revitalizing Relationships by Sharing Sacred Spaces. So, we are going to kick off 2026 inviting you to join us as we work toward deepening our relationships with Jesus, with one another, and with those outsides. We are going to be challenged, exhorted, and encouraged in the year ahead. We are praying for God to do amazing things! |

This week, Gary Flandermeyer delivered approximately 300 pounds of food donations from Timothy to the Blue Springs Community Services League. These items, generously provided by our church family throughout December, will help meet urgent needs in our community.
The Community Services League team expressed deep gratitude for these badly needed supplies, which will make a real difference for local families. Thank you, Timothy, for sharing Christ’s love in such a tangible way! |

| We are grateful for all who serve in elected lay leader positions—your dedication is vital to God’s ministries among us and beyond. This year’s 2026 Lay Leader Installation will take place during both worship services this Sunday, January 11: This schedule allows worshipers in both services to witness and celebrate this important moment.
Important Notes: Thank you for your faithful service as we continue to share Christ’s love in our community! “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” – 1 Peter 4:10 |

In 2026 GROW Commission will focus on revitalizing small group ministry, with the goal of connecting all of us with God's Word and each other. Several members have already stepped forward to lead new small groups, but several more are still needed. Leaders don't have to be Biblical experts, but will guide or facilitate a group of 10-14 as you study God's Word together. Leaders may host their group, but may also work with another person who's willing to host but doesn't want to facilitate. Materials will be available and an orientation/training meeting will be held in January. Groups will form in February and begin meeting in March.
Is God tugging at your heart to get involved? If so, don't hesitate to jump in! For more information, contact Mary Reed. 816-248-5087 or mjreedfamily76@gmail.com. |

Oasis Family Night – January 14 Lesson: Jairus’ Daughter (Matthew 9:18–26) Life can get hectic, and we all need moments to pause, reconnect, and recharge. That’s why we’re excited to invite you to the next Oasis Family Night on Wednesday, January 14, from 6:00–7:30 PM! This month, our Bible focus will be the powerful story of Jairus’ daughter (Matthew 9:18–26)—a beautiful reminder of Jesus’ compassion, His authority over every challenge, and the hope He brings even in moments that feel impossible. Families will explore this story together as we learn what it means to trust God amid life’s interruptions and uncertainties. Oasis Family Night offers something meaningful for everyone: Oasis is all about creating a laid back environment where you can find renewal for your soul and reconnect with one another in the middle of a busy week. RSVP today! Click the register here button or visit our website to register so we can plan for food. We can’t wait to share this evening of faith, fellowship, and renewal with you! |
