| God has already placed every gift our church needs right here within the body of Christ. In Ephesians 4, we see that pastors equip the saints—and the saints carry out the ministry—so the whole church grows in strength and unity. This isn’t a plea for more volunteers; it’s a call to unleash the Spirit‑given gifts already among us.
First Reading: Ephesians 4: 11-16 Gospel Reading: Matthew 25:14-30 |

As we hopped into the cars at 6:00 a.m. on June 1, I told our 17-member mission team, “You never know what will happen on a mission trip.” With that, we set out to follow the Lord’s call. It was an incredible week in so many ways. We grew closer as a group, worked long days—sometimes up to 12 hours—enjoyed amazing food, prayed together, and spent time in God’s Word. We built relationships across language barriers and were mutually blessed by the community we served. Along the way, we sang, laughed, spotted a tarantula, learned new skills, and helped build a home for a deeply grateful family. Through it all, we experienced God’s transformational work as He stretched and strengthened us in many ways. Thank you for your support—for sending us, funding so much of this trip, and covering us in prayer. We didn’t go simply as 17 individuals; we went as Timothy Lutheran Church and School. I encourage you to come ask us about our experiences—we would love to share stories and help you see all that God has done. Once again, thank you for your financial support and faithful prayers. We had a fantastic week serving the Ojeda family in Acuña, Mexico. |

Children will remain in the worship service with their families instead of being dismissed to FaithRoots.
