In Joshua 3, God calls His people to step into the Jordan before the waters part—teaching us that faith often moves ahead of understanding. When a church faces a big step, the promise isn’t that we’ll see the plan clearly, but that God goes before us. The river didn’t part until their feet got wet, and God still meets His people in the same way today.
First Reading: Joshua 3:1-17 Gospel Reading: Matthew 14:22-33 |

As we step into the midsummer groove, we will be beginning a sermon series called “Shared Spaces, Shared Lives.” In this series we will begin to explore how God forms and sustains His people through life lived together in Christ. Walking through the early chapters of Acts, we see the Spirit creating sacred spaces of unity through Word and prayer, shaping hearts through radical generosity, and sanctifying everyday relationships. Along the way, Christ brings healing and restoration, drawing broken lives back into community. Ultimately, the Spirit empowers believers to share not only space, but life itself—boldly witnessing to Christ together in the world. |

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our VBS Celebration Sunday! It was truly a wonderful day filled with joy, worship, and community.
Our children brought smiles to every face as they sang during both services, sharing the songs they learned throughout Vacation Bible School. Their enthusiasm and courage were a beautiful reflection of all they experienced during the week, and we are so proud of each one of them.
After the services, families gathered outside to continue the celebration. Delicious options from the food trucks made lunchtime easy and fun, giving everyone a chance to relax and connect. The laughter continued as children and adults alike enjoyed yard games, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere for all.
Events like this are made special because of each of you—those who participated, volunteered, supported, and showed up to encourage our kids. Thank you for being part of a community that invests in the next generation and together we can transform lives through Christ. |

For many years, Mary Thompson faithfully collected and delivered aluminum pop tabs to the Ronald McDonald House, helping support families with children receiving medical care. We are grateful for her dedication to this ministry. Mary is no longer able to transport the tabs, and we are looking for a volunteer who would be willing to take over dropping off the collected pop tabs on an occasional basis. If you would be interested in helping with this simple but meaningful service, please contact the church office, 816-228-5300. Thank you for considering how you can continue this tradition of caring for families in need. |

Timothy Lutheran Church and School is partnering with Hillcrest Transitional Housing this July to support individuals and families working toward stability and self-sufficiency. Throughout the month, we will be collecting much-needed items to help meet everyday needs for those in the Hillcrest program.
Hillcrest Transitional Housing provides a pathway for families and individuals to transition from homelessness to independence, offering housing, financial education, and life-skills support. By contributing to this collection, our Timothy community can play a meaningful role in encouraging and uplifting our neighbors during their journey.
A designated collection cart will be available at church throughout July. We invite you to stop by, take a look at the list of requested items, and bring donations as you are able. Every item given—big or small—makes a difference and reflects Christ’s love in action.
Thank you for your continued generosity and commitment to serving others. Let’s come together this July to make a positive impact in our community!
