Acts 2:44-45, we see God’s grace reshapes the way believers live with one another. Fred by the gospel, they share their lives and resources so that no one is left in need. This generosity becomes a sacred space where God’s abundant grace is made visible, revealing His loving heart through a community that cares deeply for one another.
First Reading: Acts 2:44-45 Gospel Reading: Luke 12:32-34 |

Last week, an email was sent to Timothy members inviting you to participate in our ““How Is God Stretching You?” Assessment as part of our Growing Pains: When God Stretches His Church sermon series.
If you have not had a chance to complete the assessment yet, we encourage you to do so prayerfully and thoughtfully. This tool is designed to help you discover the unique gifts God has given you and explore ways He may be calling you to grow in faith, service, and relationships.
The assessment can be completed online through the link provided in the email. If you prefer a paper version, copies are available at church. Once completed, please return paper assessments to the Administrative Church Office.
Your responses will be reviewed confidentially by the GIVE Commission, who will help identify areas of strength, spiritual gifts, and opportunities for service that align with how God may be leading you.
Thank you for taking the time to participate. We look forward to seeing how God is working through the people of Timothy to serve His church and community.
"Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it." — 1 Corinthians 12:27 |

These improvements will provide a renewed outdoor space for church activities, youth gatherings, and community events for years to come.
