Every day, it is estimated that there are over 8,000 GoFundMe pages set up so people can GIVE to a certain cause. There is certainly no shortage of places to give our money. But we also know the world is filled with requests to give our time, and energy also. And the church is one of those places. As people of God, we know giving matters and we know hen we attend church at Timothy we are going to hear about it. But what if we hear about it in a different way. Join us as we worship and wrestle with what means to GIVE.
The church in Scriptures is described as the “bride of Christ.” As we gather as Timothy Lutheran Church and School, the question is, do we look like Christ’s bride? And the answer is probably “not always.” So, how does Timothy Lutheran Ministries pursue the identity God has given to us? Well, throughout our history here in Blue Springs, we have sought to stay grounded in that identity by rallying around a vision. That vision is to “transform lives through Christ.” Through August 31, we are going to come back to that vision grounded in biblical truths and refresh our hearts and minds to the calling and commitment we must walk as Christ's bride, right where He put us.

The Call Committee was busy with weekly zoom interviews with Senior Pastor candidates on Tuesday evening in July. Each of these interviews has been insightful and fruitful as we seek to discern God’s Will in finding the man He has already chosen as Timothy’s next Senior Pastor.
Second interviews with a select group of the candidates will be scheduled for August. While it has been a very busy summer at Timothy and for the all Committee’s and candidates’ personal schedules, we remain diligent throughout the process and are pleased with progress so far. A goal is to send a slate of candidates for congregational review and vote in September.
Please continue to keep the Divine Call process, Timothy’s Call committee, Timothy church, and the senior pastor candidates and their churches in your prayers. May God’s Will be done.

Not only is Jesus the right answer to most Sunday School questions. He is also the one whose faithful endurance is our only hope for enduring life in this sin-wrecked creation. Today, we step into these verses from Hebrews, which our Senior High Youth are encountering throughout their time in New Orleans. As they reflect and worship, so do we reflect and worship together with them. Join us as we consider what it means that Jesus endured and how He prepares us too also.
The church in Scriptures is described as the “bride of Christ.” As we gather each week as Timothy Lutheran Church and School, the question is, do we look like Christ’s bride? And the answer is probably “not always.” So, how does Timothy Lutheran Ministries pursue the identity God has given to us? Well, throughout our history here in Blue Springs, we have sought to stay grounded in that identity by rallying around a vision. That vision is to “transform lives through Christ.” Over the course of the next 6 weeks, we are going to come back to that vision grounded in biblical truths and refresh our hearts and minds to the calling and commitment we must walk as Christ's bride, right where He put us.

Let’s be honest, when we hear news about our health, it does cause concern in some way, shape, or form. That’s natural because it reminds us of our mortality. Our Lord today speaks into the fears and uncertainties His disciples held in their hearts. And yes, He offers the same consolation to us as well, and it just so happens to be wrapped in the work of the Spirit.
The heart is vital for life. Once your heartbeat stops, life ceases to exist. The Scriptures speak of the heart often, although it isn’t simply the muscle that pumps blood through the body. The “heart” symbolizes the inner person, the source of thoughts, emotions, desires, and will of one’s life. Through June 15th, we will wrestle with what the Scriptures reveal about our hearts and how God engages and redeems our hearts. Yep, it’s time to do some “Heartwork,” so join us this Sunday.

No doubt, God has promised to give us a new heart through Him. But on this side of eternity, we still face the challenges of spiritual disease. So, how do we take care of our hearts in such a way that they are strengthened and ready for whatever comes? Today, we heed the direction from our Lord’s instructions to His people Israel.

Faith, Family & Fatherhood is a space for dads to grow in faith, build brotherhood, and support one another through the highs and lows of fatherhood. Whether it’s the daily grind or sacred milestones, you don’t have to walk it alone.
Guided by Proverbs 22:6
"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it."
If you’re a dad looking for biblical encouragement, real connection, and a community that gets it—this is for you.
We’ll meet the first Friday of every month moving forward.
Let’s walk this road of fatherhood together—with faith, family, and purpose.
More than 40 years ago, the Missouri District established an endowment to provide scholarships for university and seminary students from our state who were preparing for professional church work vocations. This school year, that same fund provided aid to 62 students. Praise God! As we prepare for our upcoming convention, congregations will be praying for the proceedings and taking a special offering on June 1 to help strengthen the Missouri District’s scholarship endowment. Our convention theme—"Bold Hope in Christ"—is a fitting reminder of how we can confidently work together in His kingdom for His glory. Thank you for your support!
Please donate directly to the Missouri District if you would like to donate. Click the button below to donate.
God’s continual care and concern for all of us have made us well-equipped to do the same for others. Thank you for showing the love of Christ to a community needing comfort. Should you have any questions, please reach out to the District office at 314-590-6200.

Summer is in full swing. Timothy Lutheran Church is seeking volunteers to help with lawn mowing on our church/school grounds. This is a great opportunity to serve outdoors and help keep our property looking its best throughout the warmer months.
If you are willing to lend a hand, please contact Gary Williams or Mary Taggart for more details. Contact the church at 816-228-5300. Your time and effort are greatly appreciated!
Summer is here, which means the free live Wednesday concerts at Colonial Gardens are back! All Timothy ladies and their friends are invited to join Women of Hope on Wednesday, June 18, at 6 pm in their greenhouse to relax with friends and make new friends! Colonial also offers farm-to-table food and a variety of drinks to purchase. Questions? Contact Diane Mayfield at dianem@timothylutheran.com.
During June, we’re collecting items and gas cards ($10–$30) for Community Services League. Pick up a list of needed donations at the cart in the lobby. Gas cards can be dropped off with Sandy at the front desk. Thank you for supporting our community!
