Join Us This Sunday - God’s Glory Reveals Judgement

Here’s an encounter with the glorious God we can’t pass by although we might want to. Here in this vision Amos, the prophet experiences the glory of God as judge. It’s a heavy scene of devastation and destruction. Yet even in this truth we find hope.

First Reading: Amos 9:1-10

Gospel Reading: Luke 13:1-9

Current Series: The Glory of the Lord:

An Advent Journey Nov 30th - Dec 28th

This Advent season, we invite you to behold the radiant glory of God as it breaks into our world and hearts. In this series, The Glory of the Lord, we will explore how God's glory reveals His promises, His power, His plans, His perfection, His uniqueness, His judgment, His identity, and even our calling. Each week, we’ll reflect on how the brilliance of His presence not only illuminates the story of Christ’s coming but also transforms our understanding of who God is and who we are in Him. Come and discover the wonder of Advent through the lens of divine glory—majestic, holy, and full of grace.

Annual Voters’ Assembly Meeting Recap

Annual Voters’ Assembly Meeting Recap

Thank you to the 103 members who signed in for last Sunday’s Voters’ Assembly meeting! Your participation is vital to the life and mission of Timothy Lutheran Church.

During the meeting, the Assembly:
✅ Approved the proposed slate of lay leaders
✅ Confirmed MO District Convention lay delegates
✅ Adopted the 2026 operating budget

(If you are wanting a copy of the approved budget, please email maryt@timothylutheran.com)

Leadership Update:
During the election, the office of President remains vacant as no candidate was nominated or elected. In accordance with Article B 4(F) of our Constitution and Bylaws, the Executive Board is authorized to appoint a successor to fill vacancies.

At its January meeting, the Board will appoint Joe Sauter, who has been (or will be) duly reelected as Treasurer, to serve as Interim President for six months. This appointment ensures continuity of leadership while the Nominating Committee continues to seek a permanent candidate.

At the end of the six-month period, the Board will revisit the appointment:

If Joe continues as President, a new Treasurer will be appointed.
If Joe resumes full-time Treasurer duties, a new Interim President will be appointed.

Regular communications will keep the congregation informed of progress.

Thank you for your commitment to supporting God’s work through Timothy Lutheran. Together, we continue to share Christ’s love in our community and beyond!

Isaiah’s ministry starts in quite a startling way as he is given a vision into the throne room of God. Yet Isaiah recognizes just how unworthy and sinful he is.

He currently serves as an elected elder, is a member of the Grow Commission, has volunteered in leading the senior high youth for over 16 years, and coaches the Timothy Lutheran School soccer team.

Faith, Fellowship, and Fun: Trivia Night Blesses Timothy Lutheran Scool Students

What an incredible evening we shared at this year’s Trivia Night! Laughter filled the room, friendly competition brought out everyone’s best, and the joy of being together reminded us once again how richly God blesses our Timothy Lutheran School community.

Because of the generosity of our families, friends, staff, and sponsors, we are thrilled to announce that Trivia Night raised a total of $3,564.55. Every dollar of this will go directly to our TLS Scholarship Fund, helping ensure that more students can experience a Christ-centered education, an investment that impacts hearts, minds, and futures.

Events like this aren’t just about funds; they are about fellowship. Scripture reminds us in 1 Thessalonians 5:11 to “encourage one another and build each other up,” and that’s exactly what this night represented. From those who planned and decorated, to those who attended, donated, volunteered, sponsored, or simply prayed over the event, thank you. Your time and support reflect the hands and feet of Christ in action.

We are deeply grateful for this community and for the way God continues to work through each of you. Thank you for making Trivia Night a success, for supporting our students, and for helping us strengthen the mission of Timothy Lutheran School.

Thank You, Timothy!

A heartfelt thank you to our Timothy congregation for making the LWML Nuts and Candy Drive a wonderful success! Your generosity and support truly make a difference, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Because of your participation, proceeds from this drive will go toward LWML Mites and Timothy’s Emergency Assistance Fund, helping us continue to serve others and share Christ’s love in meaningful ways.Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus in action. Your kindness and commitment strengthen our mission and bless our community!

Breakfast in Bethlehem: A Joy-Filled Journey to the Manger

Timothy Lutheran School’s PTL along with the Festival Committee invite you and your family to step into the heart of the Christmas story at our upcoming Breakfast in Bethlehem event tomorrow Saturday, December 6th from 9:00–11:00am.

This special morning begins with a warm and delicious pancake and sausage breakfast. A free-will offering will be accepted (suggested donation of $5 per person), with all proceeds supporting ongoing campus safety improvements at TLS.

After breakfast, families are invited to travel through Bethlehem, visiting interactive stations that bring the story of Jesus’ birth to life. Children will receive a “passport” to collect stamps along the way, meeting familiar figures from the Nativity story and discovering the wonder, promise, and joy of our Savior’s arrival.

At the end of their journey, each child will receive a special keepsake gift to remember the morning.

This event is designed for all ages and open to the entire congregation and community. Whether you are bringing children, grandchildren, neighbors, or simply wish to take a peaceful walk through the story of Christmas yourself, we hope you’ll join us for this meaningful and family-friendly celebration.

Gluten-free options will be available.

Come share breakfast, fellowship, and the true joy of Christmas as we journey to Bethlehem together!

Join Us This Sunday: God’s Glory Reveals His Plans

When God shows up in a burning bush, Moses freaks out a little bit. But God doesn’t simply come to startle Moses but to assure him and all Israel, that He sees their suffering, and has a plan of salvation in motion.

First Reading: Exodus 3:1-10

Gospel Reading: John 10:1-10

Meet Tary Krahenbuhl Director of Elders

Tary, along with his wife Mickey, joined Timothy in 1994. They have both been blessed with 4 wonderful children. Natalie and her husband Alec, Michelle, Chad and his wife Catie, and Jacob. They are both having the time of their life spoiling their most adorable granddaughter, Aurora, (Natalie & Alec; parents) who will be turning 2 in a couple weeks. Tary & Mickey just celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary.

Tary just recently retired after a 45-year career with Austin Hardware & Supply. Traveling the world and USA supplying and manufacturing products for the industrial vehicle industry was an incredible experience. The relationships that were made and life lessons learned along the way paved the road for an amazing and memorable career.

Tary’s journey with Timothy Church started with the Promise Keeper movement, along with the men of Timothy who were part of that experience. Tary is currently serving Timothy as the Director of Elders. Tary has been working with the Board of Elders since 1996. Tary served as the Call Committee Chairman starting in 2024, and with God’s help and direction the Call Committee found Pastor Kendall Meyer to lead Timothy as our new Senior Pastor. Tary is co-chairman of the Timmy Burger Festival Committee. Tary is also the Chartered Organization Representative for Troop 175 and Pack 175 scout units, who are sponsored by Timothy Church.

When not working on church activities, Tary loves playing golf, hunting is a passion, boating anywhere, watching sports—especially the Chiefs, and spending time with his family doing all of the above. He also enjoys working in the yard and watching movies. Tary & Mickey are looking forward to spending time together traveling to new places and celebrating retired life.

SMALL GROUP MINISTRY

The GROW Commission is hard at work to revive small group Bible Studies at Timothy. Small groups will provide a way for each one of us to connect with others in our congregation to read and study God’s Word and GROW in our faith. To do that we begin the process of forming small groups of 8-10 to meet weekly in someone’s home or at church. Groups will begin meeting early next year.

During late October and early November, Commission members will be available at a table in the lobby to share more information, answer questions, and gather names of people willing to host, lead, or join a small group. Each of these roles looks a little different. Don’t worry or feel uncertain if you’ve never been part of a small group. It’s fun, easy, and uplifting. As members of God’s family, we’re all on this faith journey together! We can encourage and support each other along the way. Wherever you are in your walk or whatever your skills may be, everyone has something to contribute, and each part is important.

Stop by the GROW table after services on Sunday morning or contact Mary Reed for more information.

Learn more about LWML

Have you ever wondered what drives the LWML mission? What is the fuel behind every quilt tied, every missionary supported, and every act of compassion shown? It all goes back to a final, powerful command from our risen Lord. On the day of His Ascension, Jesus gave His followers their assignment. We read it in Luke, chapter 24: "Go... proclaim repentance and forgiveness of sins in His name to all nations." This command is the very heartbeat of the church, and it is the central theme for this Lutheran Women in Mission Sunday. The work they celebrate isn't just about charity; it's about proclamation. It is the life-changing message of forgiveness in Jesus' name that motivates us to serve and to GO. All glory be to Jesus!

Meet Jeremy Montgomery - Executive Board 4th Vice President

Jeremy joined Timothy in 2011 after marrying long-time member, Guin Merrell. Together, they raised 3 adopted special needs boys, and now have 3 biological children, ages 11, 7 and 1. Two children (Zeb and Effy) currently attend Timothy Lutheran School.

After high school, Jeremy joined the Marine Corps as a reservist. In 1997, he joined DST Systems (now owned by SS&C Technologies), where he works on large IT systems. After 28 years, he now serves as a Lead Data Engineer building the company’s centralized data platform. God and shareholders willing, he’d like to retire with the company in another 15 years.

Jeremy is a devout DIY enthusiast and is passionate about understanding how things work. He enjoys doing his own home repairs, auto maintenance and tech upgrades. He feels empowered by Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. He recently put that verse into action, completing his bachelor's degree in business administration.

He enjoys vacationing on cruise ships, building tabletop miniatures, and listening to audio-books. He’s into whatever cartoons, shows, movies and video games that his kids are. He collects all manner of jokes, especially “Dad Jokes”. He likes to organize them in his Dadabase.

Join Us This Sunday - The Home

Home is the most incredible place to be. And I’m talking about the place of comfort, not necessarily the location. Today as we wrap up this Psalm, we hear David proclaim his desire is to be home with the Lord and nothing could beat that. Yet we also recognize, as sheep, we aren’t super skilled at navigating how to get home. And to be honest sometimes we can be found declaring “I never want to go home!” No matter the situation, the Shepherd acts just as we have seen over the past few weeks. So how will the Shepherd bring home sheep? Come gather with the flock and find out.

Current Series - The Greatest Comfort

We all know Psalm 23. It’s a passage that’s been committed to memory by countless people, a passage that brings comfort in times of sorrow, and a refrain often heard at funerals. But is this beloved Psalm just for the dying or those in grief? Or is it for us today, in every circumstance of our lives?

September 7th - October 12th, we will explore Psalm 23 and discover how it speaks to us and our lives with Christ. This Psalm isn't just about comfort in our final moments; it’s about finding comfort and guidance in our daily lives. Join us as we take a deep dive into this beloved Psalm and develop a greater understanding of what it truly means to walk with Jesus, our Good Shepherd.

Men’s Bible Study in James: Something Worth Getting Up For

Are you ready to start your day with purpose? JourneyMen invites you to join a new Bible study through the Book of James beginning Tuesday, October 21, from 6:30–7:30 a.m. We’ll gather at Royal Biscuit in Blue Springs at 15th and 40 Highway, where you can enjoy breakfast and coffee while diving into Scripture.

This study is open to all men who desire to grow stronger in their faith and deepen their relationship with Jesus. James challenges us to live out our faith with wisdom, perseverance, and integrity—truths every man need for daily life.

Whether you’re a regular in Bible study or just getting started, this is an opportunity to build meaningful connections and start your mornings with encouragement. Bring a friend, come hungry for the Word (and maybe for biscuits and gravy), and discover how God’s Word can reshape your walk.

Meet Doug Hick, 2nd Vice President of Timothy Executive Board

Doug Hick has been a member of the Executive Board for 4 years. He and his wife Margaret, who will be married 38 years this December, came back to Timothy after being at Messiah while their three kids attended the grade school. They had previously been members of Timothy for about 10 years beginning in 1995. Doug and Margaret live in Lee’s Summit and their 3 children are all grown, all living in the KC area. They have two grandsons - a one year old and a one month old. Doug is an attorney and Margaret works part-time at St. Luke’s East as a newborn hearing screener. Doug grew up in St. Louis and ironically, went to the same grade school and high school as Pastor Ryan and Pastor Kendall. Margaret grew up in Independence. He and Margaret met at Mizzou and started their life after college in Raytown. They enjoy spending time with their kids and grand-kids, two dogs, boating and enjoying their season tickets to Mizzou football. Doug and Margaret have both been very active in the churches they have been at as well as at Messiah Lutheran School. Margaret currently serves on the Grow Commission and she and Doug have been Prayer Pals for several years.

Doug and Margaret are very excited about what is happening at Timothy. They attend the 9:00 service and believe Timothy is on a path of growing all ministries so that all can

experience the joy and peace that come with walking with Christ on a daily basis.

On Wednesday, October 1st, Prayer Pals gathered with their Confirmation Students for a “Meet & Munch” event. The Prayer Pal program matches an adult member of the congregation with a 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th grader. The hope is to help the middle school youth to develop friendships with adult mentors in the congregation. This was the first meeting for some of the pairings and for others it was simply a time to catch up on what new is happening in each other’s lives. 70 in attendance enjoyed good conversation and yummy snacks.

Join Us This Sunday - Changed

The time with the Shepherd has been good so far. By grace He has drawn, provided, protected, and guided. Not surprising, that’s what a Good Shepherd does but today things have changed. Circumstances change, identities change, locations change, and we find ourselves coming to a table. A table filled with an overwhelming abundance of food and drink. But who is this table for, and what is it for? Come gather with the flock and find out.

Timothy Leadership Needs You!

Do you know someone who should be using his/her gifts and skills in lay leadership positions at Timothy? Is God nudging you to join Timothy's leadership team? Is 2026 the year for you to offer your leadership talents? Open positions on the Executive Board, Board of Elected Elders, and Commission Leaders will be publicized mid-late October. Please pray about how you can get involved and contact Diane Mayfield (dianem@timothylutheran.com or 816.898.8772) with questions of how you can pursue this opportunity to serve in a ministry to transform lives through Christ.

Meet Doug Spilker, 1st Vice-President Executive Board

Doug and his wife, Cathy, have been members of Timothy for over 40 years, and during that time Doug has had various volunteer opportunities at Timothy – usher, appointed elder, reader, choir member, Property Board and is currently a member of the Executive Board, and designee to the GIVE Commission. Doug grew up in central Ohio, but he and his family relocated to the Kansas City area with his career as Research Product Manager for the Home Garden Products of the Bayer Agricultural Division. He and Cathy have two children, and two grandchildren. He is a proud third generation graduate of The Ohio State University! His passions, before and after retirement, have always been nature photography and gardening, and he especially enjoys their 10 -acre wooded property on the northern edge of Blue Springs.

Women of Hope Autumn Nature Event

Timothy's Women of Hope leadership team invites Timothy Church (men & women) to a new opportunity to experience and appreciate God's natural world! We will gather at Burr Oaks Conservation Area in north Blue Springs off Highway 7, one mile west on Park Road, from 4-6:30pm on Thursday, Oct 9, for devotion, fellowship, walking the trail (if desired--wear your walking shoes!), bringing a sack lunch (if desired) to eat at the picnic tables, as well as a special opportunity from 5:30ish-6:30 to learn from Timothy's own Scott Ready, who is an Extension Master Gardener and a volunteer co-coordinator at Burr Oaks. He plans to talk about the native garden in front of the center and discovering the benefits of native plants. It will be a special opportunity to "grow" our friendships, knowledge of native plants & horticulture in general, and humble adoration for God's natural world in our midst.

A Shepherd’s Heart: Serving Our Neighbors at Our Redeemer

A spirit of fellowship and service was on full display this past Sunday as a group of our members visited Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Kansas City to share a meal and God’s Word.

It was a blessing to serve about 30 people a comforting meal of chili, hotdogs, and chili dogs, complete with chips and delicious apple or cherry cobbler. The spirit of giving continued as the team assembled take-home lunches, extending the gesture of care beyond the shared meal.

The spiritual focus of the gathering was Jesus' powerful parable of the Lost Sheep. The story served as a poignant reminder that, just like the shepherd who sought the one lost sheep, Jesus tirelessly seeks each of us out, offering comfort and reunion when we feel lost and alone.

The outreach was so well-received that Timothy has been asked to return in November to serve a full Thanksgiving meal. If you feel called to participate in this rewarding ministry, please watch for an invitation to join!

Following the event, Pat Enomoto shared a touching message of gratitude:

“You showed up with heart, enthusiasm, and a deep love for Jesus and your fellow man—regardless of their circumstances. What an incredible, high-energy day! Your presence not only served our friends in the Northeast area, but also uplifted your friends here at Our Redeemer. Sometimes we feel like the little lost sheep, and it’s comforting to be reminded that Jesus knows exactly where we are and what we’re doing.”

“Thank you—and your wonderful ‘gang’—from the bottom of our hearts.”

Middle School Big Game Day: Fun, Fellowship, and Faith

Middle School students at Timothy Lutheran School recently enjoyed a lively and engaging Big Game Day filled with fun, fellowship, and faith-building moments.

The afternoon kicked off with a variety of games, including Chutes and Ladders, a group round of HHH (Heads, Hands, and Heart), and several activity stations where students could explore and play freely. Laughter and energy filled the space as students connected with one another in a relaxed and joyful environment.

After the games, everyone gathered for snack time during a meaningful devotion centered on the story of Samuel, encouraging students to reflect on listening to God's voice and being open to His calling.

The day wrapped up with a spirited everyone-round of volleyball, bringing the group together one last time for teamwork and fun.

Big Game Day was a wonderful reminder of the joy that comes from community, play, and growing in faith together.
