The Bible is filled with words and pages. At times, it’s easy to read. Other times, it is complicated. But this collection of 66 books tells one united story. The Story of God’s Salvation. This isn’t just a story, but a reality. For what God has done, what Jesus has done, is our reality. Join us today as we walk with Pastor Rod through this incredible truth.

On Thursday, June 19th, the Call Committee met to review and discuss our analysis and consideration for the 13 candidates we selected from the original list sent to us by the Missouri district office. We had a very long discussion about each member’s review process and the extensive research that we conducted for each of the 13 pastors. The teamwork, energy, and cohesiveness amongst all the members of our committee are amazing and very exciting to be a part of, truly a blessing to be thankful for. We narrowed down our list of pastor candidates to 9 pastors that we felt very strongly about conducting a Zoom interview to learn more about them and to help us determine if they were the right match to be our next Senior Pastor. We scheduled four Tuesdays in July to conduct Zoom interviews with each of the Pastors. We have contacted each of the pastors and provided them with our time and date schedule for them to select what works best for them. We have finalized a good number of the scheduled interviews as of now, but we are waiting for a few more to fill in the remaining date and time slots.
The Call Committee really appreciates all the support, kind words, and prayers that we have been receiving from the Timothy congregation. Please continue to pray for the Call Committee, the pastor candidates and their congregations, Pastor Ryan and Pastor Rod, and for Timothy Lutheran Church as we follow God’s will and direction in this Divine Call process.
Dads, you’re invited to the next Faith, Family, and Fatherhood gathering on Friday, July 11, from 7–9 PM. This group brings together fathers navigating the same season of life—raising children, leading their homes, and walking in faith.
Our time together offers encouragement, real conversation, and Christ-centered support for the highs and lows of fatherhood. Whether you're a new dad or have years of experience, this is a space to grow in community and purpose.
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” — our mission is clear: to raise the next generation with intentionality, integrity, and a strong foundation in Christ.
Would like volunteers to bring weed eaters, chainsaws, boots, and gloves, which are strongly recommended. Volunteers can text Louie for questions or details.
Mark your calendars to volunteer a couple of hours on July 19th, 8 am-noon
Men, women, and teens will all be helpful and much appreciated. It is recommended to bring/wear gloves.

It is incredibly easy to lose sight of the truth in our world. That’s true whether we are young kids or seasoned adults. Over this past week, our VBS invited both leaders and youth to gather around in worship, learning, games, experiments, and crafts, all to remind us that Jesus is our True North. And we can trust His direction and guidance in our lives. Let’s celebrate our joy-filled VBS week by looking to our True North.

We are excited to introduce Jessica Yanez as Timothy’s new Children's and Middle School Ministry Coordinator!
Jessica is a lifelong Lutheran originally from Nebraska. After college, she and her family moved to Missouri from Texas and have called the Kansas City area home for the past eight years. During that time, Jessica worked in libraries throughout the metro before transitioning to being a full-time stay-at-home mom after the birth of her third child.
Jessica brings a love for faith, family, and learning to her new role at Timothy. When she’s not busy with her children, she enjoys gardening, crocheting, and spending quality time with her family.
As she begins this new chapter in ministry, we encourage you to give her a warm Timothy welcome! Be sure to say hello and introduce yourself when you see her around campus as she gets to know our church family. We’re thrilled to have her on board and can’t wait to see how God will work through her to bless our children and middle school students.

June is the time for fun outings, so Mary Martha Circle gathered for a picnic at a local park and continued collecting items for Care Beyond the Boulevard (CBB), the group they are supporting this month.

From the bottoms of our hearts, thank you for helping us cover more bottoms!

Being heart-healthy isn’t always the easiest task. It absolutely takes change and growing pains. As a result, it can be frustrating when we watch others trash their spiritual hearts and yet seemingly thrive. Our Psalmist today experiences this struggle, and in prayerful reflections, walks us through our response to it all.
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. This Sunday is the final message for this sermon series, as 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.
This Sunday, Timothy’s Gather Commission invites you to join us in celebrating Father’s Day with a special token of appreciation and a chance to capture the moment. All men will receive a free pen as a small thank-you for the big ways they serve and lead in their families, church, and community.
A photo backdrop will also be available in the lobby for families to take pictures together—don’t miss the opportunity to snap a keepsake with those you love!
Thank you to all the men of Timothy Lutheran for your faith, strength, and example.

When Adam Reed was diagnosed with leukemia at age 12, his Timothy family formed a prayer chain known as “Adam’s Army.” It spread until hundreds of “prayer warriors” were lifting daily prayers in support of Adam during his 2 1/2 years of treatment. After Adam’s death, the Reed family and our Timothy family established the Adam’s Army Blood Drive to honor his memory and help others in need. Last Saturday marked the 20th annual drive! At the latest drive, we collected 43 units of blood.
Support for the drive through the years has been amazing, and we are so grateful for everyone who has volunteered, contributed, and given of themselves (literally!) to support this important cause. Over the years, Adam’s Army has collected more than 1300 units of blood, which represents nearly 4000 lives impacted. Together, we have truly made a difference in our community. Thank you, Timothy family!
You’ve heard the phrase “covering all the bases”—now Timothy’s Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) is aiming to cover as many little bottoms as possible! This Sunday is the final opportunity that, LWML will collect disposable diapers of all sizes to support local families in need.

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.

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.
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.

Timothy family is one of them. Thanks for the prayers and cards, as I have now completed the 8 weeks of radiation. Life is good in Christ. - Willis Staller
Dear Pastor and Members of Timothy Lutheran Church,
We want to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks for your gifts for prayers, encouragement, and contributions are a vital part of the work being done on the mission field. Through the work of our missionaries, lives are being touched, hearts are being transformed, and the Gospel is reaching places throughout the world. May the work of Timothy Lutheran Church and each member be richly blessed as you continue to serve.
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.

The heart, like anything else in our body, is a tricky thing. We can be doing all the “right” things, and everything on the outside can look fine, but that doesn’t mean our heart is functioning the way it should be. The same is true for our spiritual heart. And Jesus declares today the importance of monitoring our heart by seeing what it is producing. Maybe it’s time to take the test and see where we are at.
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. Over the next 5 weeks, 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 starting May 18th.

Memorial Day Closure In honor of Memorial Day, the offices of Timothy Lutheran Church and School will be closed on Monday, May 27. We remember and give thanks for those who gave their lives in service to our country. Regular office hours will resume on Tuesday, May 28.
This past year, our church and school community rejoiced together as twelve individuals connected to Timothy Lutheran received the gift of baptism. Each baptism is a powerful reminder of God’s grace at work—calling, claiming, and covering these souls with His everlasting love.
We joyfully celebrate the baptisms of Aurora, James (former Pre-K student), and Olivia Carper, along with their mother, Rachel Carper; Charlotte Green (7th grade student, daughter of Steve and Carrie Green); Charlotte Helmich (5th grade student, daughter of Brandon and Jennifer Helmich); Miles Mattoon (son of Tyler and Katie Mattoon); Keziah Montgomery (daughter of Jeremy and Guin Montgomery); Kayden and Raena Myers (children of Thomas and Micaela Myers); Cooper Saylor (son of Aaron and Jennifer Saylor) and Lucas Tierney (3rd grade student, son of Andrew and Kristina Tierney).
These baptisms reflect the Holy Spirit at work in our midst. We lift these families in prayer and rejoice in their continued walk with Jesus.

Please prayerfully consider your gifts and willingness to serve in this way. Without more volunteers, we won’t be able to continue this amazing opportunity for our kiddos to grow in faith each week in the same way. Also be assured we work with individual’s schedules.

When there are heart issues, everything is put in jeopardy. The Scriptures speak the same way about our heart toward God. And Ezekiel starts out with some dire news. Man’s heart commonly becomes hardened like stone. As we contemplate this condition, the question becomes, “Is there anything that can be done?” Join us as we reflect on what the Lord has to say through the prophet.

It has been a long journey through the book of Hebrews. The preacher/writer has dived deep and clarified much about the work and purpose of Christ. But now he calls us to task in some concrete areas of our lives. He calls us to focus our attention on how we live and engage with those around us. How can we do that when things remain difficult and challenges continue to come? We do so with the assurance of who Christ is. Join me as we wrap up this series.
Who is the greatest? It’s a debate in sports circles, artist circles, fashion circles, and beyond. Even within the Scriptures, these debates are found: is Moses the greatest or is Abraham, is the law the greatest, or is grace even greater? On Sundays through May 11th, we will walk together through the book of Hebrews in a series called “Greater is He.” This book is a letter written to the church in Israel as they struggled to grasp the fullness of God’s victory in Christ. Chapter after chapter, we will see that Jesus is indeed greater than all things, all people, all promises. So join us by reading, worshiping, and being grounded in this eternal truth. Indeed, “Greater is He!”
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. Over the next 5 weeks, 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 starting May 18th.

Have you ever found yourself feeling spiritually empty, even while staying busy with all the right activities? If so, you're not alone. Many Christians today live in a world that is activity heavy and relationship light, leaving us unsure of what God truly wants from us and for us.
But this was never God's idea. His desire for us isn't rooted in religion or rule-following—it’s about relationship. A real, authentic connection with Him is the foundation of true spirituality.
Beginning Sunday, May 18, at 10:30 am, we invite you to join us as we launch a new teaching series inspired by an inspiring and practical book that outlines a clear path toward living like Christ. This study is designed to serve as a launching pad for your spiritual journey, offering specific and relevant steps for becoming a Christian who reflects Jesus in everyday life.
Our focus will be on Romans 12, where God gives us a compelling picture of what a believer should look like from the inside out. If you’re ready to move from in to all in—to grow deeper in your faith and live with greater purpose then this series is for you.
This Sunday, we invite you to celebrate the special women in your life with us at church. Whether it’s your mom, grandma, or a cherished mentor, take a moment to stop by our festive photo backdrop and snap a picture together—it’s a great way to capture the love and memories of the day!
To honor the amazing women in our congregation, flowers will be handed out to all ladies following the service. We’re grateful for the strength, grace, and faith you share with our community.
Happy Mother’s Day! We look forward to celebrating with you!
“Thank you so very much, Timothy Lutheran Blue Springs! We are so grateful for your partnership in helping ENCOURAGE so many people in their faith! WE are so excited that our counselors will arrive on May 23rd! It’s right around the corner! The beautiful spring is giving us such wonder and reasons to be grateful! May God bless & keep you!”
Pastor Rocco & Janine Mallardi
Hope to see you at Heit’s Point Outdoor Festival on June 7th.
Excitement is growing as the 2025 LCMS National Youth Gathering approaches this July! Sixteen youth from Timothy Lutheran Church will attend, joined by dedicated leaders Pastor Ryan Hochgrebe, Julie Storck, Ryan Kuecker, and Carrie Hochgrebe.
This past Sunday, the group came together for a service project, cleaning windows throughout the church as a heartfelt ‘thank you’ for the generous support they’ve received. Over the past three years, $36,000 was donated through First Fruits giving to help fund this life-changing experience for our youth.
The theme for the 2025 Gather is '“Endure,” based on the powerful words of Hebrews 12:1-3: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith…”
Please continue to keep our youth and leaders in your prayers as they prepare for this incredible journey of faith and fellowship.
The UCM Lutheran Student Center in Warrensburg is facing a sudden $24,000 expense due to a sewer pipe collapse on 04/15, which insurance won’t cover.

The University of Central Missouri Lutheran Student Center has been serving God for over 70 years, and they would love to make it to 80! This ministry is important. They have helped build the faith of many pastors, deaconesses, Lutheran school teachers, international students, newlyweds, and new Christians.
Please consider helping: Checks may be made out to “Lutheran Student Center” and mailed to 215 S. Holden St., Warrensburg, MO 64093, memo line “Sewer Repair” or on Venmo @LutheranStudentCenterUCM.

As the summer season approaches, 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.

Timothy Lutheran Church is excited to announce an open part-time position for a Children’s & Middle School Ministry Coordinator. We are prayerfully seeking someone with a heart for sharing the love of Jesus with children and middle school students, and eager to walk alongside families in their faith journeys.
This role offers a wonderful opportunity to make a lasting impact by coordinating engaging, Christ-centered activities that help our younger members grow in faith. From Sunday morning programming to midweek events and special gatherings, this position is all about building relationships, nurturing spiritual development, and bringing joy to the lives of children and their families.
We invite qualified candidates to prayerfully consider applying—and we encourage our Timothy family to share this opportunity with anyone who might be a great fit!
You’ve heard the phrase “covering all the bases”—now Timothy’s Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) is aiming to cover as many little bottoms as possible! From Mother’s Day (May 11) through Father’s Day (June 15), LWML will collect disposable diapers of all sizes to support local families in need.
All donated diapers will go to HappyBottoms, a Kansas City-area organization that partners with social service agencies and hospitals to ensure that babies from low-income families have consistent access to clean diapers.
As we look forward to the joy and fun of summer, we’re facing a challenge: we are very low on FaithRoots volunteers as we head into summer. With many of our regular volunteers away or taking a little break, your help is more important than ever.
It is important for us to pour into the lives of our kiddos here at Timothy as we continue to grow generation after generation of Christ followers. Please prayerfully consider your gifts and willingness to serve in this way. Without more volunteers, we won’t be able to continue this amazing opportunity for our kiddos to grow in faith each week in the same way. Also be assured we work with individual’s schedules.
If you’re willing to help, or even just want to learn more, please reach out to Pastor Ryan or stop by FaithRoots area on a Sunday morning.
Let’s work together to make this a meaningful, faith-filled summer for our kids.

Have you ever stood before someone who made you feel less than confident? Not because they put you down, but simply because of who they were. The people of God rightfully felt that way whenever they encountered the living God. As a matter of fact, at times they were downright terrified. Today, the Lord still calls us to come to Him, to step into His presence. But how can we do such a thing when we remain sin-stained, and God remains perfectly Holy?
Who is the greatest? It’s a debate in sports circles, artist circles, fashion circles, and beyond. Even within the Scriptures, these debates are found: is Moses the greatest or is Abraham, is the law the greatest, or is grace even greater? On Sundays through May 11th, we will walk together through the book of Hebrews in a series called “Greater is He.” This book is a letter written to the church in Israel as they struggled to grasp the fullness of God’s victory in Christ.
