The congregation is invited to join us in celebrating our Lutheran Women in Mission (LWML) on LWML Sunday, as we recognize their faithful service to God and others. What a joy to celebrate these women on Reformation Sunday and give thanks for the many ways they help proclaim the saving message of Jesus Christ through their words and actions.

The mission of LWML is lived out through hands that serve, feet that go where needed, voices that share God’s praises, and hearts willing to follow His will. Through giving, serving, encouraging, and supporting those in need, these faithful women continue to share Christ’s love within our congregation, our community, and beyond. We give thanks to God for the women of LWML and pray that He will continue to strengthen, guide, and use them as they joyfully serve Him and share the hope we have in Christ.

Join us as we celebrate and thank God for our Lutheran Women in Mission!

Timothy Lutheran School is excited to host a Career Exploration Fair for our 7th and 8th grade students, and we need the help of our Timothy congregation and community!

We are looking for volunteers from a variety of careers, professions, trades, and area businesses who would be willing to host a table and share what they do. This is a wonderful opportunity to help our students learn about different career paths, ask questions, and discover the many possibilities God may have in store for their futures.

The Career Exploration Fair will be held Tuesday, November 3, from 1:30–2:30 pm at Timothy Lutheran School.

Whether you work in healthcare, education, technology, business, public service, a skilled trade, ministry, or another field, we would love to have you join us!

Thank you for investing in our students and helping them explore their God-given gifts, talents, and future opportunities!

Dr. Jerrode Marsh will perform a piano concert at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Concordia, MO on Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 3 p.m. in the sanctuary.

Please join us for a concert featuring classical piano music by Bach, Chopin, and others, as well as some arrangements of favorite hymns. A reception will follow. A free-will donation will be collected for music ministry. Watch for more concerts coming in a Celebration Concert Series.

Participants will also receive a booklet with over 30 daily readings for ongoing support.

Grab your friends and join us Friday, November 6 for a fun night of trivia, food, drinks, fellowship, and plenty of laughs!

Join us on Saturday, November 7, from 2:00-6:00 PM for an afternoon of service, fellowship, and fun! Bring family members to help too! We'll begin by helping some of our senior members with fall yard work, gathering leaves and lending a hand as we care for those in our Timothy family.

After the work is done, we'll return to church to relax and celebrate with a bonfire, food, and fellowship. It's a great opportunity to serve others, enjoy time together, and make a difference in our congregation and community.

Bring your rake, work gloves, and a willing heart. We look forward to serving alongside you! 🍂🔥

Throughout the month of October, Timothy Lutheran Ministries will be collecting donations to support Hillcrest, a ministry dedicated to helping individuals and families overcome homelessness and build a stronger future through housing, education, and supportive services.

To make giving easy, a donation cart will be available in the church lobby. Be sure to check the cart regularly for a list of Hillcrest's most needed items, as those needs may change throughout the month. Every donation, big or small, provides encouragement and practical assistance to those working toward stability and independence.

As we remain Rooted in Christ (Colossians 2:6-7), we are blessed to share His love through acts of compassion and service. Thank you for your generosity and for partnering with Hillcrest to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbors. Together, we can be Christ's hands and feet in our community.

Here is the list of specific items that are needed requested by the residents: full sized deodorants (male and female), face wash, toilet paper, paper towels, sugar, pasta sauce (spaghetti & Alfredo) and ranch dressing.

Thank you to everyone and God's blessings to all for the prayers, cards, visits and help with the move. It was magnificent!
