Heart Disease

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.

Current Sermon Series

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.

Expressions of Thanks

Timothy Family,

Pat and I thank you for your visits, prayers, cards and concerns during my knee revision surgery and rehab. You have been a true blessing to us both.

Yours in Christ,

Charlie Bock

“I want to thank everyone for the kindness and support that I received for my April surgeries and recoveries. And the biggest thank you is for all of the prayers said for me. I know that they made a difference for me with God's healing power.” Georgia Redman

Congratulations to the Graduates

Dear Timothy Congregation,

The Senior Pastor Call Committee has been patiently waiting for a new candidate list, which arrived this week, from the MO District Office. The committee asks for your prayers as its work continues to find the man that God has already chosen as Timothy’s Senior Pastor. Please watch for future updates about this call process. We also ask that you keep Timothy and the candidates’ churches in your prayers as we seek God’s wisdom and guidance throughout this journey.

In His Service

Tary Krahenbuhl

Urgent Need for FaithRoots Volunteers This Summer

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.

A Greater Focus

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.

Current Sermon 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!”

New Bible Study Begins Sunday, May 18, at 10:30 am

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.

Happy Mother’s Day from the Gather Commission!

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.

Youth Serve in Gratitude for National Youth Gathering Support

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.

UCM Lutheran Student Center - Emergency Request

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.

A Greater Mediator

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?

A Greater Faith

Confirmation is a day in our church body when we celebrate the faith bound in some of our young people. We have been hearing their testimonies over the past months and today we hear the faith stories bound in some of the people of Scripture too. Each of the stories told can encourage and inspire us but none of them will lead us to our eternal home. So let us together with all the confirmands and all the saints set are eyes on Jesus today who will.

Come experience the Lord’s Prayer in a whole new way. On your journey, you will use all five of your senses to learn more about the prayer Jesus taught. There will be no physical guide along your path. How you experience each step along the way is up to you. However, there will be an M.A.P. of sorts for you to follow. At each of the nine stations, there will be three things for you to do: M – meditate, A – an activity, and P – Prayer.

The Prayer Journey will be open from 9 AM – 3 PM with timed entry slots available every 20 minutes. You are free to move at your own pace, either individually or as a family. All ages are welcome. Come and join us. You won’t regret it.

A Greater Priesthood

God graciously established the priesthood among the people of God to be their mediator. Despite the purification rights, the holy garments, and the holy rituals, their service was always tainted because they were sinful men. So, how can we be assured that God hears us, forgives us, and understands us? Join us as we encounter a greater high priest who just so happens to be a king also.

Packed food for those in need at Harvesters - The Community Food Network
Spent time with residents at Shangri-La Rehab and Living Center playing cards and coloring.

A Greater Maturity

We finally find ourselves at the heart of this letter. These words today challenge and call out a church who had become complacent in its faith. And while we think we are above that the truth is this is a constant struggle within the church. It’s a danger that every generation faces. So today we stop to reflect and listen. Today, we recognize it’s time to grow up in our faith.

Join us on Wednesdays

during Lent!

You are invited to join us in the Auditorium for Dining with Jesus, meals (6-6:30 pm) followed by worship (6:30-7:00 pm).

Why around a table? Because that’s where our Lord often did some of His most important ministry. As a matter of fact, throughout the Scriptures, we see meals as a beautiful place where God does some amazing stuff. This year we will spend our worship/study time exploring the sacrificial system of the Old Testament as found in Leviticus 1-6. Yes, we are serious, and while we won’t be bringing animals to be slaughtered, you will be interactively involved in the series in some simple ways. Intrigued? Good! I’m pretty sure you won’t want to miss it as we dine together, grow together, and set our eyes on the greatest sacrifice, our Lord and Savior’s death.

A Greater Obedience

Nobody loves to suffer. As a matter of fact, we spend a lot of money and energy trying to make our lives less difficult. And when suffering comes we have no problem voicing our dis-pleasures with God. But the author of Hebrew tells us that suffering has at least one purpose. What is it? Well join us and find out.

Staff Highlight Janie Wilson

For nearly eight years, Janie Wilson has faithfully served as the instrumental music teacher at Timothy Lutheran School, bringing passion, dedication, and excellence to the program. Her commitment to music education has not only strengthened the school’s offerings but has also enriched the lives of students and the entire school community.

When Janie first took on the role, the instrumental music program had just six members. Through her enthusiasm, expertise, and encouragement, it has grown tremendously. Today, the program has expanded to the point where two classes are needed to accommodate the increasing number of students. Looking ahead, enrollment is expected to exceed 30 students in the upcoming school year—a true testament to Janie’s ability to inspire young musicians and foster a love for music

Beyond her contributions in music, Janie plays a vital role in the Timothy Lutheran School family. She regularly shares the Word of God with students and colleagues, living out the school’s mission in both word and action. Her presence is a blessing, and the impact she continues to have on students is deeply valued.

As Timothy Lutheran School looks to the future, the community is grateful for Janie’s leadership and dedication. Her efforts have not only shaped a thriving music program but have also instilled a lifelong appreciation for music and faith in the hearts of many students.

Dear Timothy Lutheran Congregation,

We are overjoyed to share the incredible success of this year’s Aloha Nights, Timothy Lutheran School’s Annual Auction! With nearly 150 attendees, we raised an astounding $38,132.00 for the scholarship fund—an incredible reflection of the generosity and support of our sponsors and all who attended.

The evening was filled with joy, fellowship, and a shared commitment to investing in our students' education. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated scholarship committee leads—Brandi Erisman, Carrie Green, Clancy Heisel, and Katee Meyer—whose hard work and dedication made this event possible.

If you enjoyed this year’s auction, we invite you to join us again next year and bring a friend! Together, we can continue to make a lasting impact on the lives of our students.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and unwavering support!

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Amazing Timothy Family!

Did you worship on Sunday? Did you experience the joy ofbrass during Beautiful Savior? Did you hear the young voices of the Living WordMusic Tour students? Did you fill your house with the sound of girls giggling?Those were just a few wonderful experiences God placed in our lives this past weekend.

As a church body, we want to express our deepest gratitude for the support and kindness shown during the time Living Word was in Blue Springs. Our Timothy family welcomed them into their homes, helped with a Fellowship/ Worship evening and embraced them at both Sunday worship ervices. As Jan Koopman said, “You have exceeded our expectations.” Timothy made a remarkable difference, enhancing the music tour for these 24 young people.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything.

Pastor Ryan and the music Ministry Team.

A Greater Rest

Whether sleeping in, taking a vacation, or starting a new hobby, rest is good for our minds and bodies. But in the climate we live in, it seems we are always chasing it and rarely catching it. The Lord is well aware of this and wired rest into creation. But the issue is that we miss it, and we settle for something far less. So, join us as we “strive” to enter the Lord’s rest.

Staff highlight Gary Williams

Meet Gary Williams, our dedicated Facility Manager at Timothy Lutheran! For nearly 4.5 years, Gary has faithfully ensured our campus is well-maintained, safe, and welcoming. But his connection to Timothy goes back much further - he’s been a longtime member of our church family, actively serving in ministry with a heart for others.

Beyond his facility management role, Gary is also part of our Next Generation Committee, helping shape the further of our ministry. One of his favorite parts of the day is lunchtime with the kids! Whether handing out napkins or simply hearing a cheerful “Mr. Gary!” in the hallway, those little moments bring him joy and remind him why he loves serving here.

We are genuinely grateful for Gary’s hard work, kind spirit, and servant’s heart. Be sure to give him a big “thank you” next time you see him around!

Learn more about Blue Springs Rotary Club

Blue Springs Rotary hosts an annual coloring contest for students in the local schools. Each year has a different theme. This year's theme is "What Does Kindness Look Like to You?". Teachers select the students' artwork and post it to be voted on at $1 vote. All the money collected from the votes is distributed to the students with the most votes in their age group (K-2 and 3-5). The two winners split the money raised, and a check is donated to the school for art supplies.

This year, the K-2 winner was a student from a Grain Valley school. The 3-5 winner was Lydia Nicolaus, a 4^th grader at Timothy in Mrs. Kim Brunkhorst's class. Blue Springs Rotary presented a check to Mrs. Brunkhorst and Lydia to be used for art supplies. Congratulations to Lydia, and a special thanks to Mrs. Brunkhorst for making it a possibility!

A Greater Leader

Moses has always been “the guy” to any Jew. He rescued, led, and gave the law to the people. What he did during his earthly life was unmatched. The problem is we can get so caught up on Moses or another that we fail to see the greater one that God promised and God sent. Jesus does things Moses and the law could never do. So, let’s take a closer look.

New Resident in Timothy’s Hillcrest Apartment

Did you know that part of Timothy’s tithe ($5,000 annually) supports the operation of one of the apartments at Hillcrest Transitional Housing in Lee’s Summit? Timothy Hillcrest team volunteers clean and stock the apartment prior to the move-in date and then deliver a “welcome meal” which provides an opportunity to meet the resident and offer prayerful support. During the three-month stay in the apartment, the Hillcrest staff leads the resident/family to self-sufficiency on an “all need and no wants” budget.

Learn More About Hillcrest

Timothy’s current resident, Tracy, works full-time, Sunday through Wednesday, at Amazon. She has four children, but they do not currently live with her. Please keep Tracy in your prayers as she is working hard to pay off an eviction. If you would like to send cards of encouragement throughout her stay, please send to Hillcrest Transitional Housing, 501 SW Mission Rd., Apartment 307C, Lee’s Summit, MO 64063. Thank you for supporting Hillcrest by donating items for its food pantry and at Christmas when the family receives gifts through Timothy’s Journey to the Manger minsitry
