Tonight, we hear Christ’s tender yet urgent call to return to our “first love.” In Revelation 2:1–7, Jesus reminds His church that love for Him and love for one another is the heart of discipleship. Join us as we reflect on the love that kneels to wash feet, breaks bread for sinners, and never let’s go.

| | | | Lesson: The Severed Ear (Luke 22:47–52) Life can get hectic, and we all need moments to pause, reconnect, and recharge. That’s why we’re excited to invite you to the next Oasis Family Night on Wednesday, April 8, from 6:00–7:30 PM! This month, our Bible focus will be the powerful moment in Luke 22:47–52, where Jesus heals the servant’s severed ear even amid chaos and betrayal. It’s a striking reminder of His compassion, His refusal to meet violence with violence, and His unwavering commitment to bring healing and restoration—even in the darkest moments. Families will explore this story together as we discover what it means to follow Jesus’ example of grace, peace, and love when life feels tense or overwhelming. Oasis is all about creating a laid back environment where you can find renewal for your soul and reconnect with one another in the middle of a busy week. RSVP today! Click the “Register Here” button or visit our website to sign up so we can plan for food.
We can’t wait to share this evening of faith, fellowship, and renewal with you! |

Alec and Natalie share a passion for creating Christ-centered spaces where people feel welcomed, supported, and encouraged. As parents to their daughter, Aurora, they value cultivating a home centered on faith—but their vision for this group reaches far beyond families with young children. Their desire is to bring together individuals from all walks of life who are seeking connection and spiritual growth.
They believe that faith grows best within authentic community—where people can ask honest questions, share real-life struggles, celebrate victories, and pray for one another. Whether you are single, married, raising children, or navigating a new season of life, this group is designed to be a place where you belong.
Alec brings steady leadership and a heart for helping others live with purpose, while Natalie’s natural gift for hospitality and building relationships helps people feel comfortable and truly seen. Together, they hope to cultivate a group atmosphere marked by grace, encouragement, and spiritual growth for both adults and children.
If you’re looking for connection, community, and a place to grow in your faith, consider joining Alec and Natalie’s small group this season. |

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of representing Timothy at a workday with Truman Heritage Habitat for Humanity. Our team gathered at the future home located at 1523 Appleton Avenue in the Englewood area of Independence, where we completed the important first step of installing the floor joists—the very first pieces of lumber placed on this new house. The attached photo captures the seven volunteers who served together that day. It was truly a blessing to work alongside such a capable and dedicated group. Most were experienced carpenters, joined by two staff members from Truman Heritage Habitat for Humanity who organized and guided the building day with skill and encouragement. I am grateful for each volunteer who offered not only their labor, but their spirit of generosity and teamwork. Praise God for these willing and gracious servants, whose efforts will help create a safe and stable home for a family in need. — Gary Flandermeyer |

On March 29, members of the Faith, Family, and Fatherhood Bible Study Group (Young Fathers) had the opportunity to put their faith into action by serving at Our Redeemer in Kansas City. Through their time and efforts, these young fathers shared Christ’s love in practical ways while strengthening their bonds with one another. This act of service reflects the heart of the group’s mission—to grow as Christ‑centered leaders in their homes, churches, and communities. It was a meaningful day of fellowship, service, and living out faith together, and we give thanks for their willingness to serve and represent Timothy Lutheran so well. |
