| | | | | | Every day, it is estimated that there are over 8,000 GoFundMe pages set up so people can GIVE to a certain cause. There is certainly no shortage of places to give our money. But we also know the world is filled with requests to give our time, and energy also. And the church is one of those places. As people of God, we know giving matters and we know hen we attend church at Timothy we are going to hear about it. But what if we hear about it in a different way. Join us as we worship and wrestle with what means to GIVE. |

| | | The church in Scriptures is described as the “bride of Christ.” As we gather as Timothy Lutheran Church and School, the question is, do we look like Christ’s bride? And the answer is probably “not always.” So, how does Timothy Lutheran Ministries pursue the identity God has given to us? Well, throughout our history here in Blue Springs, we have sought to stay grounded in that identity by rallying around a vision. That vision is to “transform lives through Christ.” Through August 31, we are going to come back to that vision grounded in biblical truths and refresh our hearts and minds to the calling and commitment we must walk as Christ's bride, right where He put us. |

In anticipation of the upcoming Red Sea Rules Bible study, set to launch on Tuesday, August 12th at 6:30 a.m. at Timothy, the Tuesday Morning Men’s Bible Study group gathered this week at The Royal Biscuit. Over steaming cups of coffee, a hearty breakfast, and great conversation, the men enjoyed a time of fellowship and spiritual connection. |
|
|
| This gathering served as a warm kickoff to the new study, which promises to offer powerful insights and encouragement drawn from the story of the Israelites at the Red Sea. All men are invited to join the study, starting August 12th—come early, bring a Bible, and be ready for meaningful discussion and community. |

The Call Committee was busy with weekly zoom interviews with Senior Pastor candidates on Tuesday evening in July. Each of these interviews has been insightful and fruitful as we seek to discern God’s Will in finding the man He has already chosen as Timothy’s next Senior Pastor. Second interviews with a select group of the candidates will be scheduled for August. While it has been a very busy summer at Timothy and for the all Committee’s and candidates’ personal schedules, we remain diligent throughout the process and are pleased with progress so far. A goal is to send a slate of candidates for congregational review and vote in September. |
|
|
| Please continue to keep the Divine Call process, Timothy’s Call committee, Timothy church, and the senior pastor candidates and their churches in your prayers. May God’s Will be done.
In Him, Tary Krahenbuhl Call Committee Chair |

| | | Another school year is quickly approaching, and the Blue Springs Churches want to invite you to join us for a simple yet important evening of prayer over all our schools throughout the area. All are welcome to meet us this Sunday, August 10, at 6:00 pm at the Harvest Baptist Church parking lot (the former Timothy Lutheran RD Mize Campus: 425 NW R D Mize Rd). There will be an opening prayer there, and then we will disperse to whatever school you want to join others in praying over throughout the area. It’s an amazing opportunity to gather as the greater church and pray for our teachers, schools, administrators, and more as the 25-26 school year begins. If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Ryan. |

So, when you drop by the center to donate at your convenience, feel free to credit Timothy with your donation, as it is a wonderful way to reach into the community to save lives. If you donated at the Adam's Army Blood Drive on June 7, you are now eligible to donate again. Register online at savealifenow.org or call 1-877-753.4040 to set up an appointment, or walk-ins are welcome also. |
