| | | | | Christmas welcomes in the light of the world. He is here, there is no doubt about it. As the Christ candle shines brightly through the question is, do we see it? Or have we lost site of it already? Today we hear the story of a man named Simeon and a woman named Ann. These two saw what so many around them didn’t see. They saw the light of the world while others walked right on by. How can this be? And even more so how can we be sure we won’t miss it? |

| | Dear Timothy Lutheran Church Family, We are overjoyed to share that this year’s Journey to the Manger was an incredible success! Thanks to your generous hearts and steadfast support, every single item on the Giving Tree was purchased—a remarkable milestone we have not reached in many years. What a beautiful testament to the love and compassion flowing through our congregation. Truly, you have been a blessing to so many in need. This year, the Giving Tree gifts will benefit families identified by Hillcrest Transitional Housing and LUMA in Kansas City. In addition, we are excited to continue offering gift card tags to support the Community Services League (CSL). Your participation not only fills tangible needs but also brings hope and joy to individuals and families during this season of giving. |
|
| As we celebrate this achievement, let us reflect on the words of Jesus:
“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40
Your acts of kindness and generosity exemplify what it means to be the hands and feet of Christ in our community. Thank you for being a shining light and for helping us make this year’s Journey to the Manger a true blessing for all involved. With heartfelt gratitude,
Timothy Lutheran Ministries |

| | | Family Sunday: December 29th will be FAMILY SUNDAY. On our 5th Sundays throughout the year, we have been encouraging the entire congregation to worship together with one voice. So there will be NO Faith Roots on that Sunday. There will, however, be Epiphany activities to pick up in the sanctuary for our young some sermon notes for our slightly older little ones along with some coloring sheets. There will be some music in the service that our kids can participate in. This is a great opportunity to teach and lead our kids in what worship is all about. And just to ramp it up, there will be chocolate milk available! Come worship with us! |

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, January 8th, from 6:00-7:30 PM! This special evening is a chance for families to come together for:
A free meal and time to enjoy fellowship. Opportunities for kids to grow in faith and build friendships. A meaningful time for confirmands to continue their journey. A relaxed space for parents/guardians to dive into God’s Word.
|
|
|  | Oasis is all about creating a laid-back atmosphere where you can find renewal for your soul and reconnect with those around you.

As 2024 draws to a close, are you looking for ways to give generously while saving on taxes? If you own an IRA and must meet your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), consider making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). A QCD allows you to donate directly from your IRA to Timothy Lutheran Ministries or another qualified charity without counting it as taxable income. When your trustee sends the contribution directly to Timothy, you can experience tax savings while supporting the church’s mission.
The Bible reminds us: “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7, NIV). |
|
| | | It’s simple: contact your IRA trustee, request a direct contribution, and know your generosity is advancing God’s work here at Timothy.
Thank you for including Timothy in your prayers and plans. Your thoughtful giving helps grow His ministries and ensures we continue sharing His love. |

| | | December Donations Support the Community Services League
As the Christmas season approaches, Timothy Lutheran Ministries focuses on supporting the Community Services League (CSL) through our December donation drive. All month long, we invite you to join us in giving back to those in need. |
|
|
Donations can be placed in the grocery cart located in the church lobby, just to the right (east) of the south entry doors. Suggested donation lists are available in the cart to guide your contributions. Simply take a list, fill a grocery bag with items, and return it to the same location at your convenience throughout December.
Your generosity helps provide essential support to the Community Services League as they assist individuals and families in need during the holiday season.
Thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ through this vital ministry. Blessings to you and your family this Christmas! |
