As We Gather for Worship This Weekend
“Prayers of the Saints: Jeremiah’s Prayer”

: Sometimes life just gets to be too much for us. Like the prophet Jeremiah, we may feel like it’s all too much and we may not be sure how to express that frustration to God. But Jeremiah gives us the example and the key of how we can go through that pain and anguish in a way that remains faithful to God.

“The Gifts Waiting in Your Coldest Winter“

 “If you choose not to find joy in the cold, you will have less joy in your life but still the same amount of cold.” So for two minutes, on this frigid morning, I stood outside and beheld

Livestreaming Wyatt Service

Over the past few weeks, the livestreaming function of the Wyatt service has experienced some challenges. Timothy thanks Rod Brehm for his expertise and passion to convert the 10am service to YouTube. After much research and experimentation, Rod believes the service will be successfully available through the following channel link:  www.YouTube.com/TimothyLutheranMinistries
Please understand that it may not be perfect this Sunday, so we ask your patience as a learning curve may occur for a while. Thank you, Rod, for your perseverance and willingness to make this happen for Timothy!

Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I set you apart. Jeremiah 1:5

Is your family growing? Or do you know someone whose family is growing? Timothy’s LWML Elizabeth Circle organizes the Baby STEPs ministry which supports and celebrates the new life with which God blesses our Timothy families.
Volunteers offer personal contact through phone calls, cards, and prayers. The homecoming of a new infant is also celebrated with a home visit and meals provided by “Meals for Moms” volunteers. Each Timothy baby receives a new pair of white booties, handmade by a volunteer, as a keepsake from the church, symbolizing being washed clean and made God’s child at baptism.
If you would like to be a Baby STEPs recipient or volunteer, please contact Kaye Gray at 816.585.6530 or kgray1024@gmail.com.

Tired of the winter blahs? Love to play 10-Point Pitch?  Make plans to attend the revival of Timothy’s Card Club on Friday, Feb. 10, at 7pm in the RD Mize Fellowship Hall. You can look forward to lots of fun and fellowship. Please bring a snack to share and a drink. For more information, please contact Art MacLean (660-641-1974).

Although we do not like to think about the risk of violent acts or emergency situations occurring within the church walls, preparation for them is essential. Timothy’s leadership is committed to forming a Church Safety & Security Team to better provide an atmosphere of comfort, refuge, worship, and learning for those that enter our church walls and church events, recognizing the value of its people and facilities and embracing their safety and security.
No church should assume that “it will not happen here” as that attitude contradicts what Matthew says in Chapter 10, verse 16: “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore, be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.”
If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about this new team please contact Team Leader Don McGhee (donm@timothylutheran.com) or Diane Mayfield (dianem@timothylutheran.com). Those with background experience or special interest in the medical field, military, facility or property management, human resources, law, law enforcement, insurance, and safety/security protocols are urged to step forward to share their interest and expertise. Thank you!

LUMAA met for their January meeting at Ascension Lutheran Church.  Shelia Rancatore from Cornerstones of Care shared how the organization serves as an umbrella with groups we are familiar with:  Ozanam, Merilac, Gillis and Swaffort, and over 35 more groups Missouri wide.  These groups work with children including those going into foster care.  These children often come to them with nothing , which prompted LUMMA  to gather supplies, including hygiene items, personal items, diaries, books, blankets, toys, games, cosmetics, pens and markers, stuffed animals, and many more.  The LUMAA members’ churches, including Timothy’s LWML, were very generous!  As a hands-on community outreach project at the meeting, twelve duffle bags for
children of all ages, were filled and delivered to Gillis Home, whose staff there was very excited and thankful to receive them.
