Preparation for the Journey

Before you begin any journey, it’s important to prep. As we embark on this walk with Jesus throughout the summer here at Timothy, we also need to prepare ourselves to listen, watch, and reflect on what He will share with us. In order to do that, we are going to turn to a man who was called to prepare us.  His name is John, and his tactics seem a little rough, with his call to repentance, but perhaps that is exactly what we need.

Walk with Jesus!

Do you yearn for a deeper connection with God?

This sentiment of “I can’t live without you!” often reflects our deepest longings. But there’s only One we truly cannot live without: our Lord, Jesus Christ.

This spring, we dined with Jesus through Lent and Easter. Now, we continue our journey with a brand new sermon series: Walk with Jesus!

Starting, this Sunday,, we’ll delve into the Gospel of Luke, following Jesus’ footsteps. We’ll see Him teaching along the road, answering questions, and transforming moments into powerful lessons.

Just as the disciples walked with Jesus, we too can journey with Him. Through this series, we’ll discover new truths, deepen our faith, and draw closer to God.

If you desire more of Jesus, join us! Let’s walk with Him each week and experience the transformative power of His presence.

RESOURCE HEALTH IS FUELING FAMILIES

Resource Health pregnancy resource center gives nearly 5,000 QT gas cards yearly to every person who walks through the door, to enable them to return for needed assistance and education.  Look for the big red gas cans on the table in the narthex on Sunday, June 16, 23, and 30, and help fill the cans with $10 QT gas cards, cash, or checks, payable to Resource Health.  100% of your gifts will go towards assisting the families of those served by RH.  Visit www.resourcehealthpartners.org to learn more about this faith-based organization (which Timothy supports with its tithes).

Call Committee Senior Pastor Congregational Survey

Timothy’s Call Committee urges the congregation, ages 14 & up, to complete the Congregational Survey for Timothy’s next Senior Pastor between 12:01am Sunday, June 9, and 11:59pm Sunday, June 30. Your voice matters!

Even though the survey will be “live” starting at 12:01am this Sunday, the only opportunity to complete it this Sunday will be by either clicking on the QR code on the bulletin insert when you come for worship or by completing the survey at the table in the lobby, where you will find Call Committee members with tablets to assist you. On Monday morning, June 10, a congregational email, containing the link to complete the survey online, will distribute to all members with accurate email addresses on file at Timothy. A few print copies of the survey will be available at the table in the lobby, to be placed in the Survey Collection Box when completed, by June 30 at the latest, because all print surveys will be manually posted to SurveyMonkey by Call Committee members. All responses, regardless of method of completion, will remain anonymous.

For the rest of the month, worshipers will find an insert with the QR code in each Sunday bulletin as well as a table in the lobby, manned by Call Committee members to help worshipers. The link will NOT be directly available in Timothy Connects, church website, or social media formats. If you have questions, please contact Call Committee Chair Tary Krahenbuhl (816.890.0941).

The MO District personnel will gather and record all data from SurveyMonkey. In July, results of the survey will be delivered to the Call Committee, after which the Call Committee will share with the congregation. The purposes of the survey are to assist in preparing an updated position description for Timothy’s next Senior Pastor as well as to serve as information potential Senior Pastor candidates can use to learn about Timothy’s congregation.

Please continue to keep this divine call process and the Call Committee in your prayers as we seek God’s Will in welcoming another shepherd to Timothy. Thank you!

Senior High Graduates 

Back on May 26^th we celebrated our graduating seniors who were connected to our congregation. Unfortunately, a mistake was made, and we missed Gretchen Elaine Freeman and Emma Louise Freeman. So we wanted to take a moment and celebrate these 2 young ladies and all their accomplishments, especially as graduates of Blue Springs South High School.  Both were baptized and confirmed here at Timothy. Gretchen plans to attend MCC and play softball on a scholarship to study Radiology. Emma plans to attend MCC, as well, on a scholarship to study Occupational Therapy. Congrats to these 2 young ladies, and we pray the Lord would continue to draw them to Himself as He leads them forward in life.

Plan to attend the 9 am Bible Study on June 30th to learn and be encouraged about her ministry.  And if you would be willing to host Barb in your home on June 29^th for the night, please contact Sandy Gregory ASAP.
