Not Quite Right – Palm Sunday

As the recovery comes to an end, Israel is certain they never want to go down a dark road again, so they commit and make vows to the Lord. But despite the miraculous recovery, they stumble and fall back into the same habits. It’s true that on this earth, we have never fully arrived and so we are waiting for more.

Palm Sunday

As we prepare to celebrate Palm Sunday this week, we have some exciting updates to share with you! This year, we’re thrilled to announce that we will be distributing palm branches to all attendees during our Palm Sunday service.

Date: March 24th

Celebrating Easter at Timothy

As you enter the auditorium on Easter Sunday, you’ll notice that the long Easter banners are hanging on the walls on either side of the stage. Thanks to Don and Gary for completing this process.

As Easter approaches, Timothy is excited to announce a new opportunity to enhance worshipers’ experience during this joyous season. Recognizing the parking challenges on busy church days, we are proud to introduce a convenient solution: a golf cart service to assist worshipers parking in the church lots or along either side of Lincoln Avenue. Please do not park any further west than 6th Street.

If our cart cannot be delivered by March 31st, our chosen vendor has promised a free loaner for Easter Sunday. We also thank Louie Wilbers for loaning his cart as a second vehicle for Easter Sunday. We are committed to enhancing the worship experience for our congregation and guests as well as providing a vehicle for staff to transport supplies to and from outdoor storage facilities rather than using their personal vehicles.

2024 Missouri District Lutheran Women’s Missionary League Convention

Independence, MO

Although Independence is known as the historic departure point for the California, Oregon, and Santa Fe Trails; this summer our paths will converge in Independence for another great LWML Missouri District  Convention, June 7-9, 2024. Every two years, members gather to carry out the business of the organization and spend time together in praise, worship, Bible study, fellowship and laughter. An LWML convention is open to all ladies of the LCMS and many husbands attend too. The Kansas City area offers many great family activities, so consider making this convention a fun destination for family as well. This year’s theme, “He will make your paths straight.” is based on Proverbs 3:5-6. For additional details and online registration information, be sure to visit our improved District website at https://www.missourilwml.org/conventions.
