| | | | | Luke 3:41-52 presents a poignant snapshot of Jesus’ childhood, revealing a profound spiritual awareness far beyond His years in the midst of Jesus’ parents thinking He’s lost. At the tender age of twelve, Jesus exhibits a remarkable understanding of His divine purpose and a commitment to His Father’s will. This passage offers a unique glimpse into the formative years of the Messiah, challenging us to consider the depth of His early devotion and the implications for our spiritual development. As we delve into this passage, we are confronted with a compelling challenge: How can we cultivate a similar level of spiritual maturity and devotion to God in our own lives? How can we, like young Jesus, prioritize our spiritual growth and seek to fulfill God’s purposes as we leave some things behind? |

This special service will celebrate and commission our new executive board members, elected elders, school board, and commission leaders, affirming their dedication to serving the Lord and His church. |
|
|
As Paul reminds us in 1 Peter 4:10: "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms."
Let us come together as a church family to pray for and support those who have answered the call to lead. |

Thoughtful listener, genuine, smart, witty, joyful laugh;these are words that are consistently used to describe this week’s Timothy Lutheran staff spotlight, Jill Otte. She is the language arts teacher and one of the two 5th grade homeroom teachers for 5th grade.
Mrs. Otte has high expectations, but supports her students along the way, allowing them to achieve at a high academic level.
Her colleagues have this to say about her: “Jill provides thoughtful, interesting, and creative ways for students to learn and practice important skills. I appreciate her joyful laugh and dedication to her students.” “She genuinely cares for all of her students and wants them to not only be successful but ready for the next steps of their education.” “She has a contagious laugh, and it automatically sends a calm into the room.
|
|
|  | Her love of Jesus is evident in everything she does. One can tell she loves the students by just watching her interact with them.” “…students excel under her watch. She is an incredible listener, so when staff reach out to her, she takes the time to truly understand and offers valuable insight. We sure love having her here!
Here are thoughts from TLS students: "She makes spelling fun!" "I love her class. She makes learning fun." "Mrs. Otte always listens." "She's SO smart!""I love her laugh..."
Mrs. Otte personifies this passage in scripture: My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. James 1:19. Jill Otte is a great model of this character and a true Timothy Hero. We are, again, blessed. |

I want to express my sincere appreciation to my church family for all the prayers, cards, calls, and concerns for my husband, Bob, and myself during his hospitalizations and at the time of his death. We both felt the love. A special thank you to Pastor Ryan and Pastor Lieb for their prayers and their visits to the hospital. The Memorial Service was very comforting to our family. God bless all of you for your support and kindness. |
