Worship service theme: Who Knows??
The people of Nineveh don’t simply carry on with their sin. They fear God and they pursue repentance and even make their animals participate. But they are left with a huge uncertainty...Does God care enough to relent? Who knows? Tonight, we find out what kind of God this is.
First Reading: Jonah 3:6-10 |

Revelation 1-3: “More Than Good Enough” There are seasons when settling feels safe—even necessary. But Lent invites us to ask deeper questions: Have we settled for “good enough” in our walk with Christ and in the life of the church? Have we grown comfortable with our strengths while ignoring the areas where we struggle or cling to sin? This Lenten series challenges us to move beyond complacency. Through the lens of Jesus’ messages to the seven churches in Revelation, we’ll hear His words of affirmation, correction, and encouragement. Each week, we’ll examine what it means to pursue Jesus wholeheartedly—not just in the areas we excel, but especially in the places we’ve settled. Let’s allow this season to stir us, refine us, and call us to a deeper, more faithful pursuit of Christ—one that refuses to settle for “good enough.” |

“Complacency: Death by Indifference”
Laodicea was comfortable but spiritually lukewarm. Jesus calls us to wholehearted devotion, accepting His gentle correction and walking with zeal as His followers. First Reading: Revelation 3:14-22 Gospel Reading: John 15:9-17 |

Thank you, Timothy family, for your faithful generosity. Whether you give in worship, by mail, or online, your gifts are a blessing and an important part of the ministry we share together. As we continue our focus on Revitalizing Relationships through Sacred Spaces, the GIVE Commission wants to share information about online giving—not as a replacement for traditional giving, but as another helpful option for those who may want to use it. Many members appreciate online giving because it is convenient, flexible, secure, and easy to manage. Recurring online gifts can also help Timothy plan ministry and outreach with greater confidence.
Interested in learning more? The GIVE Commission will offer personal assistance between the two morning services this Sunday, March 15 and Sunday, March 22. We’ll be happy to answer questions and provide one-on-one setup help. If you would like assistance, please bring your phone and any login/password information you normally use. Thank you for your generosity, trust, and partnership in Timothy’s mission as we continue to gather, grow, give, and go in Jesus’ name. |

This February, our homebound members were reminded once again just how deeply they are loved by their church family. This Valentine’s season brought an outpouring of love, creativity, and connection to our homebound members—all thanks to the beautiful partnership between our Care Ministry, our amazing youth, and the elders. The Care Ministry prepared the Valentine goodie bags, each one filled with treats that brightened the day of every recipient. Many of our homebound members shared how deeply touched they were by the surprise and how meaningful it felt to be remembered in such a special way. One of the biggest hits of the delivery? The cozy tied fleece hats lovingly crafted by our youth. Each hat, tied by hand, was unique—colorful, soft, and made with care. Our homebound members didn’t just appreciate them… they had fun with them! The elders were able to capture photos of a few members modeling their new hats with big smiles. The hats warmed more than their heads—they warmed their hearts. The cards, filled with cheerful drawings and uplifting messages, were treasured just as much. The collaboration between our youth and Care Ministry beautifully demonstrated what happens when different parts of the church come together in service: love multiplies, connections strengthen, and God’s joy shines through. This year’s Valentine outreach didn’t just deliver gifts—it delivered warmth, community, and the reminder that no one in our congregation is forgotten. |
