| | | | | The heart, like anything else in our body, is a tricky thing. We can be doing all the “right” things, and everything on the outside can look fine, but that doesn’t mean our heart is functioning the way it should be. The same is true for our spiritual heart. And Jesus declares today the importance of monitoring our heart by seeing what it is producing. Maybe it’s time to take the test and see where we are at. |
| | Current Sermon Series
The heart is vital for life. Once your heartbeat stops, life ceases to exist. The Scriptures speak of the heart often, although it isn’t simply the muscle that pumps blood through the body. The “heart” symbolizes the inner person, the source of thoughts, emotions, desires, and will of one’s life. Over the next 5 weeks, we will wrestle with what the Scriptures reveal about our hearts and how God engages and redeems our hearts. Yep, it’s time to do some “Heartwork,” so join us starting May 18th. |

| | Rejoicing in New Life: Celebrating Twelve Baptisms at Timothy
This past year, our church and school community rejoiced together as twelve individuals connected to Timothy Lutheran received the gift of baptism. Each baptism is a powerful reminder of God’s grace at work—calling, claiming, and covering these souls with His everlasting love. We joyfully celebrate the baptisms of Aurora, James (former Pre-K student), and Olivia Carper, along with their mother, Rachel Carper; Charlotte Green (7th grade student, daughter of Steve and Carrie Green); Charlotte Helmich (5th grade student, daughter of Brandon and Jennifer Helmich); Miles Mattoon (son of Tyler and Katie Mattoon); Keziah Montgomery (daughter of Jeremy and Guin Montgomery); Kayden and Raena Myers (children of Thomas and Micaela Myers); Cooper Saylor (son of Aaron and Jennifer Saylor) and Lucas Tierney (3rd grade student, son of Andrew and Kristina Tierney).
|
|
|
| These baptisms reflect the Holy Spirit at work in our midst. We lift these families in prayer and rejoice in their continued walk with Jesus. To God be the glory |

Faith, Family & Fatherhood Bible Study
First Gathering: Thursday, June 6 | 7:00–9:00 PM 1528 SW 41st Street, Lee’s Summit, MO 64082
Faith, Family & Fatherhood is a space for dads to grow in faith, build brotherhood, and support one another through the highs and lows of fatherhood. Whether it’s the daily grind or sacred milestones, you don’t have to walk it alone.
Guided by Proverbs 22:6 "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it." If you’re a dad looking for biblical encouragement, real connection, and a community that gets it—this is for you. We’ll meet the first Friday of every month moving forward. Let’s walk this road of fatherhood together—with faith, family, and purpose. |

| | MISSOURI DISTRICT NEWS:
More than 40 years ago, the Missouri District established an endowment to provide scholarships for university and seminary students from our state who were preparing for professional church work vocations. This school year, that same fund provided aid to 62 students. Praise God! As we prepare for our upcoming convention, congregations will be praying for the proceedings and taking a special offering on June 1 to help strengthen the Missouri District’s scholarship endowment. Our convention theme—"Bold Hope in Christ"—is a fitting reminder of how we can confidently work together in His kingdom for His glory. Thank you for your support!

You’ve heard the phrase “covering all the bases”—now Timothy’s Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) is aiming to cover as many little bottoms as possible! From Mother’s Day (May 11) through Father’s Day (June 15), LWML will collect disposable diapers of all sizes to support local families in need.
All donated diapers will go to HappyBottoms, a Kansas City-area organization that partners with social service agencies and hospitals to ensure that babies from low-income families have consistent access to clean diapers.
Help us make a difference, one diaper at a time! |

| | Urgent Need for FaithRoots Volunteers This Summer
As we look forward to the joy and fun of summer, we’re facing a challenge: we are very low on FaithRoots volunteers as we head into summer. With many of our regular volunteers away or taking a little break, your help is more important than ever.
It is important for us to pour into the lives of our kiddos here at Timothy as we continue to grow generation after generation of Christ followers. Please prayerfully consider your gifts and willingness to serve in this way. Without more volunteers, we won’t be able to continue this amazing opportunity for our kiddos to grow in faith each week in the same way. Also be assured we work with individual’s schedules. |
|
|
| If you’re willing to help, or even just want to learn more, please reach out to Pastor Ryan or stop by FaithRoots area on a Sunday morning. Let’s work together to make this a meaningful, faith-filled summer for our kids. |

| | | International Guest Joins Timmy Boys Breakfast
The Timmy Boys breakfast bunch at Timothy Lutheran Church enjoyed a special international flair at their recent gathering. Joining the group was Mike Johnson, visiting all the way from New Zealand. Mike is the father-in-law of Maria Spilker, daughter of longtime members Doug and Cathy Spilker.
The group welcomed Mike with warm hospitality and lively conversation over breakfast, making the morning extra memorable with this unique connection from across the globe. It was a wonderful reminder of how faith and fellowship bring people together—no matter the distance. |
