In Luke 5, the disciples experience nets so full they can hardly haul them in—and Psalm 65 reminds us that such abundance is always God’s doing. When a church is full, the nursery is buzzing, or the parking lot is overflowing, it isn’t something we’ve achieved; it’s something God has entrusted to us through His Word and Sacraments. Growth is His gift, not our accomplishment. Crowdedness isn’t a crisis—it’s a calling to steward the people God brings.
First Reading: Psalm 65:9-13 Gospel Reading: Luke 5:1-11 |

Growing Pains: When God Stretches His Church explores how seasons of growth—though sometimes uncomfortable—are signs of God’s gracious activity among His people. From overflowing boats and crowded rooms to tired leaders, expanding needs, and uncertain next steps, Scripture shows again and again that growth is never our achievement but God’s gift and invitation. In this series, we’ll discover how abundance calls us to stewardship, how shared ministry strengthens the body, how creative faith opens space for others, and how God equips His people with every gift needed for the mission. Ultimately, we’ll be reminded that the Church moves forward not by our strength or strategy, but by confidence in Christ, our unshakable foundation, who leads us into the future one faithful step at a time. |

If you’ve been on campus recently, you may have noticed a welcome improvement at Timothy Lutheran Church and School—the parking lot was freshly resealed on Memorial Day! This update not only enhances the appearance of our campus but also helps preserve the surface for years to come, ensuring a safer and smoother experience for everyone who visits. Projects like this don’t happen on their own. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Festival Committee for their generous donation toward the resealing. Your commitment to support Timothy’s facilities makes a meaningful difference and helps keep our campus in great condition. We also want to recognize and thank our congregation members who dedicated countless hours volunteering at the Timmy Burger booth to secure these funds for future projects. Your time, energy, and enthusiasm are what make efforts like this possible. From planning and organizing to working on the days of the event, your contributions truly reflect the spirit of community and service that defines Timothy. (Don’t forget to mark your calendars for September 18-20 for Fall Fun Fest this year.) Because of your support—both financial and hands-on—we are able to complete important projects that benefit everyone. Thank you for continuing to invest in our church and school. We couldn’t do it without you! |

As your calendars flip to May and the summer months, the Women of Hope leadership team invites Timothy's ladies to mark your calendars for a fun fellowship event again this year! The Powell Gardens Colonial Farms Music in the Gardens free concert series is back on Wednesday evenings from 6-8pm in the Courtyard. Join your sisters in Christ (and bring friends!) on June 17. Take in the live music in a relaxed, open‑air setting while enjoying fresh salads, sandwiches, desserts, and drinks available for purchase inside the garden area. The website (colonialfarmskc.org) indicates "seating is first-come, first-served, so come early and stay awhile" rather than signing up for the free tickets. Please RSVP by clicking on the link below by June 14 to give the team an idea of how many to expect. Contact Diane Mayfield (dianelmayfield@comcast.com) with questions. See you there! |
