As We Gather For Worship This Weekend

Hillcrest Transitional Housing Gala

 What a tremendous experience! Last night, 18 Timothy members joined over 400 others at Arrowhead Stadium for Hillcrest’s annual gala. As a Silver Sponsor, Timothy is the only church in this category annually committing $5,000 for the gala. In addition, Timothy is one of 25 churches sponsoring one of the Hillcrest apartments. Thank you, Timothy, for supporting this valuable ministry. To God Be the Glory!

Care Minister Nancy Nowiszewski offered the invocation last night, and a video featured Timothy member Dan Sbisa as he shared the success story of Jennifer, Timothy’s recent Hillcrest graduate.

Pictured above are Tom & Nancy Nowiszewski, Lois Warren, Cathy Althoff & Doug Spilker, Jon & Vicki Kraft, Barb Kalbfleisch, Mel & Koko Falk, Pam Lund, Steve & Janel Schild, Angie Jones, Dan & Pam Sbisa, and Daryl & Becky Fowler.

Attention Men: 
Join the JourneyMen 40-Day Red Letter Challenge
7-Week Study Coming Soon

Jesus-Centered:  Jesus is the greatest disciple-maker in the world. Putting His words into practice helps men discover the life God designed them to live. By staying focused on Jesus and the simple command to “hear and do” His words, we ensure a unifying experience for every man, beginning to end.

Practical Daily Challenges for Everyone:  All men 16 and older are personally invited to join the challenge. Our 40-Day Red Letter Challenge offers practical, clear, yet challenging next steps to help men of all ages and walks of life to grow their faith. Watch momentum, energy, and excitement build as we encourage and support one another in the pursuit to follow Jesus.

Discipleship Driven:  Christians can have good intentions all day long, but intentions without precise aim at exactly the One we are trying to like, Jesus, will always lead to unintended consequences. God has been gracious to all, and being compelled by that grace, we believe that following Jesus is the single greatest opportunity of our lifetime! By God’s grace and through our baptism, we begin each day new in Christ.

Mark your calendars: 7-Week Study starting Monday, Sept. 13, thru Monday, Oct. 25
