As We Gather For Worship This Weekend

– Discovery Class –
Refer A Family Member or Friend

We all know someone who is lost and needs to hear the Good News of Jesus as our Savior. The first steps can be the most difficult. God calls each of us to, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20).
Perhaps you know someone who needs to experience God’s love? Take a moment to pray about this person(s) and consider filling out a referral card. We have a team of people ready and willing to reach out and invite them to the upcoming Discovery Class. You can make the difference in a person’s life by helping someone take the first step in following God’s desire to save all.
Please pray and consider filling out the referral information at this link: www.TimothyLutheran.com/Discovery-Class/
Join me in prayer:
Holy Father, we pray that by the power of the Holy Spirit You will bless the Word that will be proclaimed in the approaching adult membership class starting on September 8th. In Your boundless love for the world, You sent Your only Son as Savior. Bless our efforts to reach out to the men and women in our community and give them willing hearts to hear Your Word. Amen.

COVID Update

Following recent CDC guidelines, Timothy’s staff and leadership recommend that both vaccinated and unvaccinated people wear masks while inside Timothy’s facilities. There will be masks available at both Information Centers for those who wish to pick one up. Thank you for your cooperation and please be safe.

Thank You, Otis Turner

Timothy wishes God’s blessings to Communication Services Otis Turner as he begins retirement today. His service to Timothy over the past 16 years has often gone unnoticed due a large amount of behind-the-scenes work to produce communication pieces, such as worship bulletins, funeral bulletins, power point slides for worship, computer issues, newsletters, bulk mailings, to name just a few. Thank you, Otis, and we pray your retirement adventures will be blessed. Pictured below is the Turner family, L-R: daughter Caroline, son Matthew, wife Pat, grandson Bennett, and Otis.

Next Generation Update

Members of the Construction Task Force and church leaders met with Mantel Teter Architects President David Evans and Project Manager Skyler Phelps earlier this week to review preliminary drawings and needs prepared by church leaders.  The architects will return on Aug. 17 to share site plan options for review. Please continue to keep the Next Generation process in your prayers
