A Note From DCE Mark: Hope for the Best, and the Worst
|
|
You may have heard the common saying, "hope for the best, plan for the worst." The idea is when you plan for the worst you will make it better or even survive a disaster that others may suffer. How difficult would it be to have a plan for every disaster? You cannot plan for what you do not know, and the variables are endless. The other implication is that hoping is an empty activity that will be found only in good fortune. Can we engage in preparations for best and worst case scenarios together?
I hate packing for trips. My mind goes crazy trying to figure out everything I will need. Ultimately I will always forget something, or bring some item that just takes up space and weight and never leave my luggage. My Dad was quite the opposite, not worried about things like luggage. One camping trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, he brought a backpack my mother packed for him that he never opened. Yes, we spent a week in the primitive and beautiful lake country of northern Minnesota and he did not take a thing out of his pack. He wore what he was going to wear, and cleaned himself and his clothes at the same time by taking a very cold jump in the lake with a bar of soap. All the family camping with him were so curious about what was in his pack when we all arrived home with this infamous piece of unopened luggage

It's that time again!! As the weather has turned colder, why  not turn on the oven and bake some cookies for our Cookie sale at the Christmas market! We have sold out the last two years, so I know shoppers really appreciate home-baked treats. If you bake early, simply freeze; cookies should be brought to church by Friday, 12/1. Questions? Call Cheryl O'Neill, 314-352-9309.

Advent by C
andlelight just around the corner!
Signup sheets
for Advent by Candlelight are in the narthex. In case you're not familiar with this tradition, the event is for the women of Timothy (scho
ol age and into retirement!). On
Sunday, December 3rd, the first Sunday of Advent, we will meet in the gym at 6:00 p.m. for dessert and a short devotional program. In the past, we have had women host tables of eight. The hostess brings her fancy Christmas dishes and decorates with items from home and, of course, candles! She also makes a dessert and provides a small, inexpensive memento (a bookmark, ornament or the like). This year, you will still be able to host a table, but we will also have many open tables which volunteers will "dress up"; we will also provide the dishes, dessert and favor. The signup sheet will have "OPEN" instead of a hostess' name. We will sing a few Christmas carols, enjoy a yummy dessert and hear a presentation by Noks Shabalala, a graduate student from South Africa studying at Concordia Seminary. We'll share more of Nok's topic in the next couple of weeks, but we wanted to be sure that you would put December 3rd on your calendars! Hope to see you then!
Questions? Please contact Jennifer Ebeling or Mary Anne Rall.
Gifting an appreciated asset to ministry is the best way for generous stewards to avoid capital gain tax liability and receive a full gift value deduction.

A Prayer for Veterans Day
Father, we could never thank our military men and women enough for their courageous service and sacrifice to our country and its people. Yet today we lift up our voices to express gratefulness and honor to these military troops both from the past and present. Show us ways in our communities, churches, and families to thank and love them better. Keep and protect these heroes and their families, in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.

Response to Lutheran Foundation's Matching Grant Challenge for Hurricane Relief Exceeds Expectations
When Hurricane Harvey made landfall on August 25th, it was clear that the damage would be extensive and the human need great. At Lutheran Foundation, we are blessed to have the financial capacity to step into that need.
With a desire to encourage giving from our Lutheran community and maximize impact, the Board voted to create a special, one-time matching fund of up to $400,000. Once Hurricanes Irma and Maria quickly followed suit, the magnitude of devastation became evident and they raised the maximum to $500,000.
Approximately 150 Lutheran congregations were invited to collect donations through the month of September, with a Lutheran Foundation match of up to $10,000 per church. Timothy's donations of $2,087 were given to the Texas District Disaster Relief.
The total of relief funds donated through this challenge is approximately $875,000!
 Thank You Steve Meyer Event - Nov. 19 at The Stellar Hog
As you likely have heard, Steve Meyer has stepped away from a volunteer leadership position in our Sr. Youth ministry after 10 years. A few weeks ago we presented Steve with a framed photo highlighting the impact of his ministry with statements of appreciation by those touched by his service. We have also planned another appreciate event for Sunday, November 19.
We invite current and former youth, their families, youth team members past and present, church leaders and anyone else to join us for food and fellowship. The event will take place at the Stellar Hog (5623 Leona St, 63116) from 3:00-6:00 p.m. Visit, share, retell, thank, laugh, smile and appreciate a decade of serving teens on youth gatherings, servant events, Bible classes, farm days, and more!
