God is Making All Things New!
The Hope we find in Jesus Christ’s life, death and resurrection is brought to the forefront with Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Easter Services. We re-enter into the stories of our faith once again or maybe for the first time to reveal who God is. We have the opportunity to discover a deeper connection between our suffering and God’s suffering, our grief and God’s grief. Ultimately we have an opportunity to discover God’s all encompassing love in Jesus Christ.
Jesus enters into our messy, painful worlds. When welcomed he can and will transform hopeless situations and emotions bringing hope and new beginnings.
“He is making all things new…”
That is surely true at St. Timothy’s! From new Air Conditioners for the Sanctuary, to new faith in two little girl’s hearts, to new revelations and the comfort we are not alone in our grief, trials and tribulations! Praise be to God for His grace-gift of Jesus Christ!
I hope you will enter into the stories of our faith once again this Sunday to next. Together we are richer and so very blessed! 🥰
Thank you to our donors, Steve Freemen and Mark Lehnhoff for your tenacious work with replacing the a/c and electrical issues. Thank you to the Arm and Altar Guild and all the many volunteers for helping make ready for those who will come seeking hope and a new beginning in God through Christ! I appreciate you!
With fondness and faith,
Pastor Robin+
The Rev. Robin Reeves Kautz

SIGNS OF HOPE & NEW LIFE... Baptisms Abound
Baptism is for ALL ages. It marks a new beginning. For adults, it is a public surrender to follow Jesus' way of love. For older kids it is a choice to say, "I need Jesus and I need help to learn His way." For babies and young children, their parents present their children for baptism into God’s love and life. We believe they are marked as Christ’s own forever, sealed by the Holy Spirit. We along with the parents and God parents pledge to teach them the way of Jesus love. When they are old enough they can confirm this choice for themselves at confirmation.
Join us on Sunday mornings in between services, 9:30 - 10:15 in the Youth Hall. For parents with children to be baptized, we will have childcare at that time.
Baptisms are traditionally on Easter Sunday, (April 20) or when a bishop comes - May 25. Some other dates are available - May 18 and June 22.
If you can't make it, text Pastor Robin for an appointment.
