A Note From Pastor Dinger:
|
|
|
|
|
Communication is difficult. In the book America’s Dumbest Criminals there is a story about a would-be robber in Thibodaux, Louisiana. Sam entered Bob's Cafe and, speaking in his thick Cajun accent, ordered the waitress to "give me all the money." Unfortunately, she couldn't understand a word he said. To her it sounded like he was ordering "a sieve with all the honey." In desperation, Sam turned to a patron and told him the same. Now, he could have sworn that Sam said to "live a big pile of bunny." Sam got so frustrated that he pulled out his gun, pulled the trigger. Click. The gun jammed. Now Sam grabbed the cash register and began to run. But he didn't get far, only about three feet. The register was still plugged into the wall, and it jerked out of Sam's hands, and he fell. Humiliated, he ran out of Bob's Cafe empty-handed.
Communication is difficult, but even under the best of circumstances it is problematic. How is your communication with God going? Do you have a “failure to communicate”? But even if we fail to talk to God, he is always talking to us in His Word and always ready to listen to you, and he never misunderstands for “the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with unexpressed groanings.” Romans 8:26.

Note from Brian
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your prayers. On Tuesday, February 12th, I had hernia surgery. There was a scary moment that I was made aware of as I recovered from the anesthesia. My heart had actually stopped beating and the doctors had to perform compressions to restart my heart. It is only by God’s pure grace and love, along with your prayers that I am here today. I also want to give a special thanks to Ed Ewertowski, for taking me to the hospital and spending so much time with me. I believe God truly blessed me that my fiancé was able to stay with me at the hospital that night.
Thank you again for all that Timothy stands for, and the love of God that shines through every one of you.
Sincerely, your brother in Christ, Brian Healy

Christmas Market
Due to 3 years of success, the Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas Market) Committee is excited to announce that proceeds were used to support the Food Pantry, Christ Care, Senior Youth Group, Tuition Aid, and the fund to replace the church van. The Market has thrived due to the commitment of Timothy's members and other volunteers. Timothy continues to provide opportunities for community outreach and most importantly to share the Gospel.
Thank you, Marla and Tiffan
