There's a little song that goes:
"The foot bone's connected to the ankle bone.
The ankle bone's connected to the leg bone.
The leg bone's connected to the knee bone.
Now hear the Word of the Lord!"
That song is a take on Ezekiel 37. Ezekiel was one of the Jews living in exile in Babylon. And when they heard that the Temple in Jerusalem had been destroyed, they knew they were a dead people. They even called themselves "Dry Bones!" Dry Bones that were wasting away in the sun. Dry Bones that didn't have a shred of hope. Dry Bones that were beyond a miraculous cure. And when God tells Ezekiel one day to preach to a bunch of Dry Bones, he says to God: You've got to be kidding! I mean, you’ve had me do some strange things as a prophet for you, Lord; but let's be realistic! Dry Bones are dead! You can't squeeze blood out of a rock, and you can't make Dry Bones live!
But God is amazing that way! He did make those dry bones live again, and He makes our Dry Bones, dead from sin, live a new life - today and into eternity!

ENJOY THE CONVENIENCE OF ELECTRONIC GIVING
We want to remind you that Timothy offers electronic giving as a way to automate your regular weekly offering. Electronic giving offers convenience for you and provides much needed donation consistency for our congregation.
You will no longer need to write out 52 checks a year or prepare 52 envelopes. And, when travel, illness or other circumstances prevent you from attending services, e-giving will allow your weekly offerings to continue on an uninterrupted basis.
As you prayerfully plan your future contributions, please consider electronic giving by:
2. Click on the Online Giving button,
3. Click on the Create Profile button, then
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to create an online profile and to schedule your recurring contributions.
