Double the Impact. Double the Luv.

There are more than 153,000,000 orphans in the world today with an es�mated 250,000 adopted each year. This

means that over 99% will likely never be adopted into a loving home. This unfortunate reality is what drives Coreluv

Orphan Care to do something. You can bring the hope of Jesus Christ to orphans in Hai� and India and help provide

their 6 Basic Needs, by partnering financially with Coreluv Interna�onal. Find more informa�on at Coreluv.org.

This eighth May Match Coreluv is dreaming for....

A Special Needs Home - Help us dream for our special needs children. We are dreaming about our first (and perhaps

Hai�’s first) ever “Special Needs Children’s Village!” in Hai�. We know this is so close to God’s heart and can’t wait

to see how God begins to lay out the blueprint for our special needs children!

A girl's home in India - A loving home for at least 10 girls in India that we have iden�fied from our feeding centers

who are in desperate need of a loving home.

A Transi�on Program - A fully developed transi�on program to help our older children realize their dreams. There

are many moving parts, but with God’s help and your partnership, these dreams will become a reality.

Now that their kids are no longer worried about where their next meal, clean drink of water or place to sleep will

come from, they can dream of what they want to be, who they are becoming and who God wants them to be! Will

you help us make their dreams a reality? Will you con�nue to dream with us? Join us for May Match where every

dona�on you make it matched!

Do you knit or crochet…or would like to learn? St. Timothy has a Prayer Blanket ministry to bless people who are going through different struggles. These Prayer Blankets are given as a tangible reminder that Jesus is covering them with His love and tender care. They meet on Pit Stop Wednesdays from 6:45-7:45pm in the Gathering Area. Want to learn more? Contact Carrie Schamerhorn at cschamerhorn@att.net.

St. Timothy donates to several food pantries including Life Center for the Homeless, LINC,

and Trinity Lutheran Church. Your ongoing gifts of canned food and pantry staples bless

many people who are struggling on their own. Our food collection bin is located in the

hallway between the Life Center and Adult Education Building.

Art Ministry days will be on May 23rd and 24th 9:30am to 3:30pm. Bring your own art to work on or learn something new! Cards, bookmarks, and BoHo bracelets will be available for you to create.

Bring a lunch and stay for one or two days. Donations will go to the Haiti Mission trip. Contact Karen at Karenblake.art@gmail.com for more information.

Current Message Series - The Struggle Is Real In this fast paced, hectic life we all face "real struggles" that can overwhelm, challenge and even

overtake our lives. Join us as Jesus breathes fresh life into us to help us learn from God's Word how to address and overcome these struggles.

C u r r e n t S t u d i e s

Twisting the Truth: Common but deadly

deceptions impact us each day. Using the video

teaching of Andy Stanley, we will expose some of

the ways God’s truth gets twisted, arming

us with knowledge to refute the lies which

can destroy. Led by Pastor Steve and

Pastor Brad in RM 201.

Forgotten Faith Heroes: The Bible is full of accounts of people with commendable faith,

some well-known and others have remained

unsung heroes. This class will address how

lessons from their lives can be applied to our

faith walk today. Led by Gloria Ruppel in 101.

How God Has Gifted You: This study will look deeper into what Scripture says about the "what" and

"why" of spiritual girls and the importance they have in

our lives and the life of the church. Come with

questions and a desire to dig into your Bibles.

Led by Heather Harmann in RM 104.

I Believe: The word "creed" comes from the Latin

word, "credo," which means to make a declaration or

confession of one's beliefs. In this study, we'll examine

the history, content, and scandal of our ecumenical

creeds as we join Christians throughout the ages in

the confession, "I believe..." Led by Kevin Winoske in

RM 202. Kevin is a devoted student of Scripture

and the historic confessions of the church. He

attended Concordia University during his under-

grad and presently works for Texas Children's

Hospital at a medical research institute.

How to Read & Understand the New Testament

(continued) – Grow in your appreciation of the

accounts of Jesus’ ministry and the growth of the early

church by learning about the land, cities, and times of

the New Testament. Led by Paula Cline in 203.

Paula grew up on the mission field in Mexico

and returned to the U.S. to attend college.
