Mr. Pelt & MS Small Groups

HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL
Thursday: Mr Pelt spoke! His talk was based on the book of Jonah, the reluctant prophet. He told us a bit of his own journey through school and various jobs that finally led to band director at Timothy. Mr. Pelt encouraged students to follow God's leading, take steps of faith, and trust that God works all things for good.
*Also, there is a photo below from the previous week from our prayer chapel.
MIDDLE SCHOOL CHAPEL
Chapel with a different twist today! All students got into small groups based on their grade and birth month. So we ended up with 24 groups. Then they answered questions. What was the most fun in 6th grade (for the 7th graders) or most fun at the retreat (for the 8th graders). Then the questions became more serious: what is your biggest worry, greatest temptation to sin and how are students hurt the most relationally? We will use the answers to help inform future chapels.

Pechanio, Prayer, Quist

HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL
See the video for some of our special guests leading in song in chapel.

Tuesday: Matthew Pechanio and Sarah Schreiner from Church of the Ascension. Sarah led in worship with piano and voice. We sang Oceans and Holy is the Lord. Pastor Pechanio, a former TC Bible teacher, spoke on partnership from Philippians 1. True partners are more than friends. They are with you during the tight times, they help were you need it, and they are always rooting for you. 

Thursday: Our first prayer chapel of the year. Students led prayers of worship and for numerous areas of the world and the Timothy community. We spent time in quiet reflection and prayer. Students were invited to write down prayer requests on our Prayer Wall. Alex Z. played the piano. Mrs. Favela, along with Mr. Pelt, led us in singing How Great is Our God.

MIDDLE SCHOOL CHAPEL
Our speaker was Dan Quist, TC’s director of admissions & student recruitment. In order to emphasize the chapel theme of “standing firm”, he began by singing the children’s song, Don’t Build Your House on the Sandy Land. Mr. Quist explained several Bible stories that illustrated standing firm. He also shared from his own life about the importance of standing firm for Jesus. Tim Lundeen led us in a new and soulful version of This Little Light of Mine.

Next Week
High School Thursday: Mr. Pelt
Middle School: 8th graders only

Phil Zielke, Small Groups, Stand Firm

HIGH SCHOOL CHAPELS
Tuesday: Phil Zielke shared about God's sovereign work in his life. He went from a healthy, strong athlete with specific plans about his future to dying of cancer and no plans. As he humbled himself before God, new plans formed. God led him through the long trial with cancer into a new direction. He founded Phil's Friends, a ministry that supports cancer patients in Christ's name. For more information (and opportunities to serve!) click this link: www.philsfriends.org.
Thursday: Small groups. Our first school-wide small group chapel. Like last year, all students are divided into small groups according to grade and gender with two student-leaders & a teacher. After a couple of ice-breaker questions, Proverbs 2:6-10 was read and discussed. We all need more of God's wisdom in our lives!

MIDDLE SCHOOL CHAPEL
Our new song leader, Tim Lundeen (TC class of '99), led us in singing Blessed Be Your Name, Lay Me Down and Arms Open Wide. Mr. Wiener then directed a skit with students based on Matthew 7:24-27. We need to build our house on the rock of Jesus Christ, not the sand of this world.
NEXT WEEK
High School, Tuesday: Matt & Sarah; Thursday: Prayer
Middle School, Wednesday: Dan Quist
