News & Updates
The Abraham Project
Greetings from TAP 6.0!  We are one month in to our year and wanted to take some time to share a bit of our experience with you.  Please join us  Wednesday  night, 9/21, during dinner and we'll have more time to hang out.  Until then, allow me to reintroduce us...

Emily Hall joined us from East Tennessee by way of Berea College.  She's working at Brenner Fit and is joy personified.  You'll find her by following the sound of her laughter.

Jemi Senoga is from Virginia and is a recent graduate of Sewanee University.  She's interning at Seven Homes for Children.  She also provides the TAP girls with their community closet... she's quite the fashionista.

Karley Chamblee is from Alabama and while she traveled the world, her degree is from Birmingham- Southern College.  Karley brings a lot to our program, including being the best at responding to texts and emails.

These girls are delightful.  They are a constant source of joy in my life and I'm so thrilled to get to hang out with them.  We are doing a book study together during our  Tuesday morning family meetings, "TAP  Tuesday".  You can find us at Krankies- and you're welcome to join us for a chicken biscuit or an iced chai.  

Grace and Peace from TAP 6.0

Priest...or Pastor and a Rabbi
This Thursday night Priest and Rabbi kicks off at Finnigan's Wake Pub downtown at 6pm. Fr. Steve will not be with Rabbi Mark due to a wedding rehearsal, but Pastor Daniel Pugh of Augsburg Lutheran will be filling in.

Bats!
St. Timothy’s, as many of you are aware, is home to a population of bats. Due to health concerns and potential damage to the church structure, we are having them removed.

Devices will be put in place that allow the bats to fly out of the church, but not to fly back in. After the bats have vacated the premises, all buildings on our campus will be sealed to keep bats from returning. We have a five year guarantee that we won’t see bats flying around in the nave during the 11:00 Mass again! Sealing the structures will require the use of a large lift and in order to give the lift access to part of the church building, we have had to remove two trees between the church and chapel. We will be replanting trees later in the fall in the same locations.

If you have any questions about this project, please feel free to contact me at 336-765-0294 or chris@sttimothys.ws. 


Overflow Shelter Updates
Overflow Shelter opens  in 78 days !
St.Tim's is gearing up to host the emergency Overflow Shelter again this winter for the 4th season.  We will open our doors each night to homeless women in Winston-Salem who have nowhere else to lay their heads.  The parish has been amazing in the ways you all have stepped up in years past to make sure that shelter is available to all in our city each night.  All ages can help make this possible!  One of St.Tim's kids, Beck Machado, handed me an envelope with $26.05 this past  Sunday.  Beck raised the money himself by selling lemonade, and wanted to give it to the Overflow Shelter to help our guests.  Our Stitch by Stitch knitters have already started making warm hats and scarves for our guests.  Lea Thullbery has been working endlessly this summer to get some of our guests into their own housing.  Big & small--there are a myriad of ways to offer our gifts to this ministry.  I know it's still warm outside, but it's a great time to begin thinking about how you can support our Overflow Shelter this winter.  Email  katie@sttimothys.ws for ideas of how you can serve.  

PASTA!!!!
Thanks to all who have donated pasta for the New Communion Mobile Food Pantry.  New Communion goes out and distributes groceries and produce (from our garden!) to neighborhoods that have little access to food sources.  St.Tim's is the "pasta church"--our goal is to donate 100 boxes of dry pasta each month.  One change is that they no longer can accept lasagna noodles (because it's harder to eat them with only sauce).  Donations can be dropped off in the downstairs hallway at the Donation Station.   
Banns of Marriage
I publish the Banns of Marriage between John Roberts and Hannah Marie Devoid, both of Winston-Salem. If any of you know just cause why they may not be joined together in Holy Matrimony, you are bidden to declare it. This is the third time of asking.
