Shelter Wrap-Up
- This Friday is the last night of the overflow shelter for the season. Saturday morning, April 1 we will be working to pack up and clean out our shelter space. If you haven't had a chance to help us out this season--here is a great opportunity. We will be working from 8 a.m. until noon and all you need is the ability to take direction! This is a great opportunity for youth needing service hours, families looking for a way to volunteer together, or anyone looking to pitch in to this worthy endeavor. Supervised children welcome. Doughnuts provided. Please email katie@sttimothys.ws to let me know if you'd like to join us.
- Muscle needed at downtown checkin spot at 1:00pm loading chairs to return to St. Tim's to help reset Drake Hall. Contact Lea Thullbery if you are able to offer your volunteer time downtown moving chairs. Lea will meet you at 633 W. 4th St. In the parking lot directly across from Foothills. Text or call Lea 336.918.7980 or email Lea lea@sttimothys.ws
Sheltering Champs: The Abraham Project
The Abraham Project interns have been involved in our shelter each year from the very beginning. Each season I'm impressed at the way that our interns find their place in the Overflow Shelter ministry--this season is no exception as the interns jumped right in from the beginning--ready to do and try anything to offer this holy hospitality to our guests. In so many ways, Jemi, Emily, and Karley have kept the shelter going this season. On nights when no one else signed up to volunteer overnight, they showed up with joy to share. Every
Saturday night of the Overflow Shelter season, one of their smiling faces greeted our volunteers and guests alike as they rose to shelter leadership. They showed up early in the morning many days to make sure our guests had a good morning as they left the shelter. They raced over to the shelter more than a few times to let a volunteer or monitor into the building when the keys were locked inside. Even when they were not able to volunteer--they were so good to help recruit others to make sure that they shelter would run smoothly. Simply put, the Abraham Project interns were heroes and champs for our guests and volunteers this season. Because they offer fresh perspective that we all can grow from, hear these wise words from one of our TAP interns:

Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

St Timothy's talented organist, Raymond Hawkins, and our wonderful choir will continue to offer inspiring music this Fifth
Sunday in Lent, Passion Sunday.
Prelude:
“Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele” by Johannes Brahms (1833-1897).
You will recognize the tune from Hymn No. 339 in The Hymnal 1982, “Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness,” which is also one of the communion hymns. Brahms’ setting is an embellished chorale prelude for manuals only, with the melody in the upper voice.
Choral Anthem:
“The Call” by Alexander Brent Smith (1889-1950).
You may recognize this anthem from the Choir CD we recorded a few years ago. An English composer, Smith was the assistant organist at Worcester Cathedral for two years and then Director of Music at Lancing College from 1913-34. He then retired to devote himself to composition and writing and speaking on musical topics. The anthem's text is by George Herbert (1593-1633), a Welsh poet, orator and a priest.
Hymns:
O for a thousand tongues to sing, No. 493
O splendor of God's glory bright, No. 5
Deck thyself. my soul, with gladness, No. 339
Eternal light, shine in my heart, No. 466
Jesus, all my gladness, No. 701
God of mercy, God of grace, No. 538
Postlude:
Fugue in B minor, BWV 544, by J. S. Bach (1685-1750), Raymond Hawkins, organ
While the majority of Bach’s major organ works can be traced to his time in Weimar, the Prelude and Fugue in B Minor is a slightly later and more mature work, dating from around 1730 when the composer was in Leipzig. The fugue subject makes an appearance no fewer than 22 times in 88 measures, and travels through a myriad of different keys before finally resting back in the tonic key of B Minor.
We will chant the Great Litany at the 11am mass as we did on the First Sunday in Lent.
See you Sunday,
Christin

This Lent our children have taken their lenten fasts more seriously than I have ever seen before. From kids reminding me constantly of what they have given up, whether they miss eating chocolate or the novelty of meatless Fridays--to policing each other over the use of the "buried" "A-word", our children will hold us accountable to the Lenten fasts if we let them. Tonight our K-5th grade kids will be learning of Jesus' journey through Holy Week in Manna & Mercy. This may seem like we are a few weeks ahead with our Holy Week studies, but it is my hope that by Holy Week the children will already anticipate the story in the liturgy of the Triduum. In Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, the preK-2nd graders are learning all about Holy Eucharist and practicing gestures and reverence with members of the Order of Alcuin.
This Sunday and every
Sunday, PreK children (ages 3 and potty-trained to age 5) gather downstairs during the
9am mass for a time of songs, stories, wonder, and play in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.. Parents can drop children off as early as
8:45am in our Atrium (room C-4). Children join their families in mass at the passing of the Peace.
This Sunday is Parish Breakfast during the formation hour. All are invited to enjoy a hot breakfast in Drake Hall and fellowship with your church family.
Easter Egg Hunt
Sunday, April 16 between the
9am & 11am Easter Masses
Wrapped Candy donations needed (to be stuffed in plastic eggs)
Club 543
This weekend there are two opportunities for CLUB 543 families. Our service project this weekend will be to join in the clean-up/pack-up efforts this
Saturday, April 1st, from
8am-noon in Drake Hall. There will be ways that all ages can help close our shelter well. Children need their parents to stay and serve with them. CLUB 543 families (and anyone else!) can also join my family at Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Little Theatre (on Coliseum Blvd) this Sunday at
2pm. Children are welcome to come with their own families (or appointed adults) and need to secure their own tickets. Tickets are available online at
