Both Safeguarding God's Children (SGC) and Safeguarding God's People (SGP) will be held Saturday, March 24th in The Hall.  SGC will begin at 9:00 AM and SGP will begin at 1:00 PM.  Each class is scheduled for 3 hours.

If you serve in any ministries that involve children or youth, you are required to be certified in Safeguarding God's Children.   If you serve on the Vestry, are a Eucharistic Visitor, Small Group Leader, Usher or serve in any ministry for adults, you are required to be certified in Safeguarding God's People.  

The certification process in Safeguarding is a multi-step process.  All steps must be completed which include an interview, online application process, references, background check and classroom training.  If all steps are not completed in the allowable time frame, certification will not occur.  To begin the process, please email Lauren Crim at  LRCrim@comcast.net.  Certification remains active for 5 years, so if you think you may need re-certification, please email Lauren.

To see your current certification status and know if it's time to renew, check out this site:  http://bit.ly/2G1ZBYo.  The site has links at the top for SGC and SGP certification statuses

The envelope in Sunday's bulletin should be familiar to all of you who have been at St. Timothy's through a Christmas or Easter past.   Your memories and/or thanksgivings are listed in the bulletins for Easter, and your donations help with the cost of our wonderful music and decorations. This year's deadline is March 26th. Please put envelopes in the offering plate or bring to the office during Church office hours.

Our next study will begin Tuesday, April 3rd at 1:00 p.m. When we hear the name Gideon, most of us think about his 300 soldiers or a fleece spread beneath the evening sky. But Gideon's story is so much bigger than that. This is a story about God and His people-His love for them, as well as His strength operating in spite of, even through, their weakness.

This 7-session study will encourage you to recognize your weakness as the key that the Lord gives you to unlock the full experience of His strength in your life. Instead of ignoring, neglecting, or trying to escape your weaknesses, learn to see them as the gifts given specifically and strategically by God. If you've ever felt insufficient, ill-equipped, incompetent, or outnumbered, this study is for you.

The study will end Tuesday, May 15. If interested, contact Nancy Carter at wcarter006@comcast.net or by phone at 979-285-4831.
