Amen.

Adult Formation | Biblical Community and Hospitality led by Becky Johnston
|
|
|
I am pleased to welcome member Becky Johnston as the Sunday morning hospitality coordinator. She will help us envision an authentic and vibrant ministry to welcome visitors to St Timothy's and to help them become a part of of our parish community. To begin this work, she will lead Adult Formation for the next month on Wednesday nights. ~ Fr Steve

|
Over the next 4 weeks, we will discuss Biblical community and hospitality- and come up with practical things that we can do as individuals and as a Parish to welcome others. We will brainstorm together how to make our homes, our jobs, and our church a place where people are comfortable and invited into the presence of God.
Week One we will focus on getting to know the new members of The Abraham Project. Cassie and Emily will tell us about their jobs and their interests.
Weeks Two- Four we will dive into Scripture to see the model for Biblical hospitality. We will look at other church models, and talk about ours as well.
Becky is a NC Native. Asheville -> Chapel Hill -> Winston-Salem. While on staff at HillSong Church in Chapel Hill, her senior pastor referred to her as the "Minister of Relationships". She loves finding connections with people, entertaining in her home, and sending messages to strangers on accident. (See: Facebook.) When she's not hanging out with Dan and her two girls, she is hanging out with our TAP interns... and finding memes to send Father Steve.

Vestry Reflection |Chris Skarzynski

Each week members of the vestry will offer a reflection in our weekly publications. This week's reflection is from Chris Skarzynski.

Leadership. What does it mean to be a leader? Am I a leader? When I think about leadership, I often think about what it is not. Being the CFO, COO, or even the President of a large corporation does not make one a leader. I believe anyone who can empower others to listen and follow is a true leader. It does not depend on a skill set, rather, I think true leaders possess a belief in, or faith in, something beyond themselves. For myself, and other Christians, our leadership comes from within through
faith by the Grace of God. Scripture provides a perfect example of leadership through St. Paul. Even as he suffered for Christ, his leadership manifested itself through his guidance of the early churches. Much of his leadership was expressed from his prison cell in Rome. We, however, are only imprisoned by the challenges and circumstances of daily life. Do not let the barriers of life hold you back from stepping into a leadership role. Leading a class…Leading a work group…or Leading someone to Christ.

Sunday Small Groups Resume this Sunday
|
|
|
Small Groups are back!
After a summertime break, Sunday morning small groups resume this week during the formation hour, between the 9:00 and 11:00 services. Small Groups are an important step in our parish mission of Adoration, Formation, and Transformation. Adults of all ages and from all walks of life meet regularly throughout year to build deeper relationships with other Christians based on sincere conversations and study. These groups are based on discussions of the weekly Sunday Lessons, prayer for one another, and care for one another.
Why join a Small Group?
• to feel a closer connection to the Sunday lessons
• to feel more connected to St. Timothy’s community
• to feel more comfortable with prayer/prayer requests
• to enjoy adult conversation over a cup of coffee
Sunday small groups meet after the 9:00 service, at approximately 10:15 each Sunday. Locations are:
Gribbin Conference Room: Chris Skarzynski, leader
Gribbin Commons: Lea Thullbery, leader
Drake Hall: Beth Morphis, leader
All groups are open to all adult parishioners.
Come and see!
