Collect for Second Sunday of Easter
Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ's Body may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

New and Improved Online Giving
|
|
|
|
This new portal is easier to use and, once you create an account, you can keep up with your giving history. You can also give via check online.
|
|
Give by Text -
336-697-6543
|
|
This is amazing. I never have cash or a check, but I always have my phone. You can now give to the work of St Timothy's just by texting. Here's how it works:
1. Text an amount to
336-697-6543
2. You will be sent a link to set up your debit/credit card (take a few seconds)
3. Once complete, your transaction will go through and you number will always be associated with the card.
Plus, you can text "Funds" to see a specific fund. If you want to sponsor a lamp, you can text "25 st timothys" and it will go the St Timothy's Lamp, etc. If the fund isn't recognized, you'll get a list of all the funds and you text back the number of the fund you wish to give to
PS: This is not connected to your phone bill. It it connected to a card of your choice.

Giving Kiosk is returning!
|
Turns out, we made a mistake. A few years ago, we thought we could improve on older giving kiosk with a newer model that could also serve as an information station. Good intention but the product and execution left a lot to be desired. Therefore we are pleased to announce the return of the smaller and easier giving kiosk for giving. This kiosk is aimed at folks like me, Fr Steve, who couldn't find a check if my life depended on it and I rarely, rarely have cash.

Capital Campaign | A Place for Baptism
|
|
We are fortunate at St Timothy’s to celebrate a lot of baptisms. We had one baptism this past Sunday and we have two this coming Sunday, with others currently in preparation. With so many baptisms, it might be tempting to take for granted what we are doing in this sacrament. Holy Baptism is Christian initiation. It is the sacrament through which we die with Christ and rise with him. We receive the forgiveness of sins, the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love, and are grafted into Christ’s Body, the Church. Far from something “Christians do,” it is a profound event of initiation and orientation.
The place of baptism speaks to the theology of baptism. The font is at the west end of the church, the entrance. This is because baptism is our entrance into Christ. The baptismal font and the altar make up the two axes of the Christian life. It is therefore fitting that the place of baptism reflect the significance of the act itself.
By extending the choir loft approximately 10 feet, the architects of Cram and Ferguson were able to design a substantial baptistery. The larger footprint of the choir loft enables a mini-dome above the font, creating a halo over the place of Christian initiation. The font itself is designed for both infant and adult baptisms. The base of the font extends forward so that adolescents and adults can kneel inside and have the waters of baptism poured over them. There is a drain in this font so that the waters can reverently drain to the earth. In this design there is also a permanent and dignified place for the Paschal Candle, which burns during every baptism, and an aumbry for Holy Oils. After every person is baptized, they are anointed with chrism, oil blessed by the bishop. Holy Oils are appropriately kept in aumbries and not in draws or cabinets. Having both the candle and oils in these places makes their connection to Holy Baptism apparent.

city Jerusalem.
