From The Rev. Alice's Desk
Last week our community received the sad news that long-time nursery attendant Judi Gambill had died. Judi was a deeply faithful woman and cared immensely for our children. She had been ill for the last month and unable to be in the nursery. (Rev. Alice) checked in periodically and Judi was always upbeat and expressed her love for the little ones. The family will be having a small, private service for her.
This Sunday, we will have cards available for anyone who feels called to write her mother Marilyn and their family a note of condolence and thanks, as well as paper and crayons for the kids to draw her a picture.

The Crowded Table

What is The Crowded Table?
It is a soft place to land for LGBTQ+ people of deep faith, uncertain faith, curious faith.

Meetings will regularly take place on the last Sunday of the month in the Parish Hall. Questions? Email Alice at AliceC@SaintTimothys.com

St. Tim's Monthly Potluck & Game Night
Saturday, February 1, 6pm
Parish Hall
St. Tim's Game Night is rebranding as a Potluck & Game Night (and who doesn't love a potluck?!) On the first Saturday of every month, a crew gets together to play board and card games, eat tasty food, and hang out with one another. ALL ages are welcome. Bring food and games to share!
February's Potluck & Game Night will be themed around the Superbowl! Cincinnati (sadly) didn't make it to the playoffs, but we can still root for our (other) favorite teams!! Wear your team's colors and be ready to play as hard as they do!
Our beloved Rev. Alice is a Game Board Librarian and had this to say about why games are important:
"The thing is, we still need play as adults, whether it’s telling jokes or a sports league or board gaming. We get stuck in the seriousness of the world and need the release of play. To be fair, there’s heavy stuff happening in the world and close to home—there are real problems that need to be taken seriously if we are going to heal. But delight and play help heal us as well. In a world where we are increasingly separate, where we struggle to find ways to talk to each other, whether it’s because of a political disagreement or simply because we don’t know each other yet, play can bring us together. Meet some new people, play new games, change the world, maybe. " (Quote from The Power of Play — Free Parking )

Support for Immigrants
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” Matthew 25:35
In November 2024, in cooperation with several other Cincinnati churches, St. Timothy’s began co-sponsoring a refugee family. We sent $2000 to this Sanctuary Coalition to help with the family’s expenses and we have a church member on the weekly support call. A small group of St. Tim’s folk are brainstorming how else God moving among immigrants in Cincinnati and how we can help. If you’re interested in this conversation, please email Althea Kearney at thekearneys@live.com.

New TV by Parish Hall
Courtesy of the Kennards
Have you seen the sleek new television mounted outside the Parish Hall? It was donated to use by Louise and Bill Kennard! (Thanks, you two!)
The tv is fantastic and will be invaluable to marketing our mission during the Farmers' Market, Eastside Pride, and other large community events.

Judy's Recipe

In line with Honey Favorito's Food for Life classes, this meal is healthy, affordable, and packed full of veggies. God wants us to take care of our bodies - that, in part, is eating well!

Unfortunately, there are multiple scam emails being sent to parishioners. The perpetrators have emails with Roger's and Alice's name in them and have gone as far as taking his photo from our website. They can be convincing, but beware - they are scams. There isn't anything we can do about the impersonators except to flag the email as a fake account. If this happens to you, please report the email in your inbox.
Remember: Our clergy will NEVER email you asking for money or gift cards. ALL official correspondence from clergy will come from the @SaintTimothys.com address ONLY.
Be careful online - always check and double-check your links and accounts.
