Tuesday Morning Bible Study

Tuesdays, 9:30am

Room 6


Lent has begun! If you are looking for ways to keep a Holy Lent this year, consider joining Roger's Tuesday Morning Bible Study. The mornings last about an hour and a half, and typically includes some kind of sweet treat and coffee.


Because we're all beginners to the Bible, everyone is invited to speak and share what is moving in them through the use of mutual invitation. Most of the scriptures read will focus on the following Sunday's gospel readings.



If you'd like to learn more about the group or let him know you're coming, email Roger at RogerG@SaintTimothys.com

AROUND THE PARISH

Kitchen Crew

Volunteers needed!


Senior Warden Jane Holcer would like to form a group of parishioners who would like to be involved in the setting up for, running, and cleaning up after various parish fellowship events like the Annual Parish Meeting and Giving Appeal Breakfast. This is not a necessarily a weekly job, but one that has needs arise through the year. If you would like to find out more, please email her at JaneHolcer@gmail.com

Meal Train


For years, St. Timothy's has had a meal train ministry to bring food to the sick or homebound. The way the ministry is set up, overtime, the database of emails for helpers has been corrupted due to the life of the church and its people moving through different periods.


If you would like to be "on call" for homemade meals (or giftcards!) moving forward, please reach out to Sandy or Mike Phelps. There are only a handful of people who are in the rotation right now, so this ministry needs your help.


Contact them at phelpsts@gmail.com

Coffee Hour Post-Eucharist

Worship Space


We all know how nice it is to come out of a long worship service, too rushed on the way to church to grab breakfast, and see snacks on the big table. When there's a plate of cookies or brownies, we smile and maybe relax a little bit, not so quick to rush off to the rest of our week.


Because this is not something that can be sustained by one or even two people, we are recruiting you, the parishioner! We ask you to bring cookies, brownies, fruit, or any little snacks to share after our worship service. The month will be divided into groups of last names.


Monthly Breakdown

1st Sunday - last names beginning with A - F

2nd Sunday - last names beginning with G - K

3rd Sunday - last names beginning with L - P

4th Sunday - last names beginning with Q - U

5th Sunday - last names beginning with T - Z


For example, if your last name is "Adams," you are asked to bring a snack on the first Sunday of the month. If your name is "Zorn," you are asked to bring a snack on the fifth Sunday of the month.

Email Scam Warning

Unfortunately, there are multiple scam emails being sent to parishioners. The perpetrators have emails with Roger'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: Roger will NEVER email you asking for money or gift cards. ALL official correspondence from Roger will come from the @SaintTimothys.com address ONLY.


Be careful online - always check and double-check your links and accounts.
