The Vestry has designated Sunday, November 2nd as our Every Member Canvass Sunday. On that day, we are asked to bring our completed 2009 Pledge Cards to Church and offer them at the Altar. We will have received our Pledge Cards in the mail about three weeks prior to the Every Member Canvass. This gives us time to think, pray and discuss with ourselves and our families what amount we want to give to St. Timothy’s for 2009. These pledges are truly important for a number of spiritual and practical reasons. They are an expression of our thankfulness to God for our Church and what St. Timothy’s means to us. They are our way of living out our Biblical call to return a portion to Him of all that He has given us. We use the Biblical tithe (10%) as the basis of giving. The Vestry uses the amount pledged to the Church to prepare a budget for 2009. They allow the work of our parish to continue and even grow so that many others can worship and practice their faith in this place.

There will be no Children’s Chapel on November 2nd. Please help your children complete their pledge cards and bring your children into the Church for the 11 AM Service. They will join the congregation for the Every Member Canvass and present their pledge cards.

Watch for the time change! Please remember to turn your clocks back one hour on Saturday night, November 1st.
