Activities and Organizations

St. Timothy’s Church offers many opportunities to join in church activities through service groups and organizations. All interested parishioners are invited to join.

  • St. Timothy’s Men’s Fellowship: The members of the Men’s Fellowship meet on a regular basis to plan ways to serve the church through various activities such as assisting in Feast Day, the Mardi Gras party, and organizing pancake suppers and barbeque dinners.
  • Episcopal Church Women: The members of the ECW meet on a regular basis to plan ways to serve the church through various activities such as sponsoring annual Lenten Suppers and conducting varioua sales and auctions.
  • Nursery Care: Care is available during the 9 AM and 11 AM services of Holy Communion. Members of the congregation volunteer their time for this duty.
  • Lay Readers: Lay readers provide assistance to the priest during services such as reading the psalms, lessons and prayers and serving as chalice bearer during Holy Communion. This ministry helps create a deeper awareness of the relationships that sustain the gathered church family. Lay readers require a written license issued by the Bishop.
  • Ushers: Ushers are responsible for cleaning and straightening the materials within the pews before and after each Sunday morning service. They also greet worshippers, distribute programs, and collect and present the offerings.
  • Acolytes: Acolytes are active, dedicated members of the church who are specially trained to assist the priest during the worship service. Acolytes may be newly confirmed youth or older members who have served for many years. Duties include bearing the Cross that leads the procession of worship and assisting the priest in the preparation of communion.
  • Altar Guild: The Altar Guild polishes and cleans the silver, brass and crystal as well as launders and irons the linens before setting up the altar for the Holy Communion services.
  • Pastoral Care Committee: This committee visits and prays for the sick, disabled and shut-in members of the congregation. In addition, this group works to care for infirm believers by calling and sending flowers, cards and church bulletins.
  • Choir: The Choir sings at the 11 AM service each Sunday. Volunteers practice weekly and are always trained and encouraged to sing parts of the Communion services, anthems and motets as well as lead the congregation in the singing of hymns.
