Mother’s Day 2012

Webwright — Sat, 12 May 2012 20:03:34 +0000

Our Men’s Fellowship members are hosting the Coffee Hour this morning in honor of Mother’s Day. We thank God this day and always for all mothers, for the gift of motherhood, for our own mothers, and above all for the life and witness of Saint Mary the Virgin, the Mother of God.

Confirmation Sunday May 6th

Webwright — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 02:11:11 +0000

Candidates for Confirmation are asked to attend a rehearsal on Saturday, May 5th at 10 AM in the Church.

Bishop William Gregg will be our preacher and celebrant next Sunday. Bishop Gregg, Assistant Bishop of the Diocese of North Carolina, will be making the bishop’s annual visitation to the parish. Please set aside Sunday, May 6th to worship with us, support the persons being confirmed at the bishop’s hands and welcome Bishop Gregg after the 11 AM service at the Coffee Hour.

Easter Day Reception

Webwright — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 18:18:33 +0000

It has become a nice custom of the Parish to have a Reception on Easter Day in honor of Our Lord’s Resurrection. This replaces our usual Coffee Hour and allows us to truly break our Lenten fasts! Please bring a ready-to-serve dish, sweet or savory, to the Parish Hall prior to the 11 AM service. A member of the ECW will be there to accept your dish.

We have found too that we need just as many hands to help in the cleanup after the reception as we do before the reception, so please make a note so we can have a count of how many people will be helping with the tidying up afterwards.

Chili Cook-Off Postponed

Webwright — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 17:59:28 +0000

The Chili Cook-off scheduled for Sunday, April 1st has been called off. There were so few challengers to the reigning Chili Meister, Mary Richardson, that we will have to wait until next January or February to have the cook-off.

Lenten Soup Suppers

Webwright — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:35:12 +0000

We have a parish Lenten practice of groups hosting soup suppers on the five Wednesdays in Lent after Ash Wednesday. This does two thing in helping keep a holy Lent. First, it brings us together. We share a simple meal of meatless soup or chili, rolls or bread, crackers, and coffee, tea or water. Second, there is a program, usually intended to be informative and to help in our study of the Faith. This year the five talks will be on various aspects of The Eucharist. The talks are intended to be a continuation or further examination of some of the areas covered in our Eucharistic Workshop last month. Father Martin and Father James will lead talks on the following:

Week I: The Church Building and Eucharist Meaning
Week II: Anglican Eucharistic Theology
Week III: Preparation and Tranksgiving
Week IV: Eucharistic Devotion
Week V: Eucharistic Living

The Eucharist is our main form of worship in The Episcopal Church and ought to be the focus of our devotional life as a Christian and to form and inform our lives all through our time on earth. Come and learn how that can happen.

The groups hosting this year’s Lenten soup suppers are:

February 29th: Men’s Fellowship
March 7th: Adult Bible Study Group
March 14th: Vestry
March 21st: St. Anne’s Chapter of the ECW
March 28th: Altar Guild

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper

Webwright — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:26:59 +0000

It has become a great local tradition at Saint Timothy’s for the Men’s Fellowship to gather on Shrove Tuesday and cook heaping mounds of pancakes and sausages so we can eat as much as we can before it all gets taken away on Ash Wednesday. Since we need to use up the meat and butter that we are prevented from eating due to our Lenten fasts and abstinences, we will do well to make our way to the Parish Hall on Tuesday, February 21st at 6:30 PM and have as much as we possibly can. Everyone is welcome.

Hanging of the Greens

Webwright — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 03:43:41 +0000

On Sunday, December 18th immediately after the 11 AM service we will decorate the Church for Christmas Eve and the Twelve Days of Christmas. It will be good to have 15-20 volunteers help with the Christmas Tree, the creche, the garland and the wreaths. We will have Saint Timothy’s looking beautiful to welcome Our Lord on Christmas Eve!

Christmas Pageant Sign-Up

Webwright — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 03:07:47 +0000

Our Church School presents a Christmas Pageant every year at the Family Service at 5:30 PM on Christmas Eve. We are beginning to plan for the Pageant and need to know who will be here that evening to participate. This is a long-standing tradition for our Church School children, and we hope that everyone will be able to take part. Sign-ups have begun for the Pageant Cast; the sign-up is located on the wooden table as you enter the Parish Hall from the bell tower. If you have any questions, please contact Susan Patton at 919-274-2222 or susanpatton@nc.rr.com.

Parish Annual Meeting

Webwright — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 02:55:30 +0000

The Parish Annual Meeting will be held on Sunday, December 4th following the 11 AM Service. On that day, we will celebrate both the 9 AM and 11 AM Services and then remain in the Church for the Annual Meeting. There will be no Coffee Hour on that day, but child care will be available. We really would like to have all parishioners take part in the Annual Meeting and exercise their privilege to vote on the business matters of the Parish and read the annual reports of the Parish organizations. To vote at the Annual Meeting, one must be an adult (at least 16 years old) confirmed Communicant. The two major items of business at the meeting are to elect the Vestry and to accept the reports from the organizations in the Parish. Reports should be no more than one double-spaced typewritten page; we want to have copies of all of the reports available before the meeting. All Parish organizations should submit a report, including the Altar Guild, Church School, Choir, Layreaders, Acolytes, Episcopal Church Women, Table Fellowship Groups, Youth Group, Pastoral Care Committee, North Raleigh Ministries, St. Anne’s Chapter of the ECW, Ushers, Men’s Fellowship and St. Timothy’s School.
