St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church
An Episcopal Church in Raleigh, North Carolina
On Sunday, February 20th, the Church School will have a Teachers’ Meeting at 10 AM in the Kindergarten Building Science Lab. Have you thought about teaching a class? This is the perfect opportunity to talk to other teachers, hear about the exciting upcoming events in the Church School and to take a look at our curriculum. We would love to have you join us!
The Church School is excited to announce the addition of a new two-year-old class beginning in January 2011. We are looking for volunteers to help us teach the class and children to attend. Please contact Susan Patton at 274-2222 or susanpatton@nc.rr.com if interested.
There will be a meeting of all those interested in helping with the new two-year-old Church School Class on Sunday, January 9th at 10 AM in the Parish Hall.
There will be a meeting for all Church School teachers on Sunday, November 21st at 10:15 AM.
Our Church School presents a Christmas Pageant every year at the Family Service at 5:30 PM on Christmas Eve. We are planning for the Pageant and need to know who will be participating that evening. This is a long-standing tradition for our Church School children, and we hope that everyone will be able to take part. The sign-up sheet is located on the wooden table as you enter the Parish Hall from the bell tower. If you have questions, please contact Susan Patton at 274-2222 or susanpatton@nc.rr.com.
Our Church School will be focusing on Stewardship from now through Sunday, October 31st (Touchdown Sunday). We will have pledge cards available for the children, and we will be participating in a Service Sunday on October 17th. We will be assembling backpacks for BackPack Buddies for North Raleigh Ministries. This program provides healthy foods to hungry children at time when other resources are not available, such as weekends and school vacations. We will be collecting food from now through October 17th. Please consider having your family purchase the items to fill an entire BackPack. This will help us plan the number of completed BackPacks and give us a count of what items are still needed.
Each BackPack contains 2 cans of vegetables, 1 can of fruit, 2 cans of meat or meat stew (tuna, chicken or ravioli), 2 noodle packs (Easy Mac in the box which we will separate into individual packs, or Ramen), 2 100% juice boxes, 3 boxes of shelf-stable milk (found in the baking aisle), 2 healthy snacks (dried fruit, granola bar, Goldfish crackers), 2 breakfast items (oatmeal packet, small low-sugar cereal boxes, or breakfast bars). Pop-top and individual sizes are best. NO soft tops or high sugar items are allowed in the BackPacks.
Our Church School will resume classes on Sunday, September 12th. Registration for Church School begins Sunday, August 15th. Please be sure to complete and return the registration form to the Christian Education box in the Parish Office.
Thank you to the members of the Parish who have already volunteered to teach in our Church School this year. It is not too late to join in! Please see the Volunteer Opportunity sign-up sheet on the Church School Registration tables for a complete list. Don’t miss a great opportunity to make a difference.

The last day of Church School will be Sunday, June 6th. Please join us for a cookout hosted by the Men’s Fellowship during Coffee Hour.
Many thanks to our Church School Teachers for a wonderful 2009-2010 Year! Our Christian Education program would not be as successful without its committed team of teachers who give generously of their time. We want to thank all of our teachers who show their love of God and our Church and children week after week. Please be sure to thank the following teachers when you see them: Dan Bain, Kim Bain, Betsy James, Elizabeth McKeathern, Lisa McAllister, Marsha Hendrickson-Slack, Leola McCray, Yusbeht Barrios, Robert Gibson, Jeanette Lewis, Joanna Smothers, Marlee Bourey, Dunford Okoth, Grace Hurst, Amy Marley, Deanna Lord, Jan Persing and Liz Bodiford.
The last Church School teachers’ meeting of the 2009-2010 school year will be on Saturday, June 5th at 9 AM. This is a very important meeting for all teachers to attend because we will examine the past school year and look at how we can improve things for the 2010-2011 school year. All teachers should attend so we can hear directly from you what things went well and what things did not.
We have volunteer opportunities for the following:
