Please put your name on the poster in the Parish Hall if you want to take on last year’s winner, Bob Elsea, and try to claim the title of St. Timothy’s 2007 Chili Master. The contest is open to everyone. So pull out those recipes and let us get a taste of your work. Tickets will be on sale after the 9 AM and 11 AM services. They are $7 for adults and $3 for children.

Everyone interested in being Confirmed should be in the Parlor at 10:00 AM on that Sunday. Please remember that the classes are not only for confirmands, but for those who want to be received into this Communion and those who simply want a refresher course as well. You will receive a schedule for the classes and will need to complete an information sheet. The information sheet will ask for your date of Baptism, so it will be helpful to find that date before the first Confirmation Class and bring it to class. The Confirmation will be held on Sunday, May 13th.

The Monday Evening Bible Study will resume Monday, January 8th at 7:00 PM in the Parlor. Please join us for a study of the Pastoral Epistles of Saints Timothy and Titus.
