If you plan on attending St. Michael’s Conference this summer, or if you are interested in learning more about St. Michael’s Conference, please meet with Father James on Sunday, March 4th in the Parlor during Coffee Hour. PLEASE BRING YOUR PARENTS WITH YOU.  We need to talk about the requirements to be met if you are going to go from St. Timothy’s, how we are going to pay for the trip and the Conference, travel plans, and anything else related to the Conference. This conference is for young people who are 14 to 21 years old. It is a week-long educational conference in West Hartford, Connecticut where people attend classes, worship, pray and form a community where they learn to strengthen their faith and put their faith into practice. Please see the brochure on the Parish Hall bulletin board and come to the meeting on March 4th.

Lent begins on Wednesday, February 21st - Ash Wednesday. To start Lent off right, everyone should plan to attend one of the three Ash Wednesday services: 7:30 AM, 10:30 AM or 7:30 PM. Communion will be celebrated at each service with the Imposition of Ashes. We will do well after Ash Wednesday to deepen our devotion by taking on acts of self-discipline, increasing our attendance at services on Sundays and weekdays, and giving ourselves over to reading and studying Holy Scripture.

Please join us on Tuesday, February 20th for our traditional pancake supper to mark this last evening before Lent. The Mens’ Fellowship will be making pancakes and sausage for you and your family in the Parish Hall starting at 6:30 PM. The cost is $5 for adults and $4 for children ages 4-11. We look forward to seeing you there.
