Every Member Canvass Update

Webwright — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 03:21:13 +0000

The Vestry designated Sunday, November 2nd as our Every Member Canvass Sunday. Many were here to offer their pledges in thanksgiving to God for the work and witness of St. Timothy’s through 2009. The canvass will continue through November and December, and if you have yet to pledge, please complete a pledge card from the narthex. We also have children’s pledge cards for those who are younger. The Vestry will follow up with phone calls and letters until they have canvassed the entire membership. This canvass will determine the strength and power of our witness through 2009. As of November 25th, we have 197 pledges totalling $285,017.20. Our goal is to have more than 220 pledges, so if you have not completed a 2009 pledge card, now is the time!

We are providing traditional Christmas dinner boxes, Christmas stockings, and toys to eligible clients in our area. Already, over 70 children are registered for Christmas toys, and we still have a week to sign up. Your generosity will give these children a joyful Christmas. Please donate new toys and items for Christmas stockings before December 12. Last year we donated over 200 stockings, and this year the need has greatly increased.

Food Pantry Needs: Breakfast items (cereals, grits, oatmeal, breakfast bars, etc.), canned meats, dessert items (cake mix, pudding, Jell-O, etc.). Marked containers will be placed in the Parish Hall for collection of these items, and they will be transported to the Crisis Center. Please donate your time, talents and energy to sharing Christ’s love with our neighbors by volunteering at North Raleigh Ministries. Call 785-9911 and ask for Katie or contact Pat Baker at 787-5976 to volunteer.

AED Trainee Needed

Webwright — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 04:03:14 +0000

We are looking for a person in the Parish who is willing to be trained in how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED). It would be good if this person has training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We have access to two new defibrillators in the school building and in the gymnasium, and the Vestry is considering purchasing one for the Parish Hall and the Church. The person ought to have been trained in CPR, but if not, then that training can be provided as well. The school is setting up a training session in January, so if anyone is interested, please contact Father James (787-7590) or Lori Huber, the school nurse (787-1131 Ext. 1123).
