ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Only two weeks left until we launch Alpha 2024! St. Timothy’s is incredibly blessed to have a team of parishioners who are dedicating their time, energy and resources to prepare a dinner for our Alpha Course Guests EVERY Tuesday evening throughout the fall! Each Tuesday night at 6:30 pm, our guests will arrive for an evening of dining, video and conversation in a friendly, safe environment. Would you be willing to give a donation of $50 - $60 for one week of Alpha hospitality? To show our gratitude, your name or your family name will be announced at our Alpha session that night as well as in the E-blast.
- This Sunday is our Annual Blessing of the Backpacks! Students and teachers at all academic levels are invited to bring their backpacks to church and place them in front of the Altar before the service. During the service, students and teachers will be invited to the front to receive a special blessing and a tag to put on their backpacks. This year, it is our great joy to also commission everyone (all our adults!) to a new ministry year. The commissioning will be based on the following categories of work (check out your e-blast for more information!)
