Altar Guild   
This organization’s general tasks include cleaning the Sanctuary, setting up for Holy Communion, caring for the linens, paraments and vessels used in worship, and arranging altar flowers.

Baptism  
The Sacrament of Holy Baptism is held during regular worship services. Parents should contact the church office to make arrangements. A preparatory appointment will be made with one of the pastors to review the teachings of Baptism, the service itself, and the responsibilities of parents and sponsors. A brochure which further describes Baptism at St. Timothy's, is available in the church entryway and in the church office.

Communion  
Holy Communion is ordinarily celebrated on the first and third Saturdays and Sundays of the month, and on the Christian festival days of Ash Wednesday and Maundy Thursday as well as the Thanksgiving Eve service. At St. Timothy's we practice open communion, meaning that all who have received instruction in its meaning and who believe in the real presence of Christ in the bread and wine, are invited to receive the sacrament. Homebound members are urged to contact the pastors to bring the Sacrament to them at a convenient time.

Memorial Services  
These services may be performed for members or non-members of St. Timothy's. The pastors wish to be as involved as much as they are needed by individuals and families during times of serious illness and bereavement. Services may be performed at the church, a cemetery, in private homes or other institutions (such as nursing homes), as the conditions warrant.

Prayer Requests  
Prayer is a powerful gift God has given us, and we encourage one another in its use. Members and friends desiring public prayer during our worship services and/or inclusion in our prayer chain, are asked to contact the church office.

Visitations  
The pastors are in touch with and/or personally visit all our hospitalized and other shut-ins at least once a month. Please keep the pastors informed of any visitation needs you become aware of, so no one is overlooked.

Weddings  
Those wishing to be married at St. Timothy's should contact the Church Office, and arrange to speak with one of the pastors. Premarital Counseling is available. Non-member weddings are ordinarily performed for couples desiring to make St. Timothy's their home church, or who make a commitment to be involved in another church. Supervision of all weddings and receptions held at St. Timothy's is done by our Wedding Consultant. After first speaking with one of the pastors, persons planning a wedding meet with the Wedding Consultant to discuss procedures, policies and fees.

Worship Assistants  
A number of members participate in the worship services at St. Timothy's. Opportunities for service include Acolytes, Communion Assistants, Greeters, Readers, Musicians, Sound Board Operators, and Ushers. Others who support our services participate in Altar Guild, Nursery Care and Coffee Service.
