Worship Services

We offer four worship services at St. Timothy’s. On Saturday nights our Worship Team leads a contemporary service in the Fellowship Hall at 6:00 pm. On Sunday mornings, our 8:15 worship service is a traditional liturgical service, the 9:45 worship service is a blend of contemporary and traditional styles, while the 11:15 worship service offers even more contemporary music in a traditional Lutheran format.
 

 

Advent Services

Advent, the first season of the Liturgical Church Year, begins four Sundays before Christmas. With the lighting of the Advent Wreath, the congregation prepares for the coming of the Christ Child. Midweek (Wednesday) services are held at 7:30 pm. and are approximately 45 minutes in length.
 

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.
 

Christmas Eve

Five worship services are held on Christmas Eve; 3:00, 5:00, 7:00, 9:00 and 11:00 pm. All are traditional Candlelight Services, with the 5:00 & 7:00 services being more contemporary in musical style.
 

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. 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.
 

Easter and Holy Week

St. Timothy's observes Holy Week with special services, beginning with PALM SUNDAY. MAUNDY THURSDAY provides two communion opportunities; the “White Breakfast” at 7:00 am, for the women of St. Timothy's, and a 7:30 pm worship service for the whole congregation. GOOD FRIDAY is observed by the Day School at an 11:30 am service which they conduct, as well as by the entire congregation at 7:30 pm.

The congregation celebrates EASTER, the resurrection of our Lord, with three services: 8:00, 9:30 and 11:00 am.
 

Lent

Lenten services begin with a 7:30 ASH WEDNESDAY Communion service, and continue with services each Wednesday at 7:30 pm until Holy Week. The services are designed for the whole family, and are approximately forty-five minutes long.
 

Memorial Services and Funerals

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.
 

Thanksgiving Eve

One worship service is held at 7:30 pm. The offering is given to the ELCA's World Hunger program.
 

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.
