2024 has been another blessed year at St. Timothy’s.
Our stewardship theme is Rooted in Faith, Growing Our Future; powerful imagery of who we are. We are reminded of our roots in worship, adult formation, and fellowship. We grow the future through outreach, youth formation, and events like our neighborhood picnic.
One way we’re growing the future is through our capital campaign, rooted in our 60+ year commitment to providing a welcoming and functional space to be the hands, feet, and voice of Christ. We’re also addressing deferred maintenance, like our red doors.
Thanks to our Junior Warden Mel Rambo, our Finance Team, and the Long Range Property Planning Team, we’ve already had nearly $300,000 pledged.
Our outreach efforts—Faith and Grace Garden, YJI, Women at the Well, Second Offering, the FreeStore, the Casserole Ministry, and others—show your deep commitment to growing God’s Kingdom in our community.
Being rooted in faith reminds us that our formative years shaped us to be Christ’s hands, feet, and voice. After months of discussion, we budgeted for a half-time Children’s and Youth Minister to strengthen our children’s and youth formation.
As we look to a new year, we have a couple of challenges:
- It will be a stretch to grow the Children’s and Youth Minister position from 10 to 24 hours.
- As faithful givers pass away or move, those remaining, along with newer families, must give a bit more to continue our mission.
To move forward with confidence, we need the average pledge to increase by 9%. Please prayerfully consider your role in Growing our Future.
We deeply appreciate all who contribute Time, Talent, and Treasure to St. Timothy’s, and our dedicated staff who keep the church running daily.
This church is our home and gives us many blessings. It has been a rewarding year to serve as Senior Warden, witnessing all the ways YOU are Christ’s hands, feet, and voice in the world.
We are rooted in faith. Blessings as we grow our 2025.
Alan Feirer,
Senior Warden
