Meeting Days: Usually 1 evening each month
Meeting Time: 7:00 – 8:30pm (approximately)
Contact Norm Terry (905-426-4555) for more details. We discuss ways to promote Christian growth within our church family. Working as a team, each member of this group provides valuable input and takes responsibility for various parts of the program. We organize the weekly Greeters who welcome everyone each Sunday morning.
We organized the Nametags so that it would be easier to identify each other in our church family. The Care-Ring was started in order to help others in emergency or difficult situations. Once a year, we plan a Newcomers Dinner, which is hosted by the Session. Also, there are pew leaflets, which are updated to help keep everyone informed about the activities at St. Timothy’s. We also formulate ways of reaching out into the community, such as by improving signage so that people are able to locate St.Timothy’s easily, advertising special events in the local paper, and dropping off St. Timothy’s leaflets in home mailboxes.
Practical Acts of Kindness
(Part of the Outreach Committee)
Meeting Time: 1:00 pm Saturday or after church some Sundays
Meeting Days: Meet at church or specified location on pre-announced Saturdays usually around special occasions like Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving.
Practical Acts of Christian Kindness has been a feature of St. Timothy’s for ten years. These are occasions where we hand out little tokens of grace, without strings attached, as an expression of Christ’s love. These contain our contact information and why we do this. Recipients are encouraged to do something nice for somebody else every day. Past items have been artificial tea lights; Christmas wrap; Easter candy and blank stamped cards to send to a friend ‘just because…’; bulbs to plant in autumn and Tim Hortons coffee cards. Some Sundays PACK is given to members of congregation to pass out themselves.
