Prayer Shawl Ministry
Parishioners at St. Timothy's have been knitting/crocheting prayer shawls to be given to persons who are ill, grieving, or going through a difficult time. This ministry is not just about how we care for others, but how God chooses to care for others through our caring. The simple act of knitting/crocheting a prayer shawl while praying for the shawl's receiver has allowed many to witness God's mysterious love in a very tangible and concrete form. As shawls are completed, they are given to a member of the clergy. Shawls are blessed and then wait for a person who needs the comfort and blessing of such a shawl. Instructions and information about prayer shawls is kept in the Rev. Dcn. Mooydeen Frees' mailbox in the parish office.

Stephen Ministers are members of St. Timothy's who have gone through 50 hours of training in providing high-quality Christian care to individuals experiencing a crisis or challenge such as divorce, death of a loved one, loss of a job, hospitalization, miscarriage/infertility issues, relocation, or loneliness. Stephen Ministers are assigned a care receiver and meet one-to-one for about one hour a week for a period of time as needed.
