Interfaith Hospitality Network: 2/26 to 3/4: Volunteers Needed

2012-02-02T17:12:46Z

The Interfaith Hospitality Network is a group of churches who take turns hosting homeless families who are part of the network. Families sleep and eat breakfast and dinner at the host churches for a period of one week before moving on to another host congregation. During the day, children go to school. Adults go to work or search for work or housing with the assistance of IHN staff. Each host congregation is responsible for providing meals, evening activities, and sleeping accommodations for the guests. All of this work is done by volunteers from the host parishes. St. Timothy's hosts families four times per year. Our next hosting date is February 26 - March 4. Please click here for a description of volunteer opportunities. To signup, click here. For more information about the Interfaith Hospitality Network, visit www.ihncincinnati.org

Help Rebuild Trinity Cathedral in Haiti

2012-01-17T21:53:02Z

A diocesan-wide effort to help rebuild Trinity Cathedral in Haiti has begun. Our Diocesan Conventon offering from November combined with contributions from individuals and churches have already put us on our way to the challenge goal of $60,000!

When you "buy a brick" ($10 donation) for Trinity Cathedral, you join congregations and faith communities in our diocese who are helping rebuild the center of spiritual and practical support for nearly 100,000 Episcopalians in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.

“Rebuild the Church in Haiti” is a national, grass-roots effort of the Episcopal Church to lift up one of our own dioceses after a year of crushing natural disasters.

When you are ready to send in your donation, please make checks payable to St. Timothy's with "Rebuild our Church" in the memo. You may put it in the offering plate or send it to St. Timothy's at 8101 Beechmont Ave, Cincinnati, OH, 45255. The donations will be forwarded to The Episcopal Church Foundation. If you wish to donate securely online, visit www.diosohio.org/haiti where you will find even more information about the Rebuild Our Church project.
