Rave reviews for this year's Senior Celebration at St.Timothy's! About 70 parishioners age 60 and over gathered on Sunday, April 15 in the Parish Hall for coffee, dessert, and a special presentation of the musical comedy "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee." The production was brought to us by the Indian Hill High School Theater Department, with musical director Phil Clary, who is also St.Timothy's organist and choir director. Two unsuspecting audience members - Rector Roger Greene (who is, by the way, not actually old enough to attend) and long time parishioner Jerry Eichert - were corralled into the show. The two were eliminated from the Spelling Bee in very short order.

This spring, St. Timothy's launched a Whiz Kids program at nearby Mercer Elementary School for 30 children who need support learning to read. Every other Tuesday, our volunteers provide an after school snack, activity, dinner and one hour of one on one reading tutoring. The students and volunteers truly delight in each other.

St. Timothy’s volunteers helped host three homeless families at Comboni Mission Center, including 8 children aged 4 to 12. Families and volunteers alike were nourished and rejuvenated on many levels. The week included an evening of music and fun activities with parishioner Wayne Luessen and free massages from a volunteer massage therapist!

Parishioners of all ages came to celebrate St. Timothy's 1st annual Mardi Gras Celebration with an evening of beads, masks, creole food, and fun!

Hundreds of community members enjoyed the warm hospitality at St. Timothy’s during a recently hosted Mobile Food Pantry. The Parish Hall and nearby hallways where people waited were abuzz with conversation and an uplifting mood of care and connections. Clients left with cartfuls of groceries and smiles. Many thanks to all, volunteers and clients, who joined in making the day a work in Christ’s love. The next Mobile Food Pantry to be held at St. Timothy's will be May 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. If you are interested in volunteering, please look for sign up sheets on the bulletin board in May.

Great fun! (More photos coming soon!)

Fifteen teens and adult leaders from St. Timothy's were at El Hogar June 4-11.

St Tim's has a Special Place for Teens! Beginning in the Fall of 2007 St. Timothy's teens found a new but bare wooden chair in their meeting space. The chairs represent the teen's special place at St Timothy's. The teens spent hours designing and painting their special chair which will be used weekly during their class time. The painting experiences gave the teens a chance to bond with each other as well as express their personal style. When they cannot be in the class the chair is a reminder to their classmates to pray for them. These chairs will go with the teens as they continue their life journey as a reminder of their family at St. Timothy's.
