St. Timothy’s offers a variety of inspiring worship experiences. Each Sunday morning service of Rite I, Rite II and Rite III is different in tone, yet connected with one another through the orderly liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer. The congregation is encouraged to “travel” to all the services rather than becoming three sub-congregations.
These three services offer numerous opportunities for the people of St. Timothy’s to use their gifts to enhance and lead the worship as they follow their call to serve as:
Acolyte – persons sixth grade and older who serve at the altar and assist the priest
Altar Guild – responsible for the sacred vessels, vestments and appearance of the worship space.
Choirs – lead the congregation in singing
Intercessor – leads the prayers of the people
Instrumentalists – leads the music at the services
Eucharistic Minister – serves the chalice and assists at the altar
Eucharistic Visitor – brings communion to the homebound
Worship Leader – leads services of Morning or Evening Prayer
Lector – proclaims the Scripture lessons
Oblationers – brings the bread and wine to the altar
Usher – provides hospitality and oversees well-being of congregation
Special Services are celebrated during all the days of Holy Week. We also have offered services of Evensong, and a Taize service of healing in Lent.
Anointing for healing is offered during the Communion time on the first Sunday of the month.
