Children
St. Tim's welcomes children to worship at all times. Some families with infants and toddlers have their children stay in the sanctuary throughout the worship service, while others use the nursery for all or part of the worship service. The 9 a.m. Holy Eucharist on Sundays has children's music, sermon, and ways to participate throughout the service. The nursery is staffed with free professional caregivers from 7:45 a.m. - noon on Sunday mornings. We also have worship bags with quiet activities for children in the bags on the shelves inside the sanctuary doors for families to use whenever they need.
