Christian Formation at St. Timothy’s
|
|
At St. Timothy's we believe Christian formation and education is a lifelong process, therefore we offer classes and Bible studies for all ages. All our classes are open to visitors. Our Associate Rector, the Reverend Camie Dewey, oversees all Christian Formation.
Children's and Youth Classes
Children and Youth meet on Sundays, September through May, in the upper and lower classrooms of the Education Wing. We offer small group classes for children ages 4 through 18. Students learn about Bible lessons, work on crafts and projects, and discuss current issues.
Adult Forum
On most Sunday mornings, we welcome a great variety of guest speakers, theologians, service agencies, and local ministries to help us understand more fully our faith in action. Since Spring 2020, we have provided these sessions online via Zoom and have recorded many for later viewing on our YouTube channel.
Wednesday Morning Lectionary Bible Study
Every Wednesday morning via Zoom from 7 to 8 a.m., all are invited to come for engaging discussion based on the weekly lectionary readings.
Nursery
On Sunday mornings, we have a professionally staffed nursery available for children ages 4 and under located on the upper level of the Education Wing.
