Spotlight: Ministry of Racial Reconciliation
St. Timothy’s Ministry of Racial Reconciliation is a ministry of the heart. A ministry
of changing our hearts in order to change the hearts of others. To “love one another” and respect one another so that we may join together and change the world…one heart at a time. Please contact Tony Corey if you are interested in joining this ministry.
Our Vision
As Christians living out our Baptismal covenant, we see a path toward our reconciliation to God by challenging racism in ourselves and in society.
We see a future in which:
- We, as individuals, have grown into collaborative participants in advancing human dignity for all;
- The culture of St. Timothy’s more fully reflects genuine sharing across diverse racial, cultural and economic groups;
- St. Timothy’s is an integral part of a purposeful reconciliation process in neighboring communities and in the St. Louis Metropolitan area;
- Racism no longer limits human potential.
Our Mission
The purpose of our Ministry is to facilitate the dismantling of racism by creating greater awareness, understanding and commitment through our discussions, education, experiences and actions. This Ministry follows the guidance of the Diocesan Commission for Dismantling Racism. Click here to learn more: https://www.diocesemo.org/dismantling-racism-commission/
Prayer for Reconciliation
O God, you have bound us together in a common life. Help us, in the midst of our struggles for justice and truth, to confront one another without hatred or bitterness, and to work together with mutual forbearance and respect;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Spotlight: Music Ministry Evensong
The Office of Evensong is sung at the close of each day in cathedrals, collegiate chapels, monastic communities, and parish churches throughout the Anglican Communion. Derived from the ancient offices of Vespers and Compline, it is a service of rare beauty offered through the singing of psalms and canticles, the reading of scripture, and prayer. This liturgy of sung prayer has been offered daily throughout the Christian era and it enables us to join with all those who have gone before, those today who offer their evening prayers, and those who will continue their sung praise, petitions, and thanksgivings in times to come.
The worshipper offers praise through association with the Choir and sits awash in sung prayer as it resonates throughout the sacred space. Natural time is suspended as word and music combine to capture the holy rhythms of the spheres and the worshipper is transported beyond chronological time to a place where creation and eternity coalesce into one.
