A note from the Senior Warden

What an eventful vestry term we have before us!  As I complete my first month serving as senior warden this year, I realize it is going to be a very different experience than when I served in 2020. 
Now we are in the midst of transition instead of just starting it.  Thank you to our dedicated clergy and staff!  Now we have lived through the most stringent Covid-19 restrictions instead of just starting them and are even cautiously relaxing selected limits.  Now we have a solid video system and knowledgeable teams in place for broadcasting services, instead of just starting.  This all feels like good news to me! 
We have a very committed and effective discernment team working hard to find our new rector.  What a huge undertaking that is!  As we approach the in-person interview phase of this process, we should all continue to support these hearty souls with our prayers and praise.
Gladly it’s time for spring to be arriving soon—my brave jonquils are already beginning to poke up.  Probably it’s only choir members and our spirited director, Mark Scholtz, who fully remember that winter has chosen Thursday to be a key day for snow and ice this year! You see, Thursday evenings are when we have our choir rehearsals, and we’ve stayed safely at home more than once instead of venturing out to St. Tim’s to prepare together.  Better safe than sorry—thank you, Mark, for coming up with ways to stretch other times instead.
As we head into Lent, we realize that, yes, we are in the midst of unique times for St. Timothy’s.  What will we add to what we already love about this parish and this church?  God is listening to our prayers.
