If You Are New Here!
Newcomer’s Free Gift
If you Are new here we invite you to pick up a gift (a free
book) and a Welcome Packet in the front hall.
Connection Cards
We invite you to fill out a Connection Card found in the
pew by providing as much information as you feel
comfortable giving us. Then place the card in the
Offering Plates when they are passed around.
A Crying Room or Nursery is Available
We welcome your children to remain in the church with
us, but we also have both a cry room and a nursery
available when needed. The nursery is located in the
Youth Education wing (follow the signs or ask for
directions) and the cry room is located in the hallway
near the name tag table. The nursery will give you a
pager in case you are needed during the service.
Children’s chapel is also available for children ages
4-10 following the children’s sermon during the 11am
service. They will return at communion.
Coffee and Refreshments After Each Service
Join us after church for refreshments in the Parish Hall,
just a short walk down the hallway and past the
offices.

Podcasts of our sermons and much more informa5on
about St. Timothy’s is available on our web site at

The St. Timothy’s Vision
We do not believe in rules—
we believe in tradition.
We do not offer entertainment—
we offer worship.
We do not teach passing fads-we teach biblical faith.
We do not trust in ourselves—
we trust in Christ Jesus.
We do not seek members for our club—
we seek brothers and sisters at God's Table
About Us!
Is Your Vote a Chris,an Responsibility?
Vo5ng is a God-given, blood-bought right that
Chris5ans must take seriously. We are called by our
Lord Jesus con5nuously to be preserving salt and
illumina5ng light in our world. But Do I as a
Chris5an Have a Duty to Vote? That is a
determina5on you must personally and prayerfully
make. But consider that in the past four elec5ons,
a respected na5onal polling organiza5on has
reported that Chris5an vo5ng has declined by 40
percent. They es5mate that 60 million Chris5ans
no longer exercise their right to vote! Scripture
tells us, "Righteousness exalts a na5on." (Proverbs
14:34) And a na5on’s righteousness comes from His
people overcoming apathy and standing ﬁrm in the
face of evil. Proverbs 29:2 tells us, "When the
righteous rule, the people rejoice (and) when the
wicked rule, the people groan." God doesn't take
sides; we need to make sure we're on His side!
When Moses commanded the Israelites to appoint
God-fearing leaders, he wasn't just challenging a
handful of ci5zens who felt like geFng involved. His
message was for all of God’s people. Chris5ans
today face the same challenge to choose leaders
who love and fear God. In our modern world, free
ci5zens act as God's agents; we do it on our knees,
as His disciples, and also as His agents in America’s
vo5ng booths by expressing our Christ following
world view through our selec5on of our
governmental leaders. We cannot ul5mately
control outcomes, but we can have faith that God's
will and His Kingdom will not be thwarted. As
Chris5ans, we must pray boldly that He will
empower His church to be a faithful witness in
every part of society. We must resist apathy . . . act
. . . and trust our Heavenly Father with the results.
So please exercise your right, your privilege and
your blessings from above. It is 5me to stand up
and be counted! GET REGISTERED/GET
INFORMED/GET INVOLVED/GET TO THE POLLS.

We Welcome You
To St. Timothy’s!
We are delighted that you have chosen to
worship God with our family. Should you
have any questions about the Service, do
not hesitate to ask someone sitting next to
you. We are very glad to help.
Being a church within the Anglican Church
in North America, and within the Diocese of the
Western Gulf Coast, our mission is to remain a
faithful part of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic
Church, as we acknowledge Christ to be her one and
only Head. We recognize the Holy Eucharist to be the
central liturgical norm of the Church, while we
provide quality Christian education for both children
and adults as we continue to care for the physical,
spiritual and pastoral needs of all our members, and
those in the community around us.
