Dear Friends of St. Timothy's:
Sending along a few pieces of information, as I do on Thursdays.

WORSHIP
We currently offer five services each week--four are streamed online, and one is in person, for those who feel comfortable gathering together.
Sunday
:
8am we will open the doors for Morning Prayer, Rite I. We have 22 "booths" for seating, and members of a household can sit together. We can accommodate somewhere between 22 and 44 persons at this service. By way of a reminder, everyone
must
wear a mask, so please bring your own if possible--we will have a limited supply available if you forget. Everyone
must
enter through the parking lot doors, and provide contact information (if we don't already have it).
10am, we will stream Morning Prayer, Rite II. (This service will only be available online, due to restrictions against singing together.) Service outline
HERE
, and hymns
HERE
.
Tuesday
and
Thursday
: We will continue to stream The Great Litany and sung Compline at 7pm, on Facebook and at our website.
Wednesday
: at 12:30pm, we feature one of our lovely stained-glass windows with prayers, and musical accompaniment by Choirmaster Andrew Bolden. (Only on our
Facebook
page.)
More information on all our services can be found at the
Calendar
page of our Website.

WEEKLY PUZZLE
This week's puzzle features our Music Window. You will find the puzzle by clicking
HERE
. You can choose your background color, number of puzzle pieces, and even set it to display just the edge pieces. Plus, you get a very affirming crowd reaction once you have completed it!
Why is this particular window in our Chapel?
When our current building was completed in 1898, the organ loft was located in the southeast corner of the sanctuary (the original pipes remain, but are no longer in use). In 1909, the organ was moved behind the pulpit, and this space became the Baptistry, featuring our new font. In 1952, the font was moved to its current location, and the organ loft, turned Baptistry, became the Chapel of the Resurrection, dedicated "in honor of those who served and are serving in the Armed Forces from this parish." So, that's why our chapel has a window depicting musical instruments.

HELPFUL VIDEO
If you are wondering or questioning why we have such very strict rules about gathering indoors, you may find
this short video
worth your time. (It's about 17 minutes.) I can give you a spoiler alert: It's all about the aerosols.

|
I know these times are difficult and frustrating. And I know how much we all miss seeing each other on a regular basis. I hope you are keeping your spirits up, and if there is any way I can be helpful, please don't hesitate to be in touch.
Sending you peace.
Fr. George
