The Church from her very early days, even from New Testament times, has given honor, praise and devotion to the Mother of Our Lord. Down through the ages, prayers and adoration of Saint Mary have been a source of help and strength in the life of the Church and have resulted in deepened love and devotion to Jesus for millions of faithful Christians. Who better to invoke than the one who was closest to Jesus through His birth, life, death and Resurrection than Mary? She is quite rightly honored by the Church as one who will intercede for us before the throne of Christ. Devotion given Our Lady goes straight to Our Lord. We are fortunate to have one of the superiors of The Society of Mary, a devotional society in the Anglican Communion, as our preacher today, our own Father Martin.

Improve the world for as little as 2 hours a month! Sound too good to be true? It’s not. Volunteers are needed to lead our Church School classes. We provide the eager children, prepared lesson plans, activities and the classroom. Your commitment of one Sunday a month will help teach the leaders of tomorrow about Christ’s love and teachings. I can’t think of many other opportunities to share your time that is this important. If you would like to learn more about volunteering in our Children’s Chapel and Church School, please contact Grace Hurst at 790-1758 or Father James at 787-7590.

The Asher Scholarship was established in memory of Bobby Asher at St. Timothy’s. The sole purpose is to help aid children, whose families are members of the church, who demonstrate a financial need in attending St. Timothy’s School. To date, the scholarship has assisted six different children in obtaining a quality education in our award winning school. The Bobby Asher Golf Classic is the Men’s Fellowship’s way of demonstrating their support for the children of our church community, in receiving the very best educational foundation.

The Bobby Asher Golf Classic will be held on Saturday, September 27th at the Riverwood Golf Club in Clayton at 12 Noon. The cost is $60.00 per player which includes golf, cart, driving range, prizes and a catered meal.
