Easter Egg Hunt
Easter Egg Hunt
The Sunday School will hold its annual Easter Egg Hunt on Easter, April 20th, in the courtyard after the 10 AM service. If it’s rainy or muddy, we’ll move the hunt indoors to the Parish Hall. The hunt is for preschoolers through 6thgraders, including out-of-town guests, newcomers, and visitors.
If you’d like to participate, please:
RSVP either on the bulletin board outside the kitchen or by e-mailing or phoning Susan Winters (grwii@roadrunner.com, 412-780-1048). We’ll accommodate walk-ins, but it helps to know about how many to expect.
During Sunday School egg hunters will be able to decorate a bag to collect eggs.
Wear clothes that you’d like to be photographed in. We’ll have not only “egg hunting” shots, but also shots of family groups. We’ll e-mail photos after Easter, so be sure we have your email address.
We’d like to have students from 7thgrade through high school help with the hunt. We’ll need help around 9:15 with hiding eggs, and during the hunt they can help the youngest children with their hunting. We’ll have a bag of candy as a thank you for any older student who helps.

Fellowship Event: Pizza and Palms Sidewalk Chalking
Join us on April 12 at 5:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall for a Pizza and Sidewalk Chalking Party. While this is a very family friendly event, all are welcome as we use our creativity to decorate the main entrance with chalk palm art the night before our Palm Sunday services.
Contact Sara Ebright, saramcdavis@gmail.com, to RSVP or if you have any questions or sign up on the bulletin board. Please let us know if anyone has food allergies and we'll do our best to accommodate.

Compline Service
St. Tim’s offers candlelit, chanted Compline services on the second Tuesday of the month at 8pm, September–April.
The term “Compline” derives from the Latin completorium—completion of the working day. As the bedtime prayers of the church, Compline tends to be a contemplative experience that emphasizes quietness, reflection, and spiritual peace. In many convents and monasteries, it is customary to begin the “Great Silence” after Compline, during which the whole community, including guests, observes silence throughout the night until the morning service the next day. Our offering of Compline seeks to keep this contemplative spirit.
Our service follows the Order for Compline laid out in the Book of Common Prayer and is chanted by a small schola of singers. We begin and end with silence. The entire service lasts approximately 30 minutes. Congregants are welcome to join in the chanting as noted in the service bulletin or to worship in meditative silence.

Coffee Hour Presentation: The Cocoon
During coffee hour after the 10 o'clock service The Cocoon's Executive Director and Development Director will be at St. Tim's to tell us "What's New at The Cocoon." The Cocoon, which is an outreach of St. Tim's, is Wood County's comprehensive domestic and sexual violence agency providing shelter and advocacy services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, sex trafficking, stalking, and adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Please join them for the presentation and a special coffee hour.

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper
Join us for this church tradition! The pancake supper will begin at 6:00 pm in the parish hall. All are welcome and food and drinks will be provided. There will also be crafts for the kids.
Why do we eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday?
It was traditional in many societies to make foods with butter, eggs and fat that would need to be used up before the beginning of Lent. Another delicious example of this is pączki. The specific custom of Anglican Christians eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday dates all the way back to the 16th century, when the church bells would ring at noon, signaling to folks that it was time to fry up their pancakes. The tradition of racing with pancakes is said to come from running to church after cooking the last cake. In the UK Shrove Tuesday is known as Pancake Tuesday!
March Madness - Saints Edition Kick Off
We will be playing March (Lent) Madness - The Saints Edition, starting Sunday, March 2.
Outside of the Parish Hall you will see our brackets on 2 large bulletin boards.
There are 64 saints listed with a very brief description, matched up against each other.
Vote for your favorite of the 2 by placing a tally mark next to them. Vote for as many different match-ups as you would like.
The next week we will take the top 32 to move on to the next round and pair them up with another winning saint. This will go all the way through Easter.
Whichever saint comes out on top we will celebrate with a coffee hour themed after them and will celebrate their next feast day.
Have fun!
