Serving Others

Caring for One Another

We believe that showing up for one another—especially in times of change, loss, or uncertainty—is one of the most faithful things a community can do.

Some care happens in formal ways, and much of it happens through simple acts of presence, listening, and shared life. Whether you’re walking through a difficult season or supporting someone who is, you don’t have to do it alone.

Stephen Ministry

Stephen Ministers are trained members of our congregation who offer one-to-one, confidential support through regular check-ins. They are thoughtful listeners who accompany people through seasons when extra care is helpful—times of grief, transition, illness, stress, or uncertainty.

Stephen Ministers don’t try to fix things. They listen deeply, reflect honestly, ask clarifying questions, and walk alongside people with compassion and steadiness. If forgiveness, reconciliation, or discernment are part of what someone is navigating, Stephen Ministers can help hold that space as well.

If you think this kind of support might be helpful for you or someone you love, please reach out to the church office to begin a conversation.

Prayer Requests

Prayer is a central way we care for one another as a community. Requests for prayer—for yourself or for someone you love—may be shared by emailing our prayer coordinator or by writing them on a prayer card at church.

Each Sunday, these names and concerns are lifted aloud by our intercessors during worship, held gently in the prayers of the community.

Alcoholics Anonymous

St. Timothy’s hosts two Alcoholics Anonymous meetings each week, on Tuesday and Saturday evenings. These gatherings are part of our commitment to being a place of welcome, support, and safety for the wider community as well as our parish.

Meal Trains

When someone is welcoming a new child, recovering from surgery, or navigating a difficult season, parishioners often organize meal trains to offer practical care and connection. These shared meals are a simple way to remind one another that help is nearby and no one is forgotten.
