Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, and Acolytes
Laypeople assist the rector during the worship service in a variety of ways. A short training period is required. Laypeople assist according to a calendar available in the church office.
Choir
The Choir is one of the oldest groups at St. Timothy's and enhances the 11 am worship service by leading hymns and service music and contributing anthems appropriate to the Church season. The Choir also is a vital part of the "Lessons and Carols" and Epiphany programs. Sometimes major works such as Handel's "Hallelujah," Faure's "Requiem," and Douglas's "Easter Cantata" are presented as part of a service. Choir practices are at 6 pm on Wednesdays, August through June.
Daughters of the King
Originally founded at St. Timothy's in 1921, today's Daughters are focused on spiritual growth and daily prayer for others. The DOK sponsors an annual Quiet Day and hosts various Diocesan DOK meetings. DOK meets the third Tuesday of each month at 6 pm. To learn more about DOK, click here.
