STEWARDSHIP St. Timothy’s Pledge Drive has officially closed but not ended. To date we have received 49 pledges (of 110 parishioners) for a total amount pledged of $173 260. We still have a way to go before we reach our goal of $314,000. Members of the Stewardship Committee are in the process of writing a personal “thank-you” note to each parishioner who has submitted a pledge. In the thank-you note we remind each parishioner how your gift to our 2020 budget funds one of the many vital ministries of St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church. It brings great joy to each committee member’s heart to write these thank-you notes. In doing so, the notes personally connect each of us with each of you. If you have not yet completed and submitted a pledge card in support of our 2020 budget, please do so today. Members of the Stewardship Committee truly believe in our theme for this year’s pledge drive—Loving God by Loving our Neighbor. We also recognize that this is a transformational time in the history of St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church. In addressing this moment in our history, we are committed to bringing all parishioners on board as a faith community to work collectively in meeting the many needs of St. Tim’s parishioners and members of the greater Greenville community. It is in reaching out to and helping others that WE experience the rewards of loving our neighbor in ways we never expected. In doing so we are blessed beyond all measure. The Stewardship Committee is hosting NEIGHBORHOOD MOVIE NIGHT on Friday, <strong>November</strong> 8, 5:30-7:30pm in thanksgiving for all our gifts, especially the beautiful campus that we have been entrusted to use for ministry. Please invite your friends to this community event and come prepared to have fun with other families while veiwing Disney's Moana The movie and popcorn are free but we will have some drinks and pizza for purchase. Please bring cash if you think you will be hungry, or, unlike a local theater, you are more than welcome to bring food of your own as well as beach chairs, beach blankets & pillows or whatever you need to be comfortable. A special thanks to John Crawford and AuburnAV for donating all the equipment and labor needed for this event. 5
L O B S T E R F A I R Congratulations on another smashing success in the books! Every generation would declare this year's Lobster Fair a smashing success having provided a wonderful event for the community and raised the funds we need to continue to invest in meaningful outreach. Thanks goes out to all of the people that gave so much of their time and talent to make this year run so smoothly. A special word of thanks goes out to Frank Cassiano who returned to chair his second Lobster fair this year after stepping last year to relieve Bibb Baugh after many years at the helm. The Lobster Fair really only works with the shared leadership of new and returning volunteers. In a very intentional effort to insure we are doing what we need to do to incorporate not only new volunteers, but also new leaders, next year's chairs have already been sought out and are ready to begin their work. It is my joy to announce that Joyce Wittman and Marie Cooper have taken on the responsibity of co-charing next year's event. Joyce and Marie will not only have the work and responsibility of the Lobster Fair deligated to their care, but the freedom to work with the vestry and other church leadership to reinvision how this event can even more fullly reflect the mission and values of St. Timothy's. Make your suggestions known and be a part of shaping Lobster Fair 2020. A D U L T F O R M A T I O N Programs offered this far have been well received. Weekly guest speakers are contributing excellent information, in keeping with the theme, Loving God By Loving our Neighbors . <strong>November</strong> will feature a focus on Interfaith worship and include speakers from Muslim, Jewish and other Christian perspectives. Rev Bob Hudak will share thoughts and perspective on what it is like to be disciples of Jesus in Interfaith Community. Adult Formation is committed to offering programs that deepen you understanding of our faith, our work, and assist you in discerning and understanding God’s call to you. If you are not present, you are missing out on living a full Christian life. 6
