St. Timothy Ministry Guide: Outreach
The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. Matthew 25:40
Reaching out to those in need is an integral part of the congregational life at St. Timothy. Creating an awareness and sharing our gifts, talents and resources with those who are vulnerable, hungry, lonely, homeless, sick or living in poverty is integrated into many of our ministries. We focus both on those in need in our own community as well as helping others around the world.

The Tabitha Project
The Tabitha Project was born from a group of individuals who REALLY want to make a difference in the lives of the people living in our surrounding communities. We want to reach out and help our community brothers and sisters with projects around the house, providing a ride to a doctor’s visit, picking up some groceries, or lending a hand with helping a younger brother and sister with tutoring or sports training. No matter how small we are willing to lend a hand with a special need. We want to bring back the love and care that built this nation’s communities and has been rapidly unraveling through the years. God’s love shines in all of us and when we share it among our brothers and sisters it becomes brighter. Brightening lives of others and giving a little hope and understanding is the foundation of The Tabitha Project. If you are interested in learning more about The Tabitha Project, or would like to volunteer - just click on this link above to see our website.
