BIBLE STUDY
Thursdays: 7:00—8:30 PM in Room 107
Our Bible Study this year will consist of three major sections. While you are encouraged to attend all sessions, the three sections can stand alone, so if you can attend only one or two parts, you can profit from the experience.
Section 2 — The Book of Jonah
(October 30):
Really the Word of God?
Only a big fish story?
What about the worm?
Complaining about the way God works
The great Message of Jonah
Section 3 — The Dead Sea Scrolls (November 6):
What are the Dead Sea Scrolls?
What are they all about?
Why don’t we hear more about them?
Why are they important?
What can we learn from them?
Join us and bring a friend. Cost: item(s) for the
Food Shelf.

Christian Initiation of Adults - Journey in Faith
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process by which adults are welcomed into the Catholic Church. This includes unbaptized adults, adults baptized in another Christian denomination, and theose baptized in the Catholic Church who have not celebrated Confirmation or First Eucharist.
From the end of October through April, inquirers meet weekly for faith formation and instruction in the Catholic tradition. Throughout the process, the inquirers discern their readiness for he Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist). These sacraments are celebrated at the Easter Vigil.

The Labyrinth
The labyrinth is an ancient symbol representing wholeness that is over 3,500 years old. When this symbol is transferred to the ground and walked with purpose, we are discovering a long forgotten mystical tradition. Walking the labyrinth has re-emerged today as a metaphor for the spiritual journey and a powerful tool for transformation. Watch the bulletin for the labyrinth events.

Bookstore/Gift Shop
As a service to the members of St. Timothy, we attempt to provide you with an excellent choice of books for continued growth in faith and gifts for those special occasions. New items are added regularly. The Bookstore is located in the Parish Center just off the reception area. It is open after each of the Sunday Masses and during regular Parish Office hours.
