Special Events at St. Tims

Consult Tims Tales (newsletter), the monthly calendar, and weekly announcements for specific details on these and other special events at St. Timothys.

500 (Card Game) Marathon
Beat those cabin fever blues! The 500 Marathon is an annual card playing event, taking place the third Sunday evening of the months of January, February, March, and April. 16 to 24 couples meet in each other's homes to play, snack, and socialize for the first three rounds. The final round in April is held en masse at the church with a potluck preceding the games. It is a great way to get acquainted. Knowing how to play 500 is NOT required. Some of the more seasoned players will be happy to teach beginners.

Shrove Tuesday
Shrove Tuesday (aka Mardi Gras) is a time when Christians prepared for the beginning of their fasting and meditation during the season of Lent. So they tried to use up the last bits of fat in their cooking. Hence the tradition of our pancake supper, along with games and merriment.

Church League Softball
St. Timothys sponsors a slow-pitch softball team that plays in a church league on Monday nights at Birdsall Park in Cedar Falls. Games start in April and end in early August. This league is intended to be a recreational and social league, but it is also competitive. Men and women at least 16 years old are invited to play. Spectators are invited too. If you are interested in playing, contact Al Yakish.

Neighborhood Block Party
Held annually around the first of August, all St. Timothys members, friends, and people from the neighborhood are invited to come and share a potluck meal and time for fellowship.

Annual Pork Dinner
In the fall, many volunteers join forces to hold our Annual Pork Dinner. Pork loins and burgers are the traditional fare, along with baked potatoes, salads, and desserts, AND entertainment. Proceeds are used to support local organizations working toward social justice in the community.

Trick or Trunking
Trick or Trunking has become an annual Halloween event at St. Timothys. It's a great alternative to house-to-house trick-or-treat, and lets the adults get in the act too. And there's a serious side - the children also use this time to Trick or Treat for unicef.

Children's Gift Making
Children are invited to come on a Sunday afternoon in early December to make gifts for their parents or other special people in their lives. The gifts are a well-kept secret, and it's a great way for children to learn about the value of giving. In addition, parents get an afternoon off to shop!

Christmas Caroling
In December, the choir takes a break from rehearsals and invites one and all to go caroling around town at the residences of our older members and shut-ins.
