Friendship Meals
Jesus and his followers in the early church frequently shared meals and in the process,
built community and removed boundaries among people from different walks of life.
We follow in this tradition with regularly scheduled meals. For example …
St. Timothys Hosts Block Party July 31, 2008
Come join us on Thursday, July 31 from 6:00 to 7:00 pm
when we welcome our neighbors who live in our neighborhood.
We'll cook hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill and turn on the hospitality.
We will eat indoors to avoid the bugs and enjoy the air conditioning.
The scheduling of our party is to coordinate with a nation-wide emphasis on
having porch parties on August 1.
Supper Club - Monthly on Sunday Evenings
Once a month, everyone is invited to get together at a local restaurant for
Sunday supper and fellowship. It's a time to just kick back, relax, let
somebody else do the cooking, and catch up on what's been going on with each
other. Participants take turns making arrangements and announcing the event.
Watch Tims Tales and the Sunday bulletins for date/time announcements.
Friendship Breakfast Group - Bi-monthly on Wednesdays
This group of primarily retired persons meets for breakfast and fellowship at
the Cedar Falls Happy Chef on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month at 8:30 a.m.

Neighborhood Block Party - Annually in the summer
Usually held around August 1, 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 - Annually in early autumn
In the fall, many volunteers from our church 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.
Shrove Tuesday - Annually the Tuesday night before Lent begins
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.
