What to Expect
Worship is central to our identity as people of faith and is at the core of our life together at St. Timothy. Visit us on a Saturday evening or Sunday morning to experience creative liturgy that centers on meeting God through word and sacrament.
Children are a beloved part of our community. Children’s sermons are offered during Sunday service and Sunday School is offered for children 4 years of age through 5th grade during the School Year. Books, games, and activity bags are available in the Narthex for your use. We also have a staffed nursery during our 9:30am Sunday service for children 3 years old and younger.
During Worship, we have a number of resources available to help make worship a positive and inclusive experience for all. For folks who need a quiet, private space, but would like to still be a part of worship, you can watch the service live-streamed in our Serenity Room. We also have electronic hearing devices for those who have trouble hearing the service and noise-dampening headphones for the sound-sensitive.
Communion is celebrated at all weekly services. We believe that the communion table is the Lord’s table, not ours, and so ALL are welcome – whether you are a believer, seeker, and doubter, or belong to a different denomination. For children who have not yet received their first communion or for those who are not ready to commune yet, but would desire a blessing during communion, simply approach the front of the line with your arms crossed over your chest. We have gluten-free wafers, wine, and juice available.

Worship Volunteers:
Become an important part of worship by serving as a worship assistant, communion server, reader, usher, greeter or acolyte. No experience is necessary, and training will be provided as needed. Serving the church is a wonderful expression of faith and love for our God and his people. If you are interested in volunteering in any capacity or have questions, please contact our church office at office@sttimothylutheran.com or call 630.355.1330.
Communion Team
The Communion team currently has 12 members who are responsible for preparing, setting up, and cleaning up the communion elements for our worship services. Each week two people volunteer to serve for the weekend. Set up takes about 45 minutes and clean up about 30 minutes with a refresh either after the Saturday service or before the Sunday service. Contact the Church Office 630.355.1330 or office@sttimothylutheran.com with any questions.
Bread Baking Team
Join our team of bread bakers! We provide homemade communion bread for worship each weekend and other special services. Bake the bread at home, and bring it to church in time for the Saturday evening worship. Bread can be left overnight in the Sacristy for Sunday worship. We use two simple recipes, so you have a choice! Depending on the size of the bread baking team, each baker could provide bread once every two months or so. We would love to have you join our team! Contact: Diane Kroeger kroeger.diane@yahoo.com.
Liturgical Arts
The Liturgical Arts Committee sets up displays to enrich the worship experience on special days in the church year including Advent/Christmas, Lent/Easter. The committee meets in September to make plans for the upcoming year and monthly as needed. We would love to have you join our team! Contact: Ruth LaCroix at
