Who we are
Nothing in this world lasts forever. In this world of finitude, things begin, they live, and then they end. Such is the nature of life this side of eternity. Even churches have endings. In 1990, the parish of All Hallows, situated on Main Street, amalgamated with St. Columba’s on St. Clair Ave. East, the next parish to the north.
This past spring (2014), the combined parish of All Hallows and St. Columba was disestablished.
All Hallows always had a history of placing a high value on beauty and with the closing of the combined parish many worship articles of great beauty were left without a home. From these, St. Timothy’s has been given two lovely gifts: a truly beautiful suite of rose vestments and altar decorations and a set of two cruets.
This Advent, as we approach Gaudete Sunday, we will unveil the rose suite. Now, however, we are going to begin using the cruets. Dedicated to God’s glory as memorials in 1920, these cruets of glass with silver adornment are indeed beautiful.
As we take custody of these gifts, we are reminded that the one thing in this world that will not end until Jesus returns in great glory is the Body of Christ. And so we, now as the Body of Christ gathered at St. Timothy’s lovingly with thanksgiving, take these signs of the faithfulness of God’s people from the parish of All Hallows and St. Columba. We shall continue to use them for God’s glory, and the building up of God’s people.

Teach me
Teach me, O God, to use all the circumstances of my life to-day that they may bring forth in me the fruits of holiness rather than the fruits of sin. Let me use disappointment as material for patience: Let me use success as material for thankfulness: Let me use suspence as material for perseverance: Let me use danger as material for courage: Let me use reproach as material for longsuffering: Let me use praise as material for humility: Let me use pleasures as material for temperance: Let me use pains as material for endurance.
