Sunday schedule changes - Jan 25
Sunday’s Plan
Due to the consistent prediction of sleet/ice for this weekend, the Sunday schedule is altered according the following:
Possibly one mass only at 11am.
We do not want to completely cancel the mass schedule in case the forecast changes. Fr Luke and I have a reasonable and safe plan for transportation. Whether or not you are able to attend is secondary to our call to celebrate the Eucharist and unite our petitions for the community and the world with the sacrifice of Christ. We trust you will follow the guidance of good sense and what is safe. Please be smart.
If Fr Luke and I are unable to make it to St Timothy’s (we are going to be smart, too), we will still offer mass from our homes. We will have mass kits with us and will pray for the living and the dead and all in the path of this storm. If we are unable to make it to church, a notice will be placed on the St Timothy’s Facebook page.
Will it be streamed? Possibly. This depends on the status of power and other considerations.
If you are iced in, please read the bulletins and reflect on the readings. Consider the wisdom St Paul imparts to his spiritual son, St Timothy. Reflect on the unique mission and witness of this parish and pray that we may continue to increase, both in our work and number.
Please support the work of the parish. Even if you are able to attend, the police officers are finding St Timothy’s a place for refreshment and refreshments. The Our Lady of Salem Shelter for Women has not closed. And prayer has not ceased.
One more thing, if you have a 4WD vehicle and are willing to assist our brothers and sisters if they find themselves in trouble or need, will you email me? Please also check in on those in our midst who will be particularly vulner able without power. I thinking especially of our older parishioners who may not have family in Winston-Salem to take care of them. If you know of someone who needs supplies or other pressing needs, call me (336-602-0370) and I will see if our 4WD volunteers can safely help.

Enthronement of the Boy Bishop & Crowning of St Lucy
Traditional ceremony of installing a boy bishop at Evensong. This medieval custom embodies the words of the Magnificat, “he hath exalted the humble of meek.” A youth, who is a leader in the parish, is chosen to be the boy bishop each year. He “serves” until the Feast of the Holy Innocents on December 28.
The medieval tradition of crowning a “St Lucy” and procession through the neighborhood honors the virgin martyr and again calls to mind the light of Jesus Christ that has come into the world.

Dean of Nashotah House Theological Seminary to Preach
Dr. Lauren Whitnah
St Timothy’s is pleased to welcome Dr. Lauren Whitnah, Dean of Nashotah House Theological Seminary, to preach at the 9am and 11am masses on Sunday, December 7.
Dr. Lauren Whitnah has served as Dean of Nashotah House since August 2024. A medieval historian, Whitnah previously served on the teaching faculty of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and as research manager and associate director of the university’s Global Computing Lab.
Whitnah holds a PhD in Medieval Studies and Master of Medieval Studies, both from the University of Notre Dame; a Master of Studies in History from the University of Oxford; and a Bachelor of Arts in History from Gordon College.
As senior lecturer at UT, she taught more than 400 students annually in interdisciplinary classes exploring the history, politics, culture, art, religion, economics, and literature of Western Europe from ca. 300 to ca.1500. During the decade she taught Medieval and Renaissance studies at the university, the number of students pursuing majors and minors in that discipline tripled. Whitnah also served on the university’s Faculty Senate and as co-chair of the Faculty Senate Teaching and Learning Committee.
Whitnah has received numerous awards as an educator, including the Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching at UT and the Award for Teaching Excellence from the Southeastern Medieval Association.
Whitnah’s academic focus centers on devotion to saints and understandings of sacred place in the High Middle Ages, particularly in northern England and southern Scotland. She has published and presented on topics including liturgical developments in veneration in the twelfth century, Aelred of Rievaulx and the saints of Hexham, and women at the shrine of St Cuthbert in Durham. She has taught at Episcopal and Anglican churches on a wide range of topics, including Benedictine monasticism, the life and work of Hildegard of Bingen, and medieval devotional art.
