Ancient, Modern, Robust |

This film of the 2011 Great Vigil of Easter at St. Timothy's compresses nearly three hours of worship into a few moments of video. It is a brief "window" into the rich worship life of this faith community, where the total person is engaged in the worship of God: mind, body, and spirit. Sight, sound, scent, movement, silence, joy—these are just a few of the robust ingredients used. Such worship is both ancient and modern because—like the Gospel—it is essentially timeless.
Because St. Timothy's does not seek a narrow and always-changing form of relevance, it is able to embrace heaven and earth in its most important offering--the worship of God. The mystical and the practical, the communal and the personal, all find a unifying authenticity here. That unity reaches out beyond worship into our relationships and actions because authentic worship is always relevant. The first time many people experience worship at St. Timothy's, they often report a sense of how rich an experience it is. That richness is an invitation to a lifetime of growing, learning, and loving. We believe God became human in Christ, putting God firmly in our world of experience. Worship is the same. A film can only tell you so much: consider coming and experiencing it yourself in person. |
