CHILDREN AND YOUTH
St. Timothy's is
a fun place for kids of all ages - from the littlest babies in
our daycare center, right on up to the teen-aged years.
Varied
activities are offered for young people of all ages. Young
children come together for many different activities offered throughout
the year such as a Halloween party, Christmas caroling, a whiffleball
tournament, and other fun. Lutheran Youth Organization (LYO),
is an organization for young people in grades 6 through 12. Activities
include service projects, lock-ins, leading worship, and activities
just for fun. Youth in grades 9 through 12 also have the opportunity
to take week-long trips to various places. In the past, trips
have included Washington D.C., Boston, Baltimore, and Wildwood,
New Jersey. This year we're off to West Virginia!
Our
church ministry has grown to include reaching out in love to the
children of Grand Island, Niagara Falls, and Buffalo area communities
with the ministry of St. Timothy Lutheran Child Care Center. We
will soon be celebrating our 15 year anniversary! There are staff
members that are still with us since we started so long ago. With
over 20 committed and caring staff members and 60 children, God
has blessed our child care center with the mission of providing
a safe and loving place for children to blossom.
