Befrienders

The role of the Befriender is to be a companion on the journey through their listening, presence, and compassion. Befriender ministers respond to the emotional and spiritual needs of individuals by bringing a caring presence and a living reminder of God's love.

Maggie Philbrook supervises the Befriender ministry and is the primary contact for those who may want to enter into a Befriender relationship or wish to be trained as a Befriender Minister at St.Tim's. Contact Maggie at the parish office, 763.784.1329. 

Healing Hope Grief Ministry

Experiencing the loss of a loved one is difficult and sometimes you need the opportunity to express your grief with others in a safe, confidential and compassionate setting. Healing Hope grief support is for anyone who has lost a loved one. This group is designed as a drop-in structure, with no pre-registration required and the meetings are free. The group meets two Thursday each month at 6:00 p.m. in room 224 of the parish center.  Please check the calendar on this website for upcoming meetings.

Bob Bartlett of Phoenix Process Consultants is the facilitator. Bob is a licensed therapist with extensive experience in grief support and related needs. Individual sessions may also be scheduled with Bob or his partners at Phoenix Process on an as needed basis. For more information please call Bob at 952.922.8822, or the St Timothy parish office, 763.784.1329.

Prayer Shawls

St. Timothy’s Prayer Shawl Ministry has knitted and crocheted numerous prayer shawls with prayerful hearts and loving hands, to bring comfort to people who are experiencing celebrations or life challenges, which may include a loss, illness or recovery. The prayer shawls are available in the parish center office during office hours. If you would like to help with the prayer shawl ministry please contact Maggie at the parish office, 763.784.1329.
