This MSDN article describes the steps required for creating a Windows Service: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9k985bc9(VS.80).aspx

The gist of scheduling with a service is to start a timer when the service starts and fire off the actual work of the service when the timer’s Tick event is raised.

You can create a separate service for each function, or create a series of timers within one service, each of which does a different task when the appropriate amount of time has elapsed.

If you truly need each of these functions to be in a separate module, you can use MEF or I’ve done this with the System.Addin pipeline builder, but this is probably more trouble than it is worth — too much of a learning curve for a simple problem domain.
