Welcome to St. Timothy's web site! We hope that you will also visit us in person and join us in our worship.

Entering the Silence of Lent, February 11

Prayer for Discernment, February 19
The entire parish is invited to join with the Daughters of the King in praying for discernment regarding how God might be calling us at St. Timothy's to minister to Young Adults in our community. Many of us were deeply shaken to learn of the recent deaths by suicide of a number of our community's young adults. Over the years we have talked about the need for a ministry to this age group at St. Timothy's and the call to somehow reach out and share Christ's healing love with young adults. We feel that these tragic events in our community call us to discern God's intention for St. Timothy's through vigorous, faithful prayer.

The Rev. Liz Parker will present a program on "Praying for Discernment" at the regular monthly meeting of the Daughters of the King on Sunday, February 19, 2012 at 12:10 PM in the Parish Hall. We urge everyone to pray for guidance in this matter. Please join us on the 19th for this opportunity to seek God's will together in prayer.

Pancake Supper, February 21
Please come out and support our active youth ministry by attending the annual pancake supper on Fat Tuesday, February 21st at 5:30 PM in the Parish Hall. The money raised at the Pancake Supper helps support our youth's mission work. Not only will you partake in a delicious dinner of pancakes and sausage, served to you by our wonderful youth, but you will also enjoy fellowship with your family and friends in a festive Mardis Gras setting. The Brazowood Jazz Bands have once again graciously agreed to play and really bring the party to life!

Ash Wednesday, February 22
Please join us for Holy Eucharist with Imposition of Ashes at Noon and 7:30 PM

Blood Drive, February 26
The next Houston Blood Bank drive will be on February 26, 2012, in our Parish Hall, between 8:00 AM and 12:30 PM.

According to their records, we had 118 donors during the year of 2011. This does not include the number of folks that were rejected for one reason or another when attempting to donate. Thanks to all those who donate!

Final Affairs Fair, March 3
Possessions--and how we use them--have a way of defining who we are. Estates and end of life plans reflect our values. Preparing a will and expressing your wishes for your final affairs are acts of love for our families and friends, ways of easing the pain of loss that follows death. It is also our final legacy.

St. Timothy's first Final Affairs Fair is organized to offer information about decisions and documents concerning end of life plans from the perspective of Christian stewardship. Topics include
• Writing Your Will
• Estate Planning
• Medical Directives
• Planning Your Funeral and Burial
