Dear Parishioners,
Please join me in welcoming Jackie Koch to our parish staff. Jackie will begin this week as our new parish secretary and I hope you will make a point to stop into the church office to introduce yourself and say hello.
Jackie comes to us from D.E. Harvey Builders where she served as Field Office Manager in their Lake Jackson office. Previously she served for over 18 years at BISD as a paraprofessional and a SEMS (Special Education) Clerk. She comes to us with strong clerical and computer skills.
Jackie earned her Associates of Arts Degree Cum Laude from Brazosport College and her Bachelor of Science Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Houston Clear Lake where she was inducted into the Kappa Delta Pi Honor Society in Education and was on the Dean’s List.
Jackie has been married to her husband, Paul, for 33 years and has one daughter Jennifer who lives in Houston. Jackie keeps busy serving at the Food Basket in Clute and serving at her church, First Christian Church, where she is involved in teaching Children’s Church, the E-Team (Evangelism and Outreach) and most recently as part of the Visioning Team, tasked with rebuilding and refurbishing the church after an extensive fire.
In her free time you’ll find Jackie rooting for the Texans, Rockets, Astros and Dynamo, baking, shopping, attending plays and musicals, and spending time with her family and friends.
Please welcome her aboard!
P.S. (Jackie’s last name is pronounced ‘kotch’)
Faithfully,
Brendan+

Poetry Retreat 2017
Oct 27-29, 2017
Surfside Beach
Writing the Ache for God
Poetry as Prayer
A Retreat with Richard Osler
You may not have written much for many years, you might have written but not poems or you might be an accomplished writer or poet. No matter what your writing experience come and join a group of fellow pilgrims on October 27th to 29th, 2017, and ask for poems as prayers to come out of the “great” heart of you. The heart under and over your heart. God’s heart. Through words, have that heart speak its words to you – of joy, of sorrow of revelation.
The surprise a poem is. The surprise prayers can be when we invite them, don’t dictate them. During this weekend retreat we will read poems that celebrate, as Canadian poet Dennis Lee says, the miracle ache of the world. The ache that breaks and remakes us. And in that ache another ache: the one celebrated American poet Charles Wright calls the last ache in the ache for God.
Please consider this invitation and if you accept it, bring all of who you think you are, your successes and losses, your ache for God, any sense God is absent (that huge loss) and let your writing as American essayist Melissa Pritchard says: address this loss, return you to the Beloved [God] and to a sense of reunion with ourselves.

Missional Communities
Our Committee on Missional Communities continues to evaluate and discern missional opportunities within our community. We will review topics discussed at Diocesan Council this year, and look at how they can be applied as St. Timothy's looks to aggressively move forward with a missional community mindset.
If you would like more information regarding missional communities or wish to be a part of this committee, contact Chris Weis or Mandy Neal.
