Outreach takes many forms at St. Timothy's

St. Timothy's is active in a number of outreach activities that respond to the needs of people with Christian imperative that the hungry be fed, the naked clothed, the homeless housed, and that others who are less fortunate share in the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  St. Timothy's is a leader of some outreach programs, and assists with many community programs.
Brotherhood of Saint Andrew- The St. Timothy's Chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew is a Christian fellowship of men dedicated to serving our Church and to changing lives through daily prayer for the spread of Christ's kingdom, studying the Holy Scriptures regularly, and making continuing efforts to bring others and ourselves nearer to Christ through His Church and through our own service.

The Hall- Our Youth Hall provides a place for intermediates (7th and 8th grade) to walk over after school to study, play games inside or out or just chill out. It is staffed by St. Timothy’s volunteers. It has been in existence since 1996 and serves  thousands of students every year with an average of 55-70 per day during the school year.
​
Angel Tree - We share Christ's love with children of Brazosport families of incarcerated parents who are typically in need of help during Christmas with food, gifts and other essential items. Last Christmas thirty tags were taken the first day. The program will be expanded this next Christmas.

Blood Drive - We have been averaging about 22 donations per drive. Drives are scheduled about 3 times per year. Each donation is said to save 3 lives.

Bingo- Plantation Nursing Home - Members of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew provide bingo to residents of Plantation Nursing Home each month.

Prison Ministry - Four Brotherhood of St. Andrew (BOSA) members rotate providing bible study each Sunday at the Wayne Scott unit. Also, the BOSA conducts an annual weekend retreat at Wayne Scott. About 120 offenders attended the most recent retreat.

Salvation Army Bell Ringer - Each year St. Timothy's parishioners ring bells to collect money at local retailers in Lake Jackson to support the Salvation Army in the Brazosport area. We ring bell outside Walgreens, Walmart and other retailers.

Love Multiplies like Rabbits at St. Timothy’s Lake Jackson this Easter!   

Don’t under estimate the impact of what seems like a “small outreach project”. 
St. Timothy’s used the 40 days of Lent to help spread some Easter love to young people in the Brazosport area.  The idea started simply – to sew about 60 homemade Easter bunnies to donate to the children who are served by the local food pantry.  But the Holy Spirit had bigger plans, and inspired our volunteers to greater heights! As we were transitioning out of COVID-19, it brought people back into community.
With the help of members who sew, and more volunteers to stuff and decorate our creations, we were able to give away in excess of 150 unique bunnies to kids at the food pantry, our Easter Egg hunt and to anyone else who needed to know some bunny loves them or a bunny to love or pass on. 
“This project was not only fun but such a blessing to our wider community and to St. Timothy’s members. Once word got out organizations all over town wanted bunnies. Only God knows how this little idea might spread love and joy.”, said Sondra Griner, bunny project coordinator.
We share this story to the glory of God and to encourage others!
