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.

Blessing of the Backpacks will take place during our 10:30 worship service on August 13. All children, youth and young adults are encouraged to bring their backpacks to church for our annual Backpack Blessing before classes begin throughout our community. While we call it the Blessing of the Backpacks, we are actually blessing each student to have a wonderful year of learning, confident that God and the prayers of their church family go with them every day. Take this opportunity to invite students and families of neighbors, friends, coworkers and grandchildren to come, bring their backpacks and participate.

Welcome to St. Timothy's, Lake Jackson! We're glad you're interested in our church and hope you'll come see us in person, either to worship Sunday morning or just to visit during the week. This is an extraordinary parish - in love with Jesus, devoted to each other, cherishing tradition, but always willing to try on new things.
There's a lot of ways to get involved here. On Sunday mornings you may choose either a small, quiet communion service or a larger service enlivened by splendid music, both traditional and contemporary. Our Sunday School classes are for all ages, including a Montessori curriculum for ages three through third grade. St. Timothy's provides many opportunities for outreach and spiritual growth - from "The Hall", our daily after-school ministry to our weekly prison ministry, from an active Sunday evening youth group to a Pub Bible Study (for adults, of course!)
We try to keep this website complete and up-to-date but of course it's no substitute for personal contact.
