Grant, O merciful God, that your Church, being gathered together in unity by your Holy Spirit, may show forth your power among all peoples, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

As we continue to see the ongoing destruction caused by Hurricane Harvey, we are rightfully moved to help.
This morning I spoke with Fr Trawin Malone, who is in Austin, Texas. Austin and Houston are in the same diocese. I asked Fr Malone if it is best to give to the Diocese of Texas or Episcopal Relief and Development (the emergency response ministry in the Episcopal Church). His response was sobering: "We have a good disaster response team. However, they are in the middle of the disaster." He recommends gifts to ERD, which is highly rated by charity watch groups.

Vestry Reflection |Ashley Robbins, Jr Warden
|
|
|
Each week members of the vestry will offer a reflection in our weekly publications. This week's reflection is from Ashley Robbins.
|

One of the five Anglican Communion Marks of Mission is “to respond to human need by loving service.” Jesus’ entire life was one of service, the most notable example was the washing of the feet of his disciples on the eve of his betrayal. As members of St. Timothy’s we are called to serve. There are countless ways that we can serve within our parish and outside of our parish. As the new school year is upon us, I want to challenge each and every member to find some new way to serve our Lord. Our parish news and weekly announcements are always full of opportunities to serve. God has given each of us a talent that we should be sharing.
St. Vincent Pallotti
said “Remember that the Christian life is one of action; not of speech and daydreams. Let there be few words and many deeds, and let them be done well.”
I also want to challenge you to not wait for someone to ASK you to serve, JUST DO IT. I guarantee you won’t regret it.
