Our Weekly Blast!

Town Hall Meeting, October 13
This year's Town Hall Meeting will be  October 13th in the Parish Hall, from 9:15-10:15 a.m. (between services). The Brotherhood will provide breakfast tacos.

Consecration Sunday and Celebration Luncheon, Oct. 20
Our Stewardship Campaign for 2020 is underway led by our Stewardship Committee: Rod Hicks, Janet Jones and Fran Hammond along with Rev. Kimbrough.

This campaign is not a high pressure, budget-driven exercise, but is an opportunity for parishioners to reflect on the gifts we have received from the Lord and to consider the spiritual enrichment in each or our own lives by the act of giving back. The campaign culminates on Consecration Sunday, October 20th. Please plan to attend one of the morning services and then the Consecration Luncheon following the 10:30 service. Check your mail for an invitation letter and RSVP card.
River of Hope Garage Sale
Is it time to clean out those closets, garages and storage rooms?
 
St. Timothy's is partnering with River of Hope's Annual Garage Sale this year in the Parish Hall. This is a community-wide event but includes us as well. 
 
We will be accepting donations October 22-24th (Tuesday-Thursday), 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. & 5 p.m. - 7p.m. in the Parish Hall. Please drop off only at times listed.
 
The Garage Sale is Thursday, 5-7 p.m. ($10 V.I.P Early Bird Special); Friday: 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. and Saturday, 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. Proceeds benefit River of Hope - a 501 (c) 3 Christian non-profit. Donation tax receipts available at donation drop-off. River of Hope exists to meet people's financial crisis needs and assist them in becoming financially self-sufficient.
All Saints Day Service, Nov. 1, 7:00 p.m.

Every Christian today stands on the shoulders of those faithful departed who have gone before us. It's our opportunity to thank the Lord for the life and witness of those saints who we love and acknowledge before God. Please contact the church office to place the name of a departed loved one who we will remember during the service by lighting a candle in their name. Put the purple slips in the alms basins, or call or email Jackie Koch at 979-297-6003 or jkoch@stimothy.org no later than Monday, October 28th.
Jazz Sunday Service
The jazz sextet Jazz Sunday will be providing the music for our 10:30 service on November 3rd!  Jazz Sunday has made several appearances at St. Timothy's and their exciting take on hymns of the church is a must hear.  You won't want to miss this spectacular service!
The Hall
THE HALL is flourishing! People have stepped up in new ways:
(1) To bring food from local events
(2) To assist in the purchase of a new computer
(3) To assist with communications
(4) To maintain order in the refrigerators and storage closet
 
Every bit of assistance is important. Daily attendance is 40-50 and preparation is essential. Come join us! If you would like to assist in any way, please contact Sharon McKey at 979-285-3567.
The Food Basket
Needs include: shopping bags, feminine hygiene items, Tylenol, cereal, cortisone cream, oatmeal, shampoo, deodorant, fruit juice,
baby food and wipes.  Many thanks to everyone for all you do to help  feed our neighbors!

Thanksgiving Donations
The Food Basket is already thinking ahead for holiday baskets - St. Timothy's is collecting 120 boxes of cornbread mix and 120 cans of chicken broth for Thanksgiving. Please place your donations in the red buckets marked "Food Basket" during the month of October.

Food Basket Farmer's Market (10:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m.), November 7th - 15-20 volunteers are needed to help unload produce from the Houston Food Bank truck; bagging up items for clients to receive; and helping clients carry their items to their vehicle. A sign-up sheet is located in the hallway.
FALL WORK DAY

It is time for our Fall Workday where we spruce up the flower beds, mulch, weed-eat and do other things to prepare our outside for the coming celebration of the Birth of Jesus.
Bring your string trimmers, blowers, clippers, hoes, garden and leaf rakes, shovels and wheel barrows.
