Connect with God & Community During July
The Month of July - We will be learning the Spiritual Discipline of Waiting on God together. The Book written 125 years ago by Andrew Murray, has been translated by fellow South African, Collin Millard. There are several ways to live into this practice which helps us experience God’s very presence and love more fully. This is one spiritual practice that will enable us to live into our new mission:
Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we experience God's love and share it!
  • As a daily devotional - you can read the day corresponding with the date on Facebook: St Timothys
  • With a group on Sunday mornings at 9:15 in the Rector’s Office.
  • With the Greater Houston Prayer Council (GHPC) online at 6 a.m., Noon or 9 p.m. (sign up for the zoom link for attending one of these zoom calls at: https://www.greaterhoustonprayer.org/)
