A Word from Pastor Robin

Beloved in Christ,

Easter is not just a single day, but a season—Eastertide—fifty days in which we are invited to live into the reality of the Resurrection. During this time, we see the Risen Christ not only comforting his disciples, but sending them: “As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” Eastertide is a season of becoming disciples who follow in the way of Jesus and share his life with others.

To be a disciple is to learn from Christ, to pattern our lives after his love, and to help others come to believe in him as God incarnate. The early Church grew because ordinary people lived this good news and invited others into it. We are called to do the same.

One of the primary ways we do this is through the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation—public, communal acts that mark and strengthen our life in Christ. In the coming weeks, we will offer opportunities for those discerning Baptism or Confirmation, as well as training for those who feel called to support others as sponsors and mentors.

This Eastertide, I invite you to consider your own next step: deepening your walk with Christ, or helping someone else take theirs.

Christ is risen—and still calling us to follow.

I hope you will Come and see.

With Hope Alive,

Pastor Robin+

Episcopalians are baptized at any age—from infancy to adulthood—typically during a Sunday service within the community, rather than private ceremonies. According to the Book of Common Prayer, baptisms are ideally scheduled for specific feast days. Dates in 2026 are:

May 24, 2026 - Pentecost
November 1, 2026 - All Saints

Altar Flowers

In 2026, our set of 2 Altar floral arrangements will be present at regular St. Timothy’s Sunday services only on the occasions when parishioners provide flowers for special thanksgivings or remembrances. Floral arrangements may be given in memory, thanksgiving or celebration of whomever and/or for whatever the person/family donating flowers chooses for that selected Sunday. A pamphlet by the Flower Chart in the Narthex outlining this process is available. Please do note on our wall-mounted flower chart the Sunday(s) you wish to provide flowers and sign on that date. We have 2 local floral shops—Carriage Flowers and LJ Flower Co.—we use. By the Monday or Tuesday of the week before your selected Sunday contact your choice of shop to arrange for and pay the flower shop directly for your 2 arrangements order. You will no longer provide a check to St. Timothy’s for flowers. Kim Lehnhoff will coordinate flowers and is available to help with any step in the process of arranging for your flowers. Contact Kim at (979) 299-9777 or email kim60lehn@gmail.com with questions or for help.

Carriage Flowers: (979) 297-9927
