There Is Room for You
Jesus tells us, “In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.” This October, as we begin our Room Enough stewardship season, we are celebrating a simple truth: there is room for you here.
On Sunday, October 4, following the 10:30 service, we’ll have an Open House throughout St. Timothy’s. Different rooms will introduce you to the many ministries that make our life together possible.
Think of it as a chance to wander through the vineyard God has planted here.
You might discover a ministry you never knew existed. You might meet someone you haven’t talked with before. You might learn that a gift you already have is exactly what a ministry needs. Or you may simply become more curious about what God is doing at St. Timothy’s.
At each stop, ministry leaders will be ready to tell you:
What do we do?
How much time does it take?
What spiritual gifts are helpful?
Where do we find joy in serving?
How can you try it without making a big commitment?
And if you are new to St. Timothy’s, this Open House is especially for you. Come explore the building, meet people, ask questions, and discover more about who we are.
Stewardship is about much more than money. It is recognizing what God has entrusted to us—our resources, our abilities, our experiences, our time, and even the things that bring us joy—and asking:
God, where might there be room for me?
You don’t have to sign up for everything. You don’t even have to sign up for anything that day.
Come. Be curious. Explore the rooms. Have a snack. Meet someone new.
And listen for where God might be inviting you to find joy in sharing your gifts.
There is Room Enough.
There is room for you.
And God’s love is for all here.
In Hope,
Pastor Robin+

Greenery Sale
Altar Guild Fundraiser
Your St. Timothy's Altar Guild is again hosting our Christmas Greenery Fundraiser for 2026. Christmas Greenery purchased from Sherwood Forest Farms, located in the Pacific Northwest, supplies beautiful holiday greenery to provide the beauty of the Christmas Season! Proceeds from this fundraiser directly support St. Timothy's Altar Guild and the beautiful Eucharistic Table we feast at each Sunday.
Be on the lookout for our flyers, handouts, with QR codes for ordering greenery because our sale kicks off next week, October 8th. The last day to order is November 8th. Ordering online or on your phone is a breeze! We will also have a box for traditional order forms and checks (made payable to St. Timothy's--please note on the Memo line: Altar Guild Greenery-- in our narthex and office. Kim Lehnhoff will be available on Sundays to help with and support orders by check or any online order question. The delivery window for the greenery is after Thanksgiving until December 10th -ish—just in time for the Christmas Season.
Our goal is $1800 in sales with hopefully 50%-ish in funds for Altar Guild returning to us.
Contact Kim Lehnhoff for information about our fundraiser or joining Altar Guild. We’d love to have you on our Ministry Team!

Tabatha's Guild (Sewing)
We have a new project! For the Blessing Bags, (see the article above,) we need about 20 simple backpacks. We already have about eight, so if we get just a small group together, we could whip them out in a matter of a couple of hours. We have plenty of supplies.
As usual, the sewing room will be open on Saturday from 2-4PM. We will also be available for anyone who has a project or wants to learn using our supplies. We currently have a young man who is super-excited to learn this new skill.

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.
