Dear Parishioners:
In the Season of Easter, we “unpack”
the meaning of the Resurrection of Jesus.
Our Faith tells us that we have a share in the Lord’s Suffering and
Death, but that we also share in His Resurrection and Ascension into
Glory. This is not just a pious belief,
but the very heart of our Christianity.
It has practical consequences. Who
we are comes from our Faith. What we are
to do must flow from who we are, from who God intends us to be.
As St. Timothy Church, we belong to
Jesus Christ, our Risen Lord. He has
created us as individuals, as families and as a Parish for a particular
purpose. The Gospel tells us that our call
is to make disciples and to teach and baptize others in the Name of Jesus.
How we do this is often up to us to
discover and decide together. As a
Community of Faith, we are in the midst of a process that will help us to chart
our course to the Future. Every member
of our Parish and School Community is invited to enter in at every level.
Who are you and what is your
personal mission? How does your family
relate to this call? How do the groups
and organizations of which you are a member allow this to be lived?
The Parish Finance Council has led
the charge to create a Stewardship Team for St. Timothy Parish and School. Their “job” is to be the cheerleaders who
assist us all to discover the treasures that God has store up among us for all
of us and for the world around us. All
the groups and organizations of the Parish and School are invited to take part
and to help to discover what we need to do and how to accomplish it.
In the days and weeks and months
ahead, keep your eyes and ears open.
Begin to reflect on your own gifts and talents and those of others
around you. What do you have that ought
to be offered to our Parish and School and to the world around us?
