Please Join Us In Welcoming Our New Associate Rector The Rev. Emily Bloemker

A native of Indianapolis, Emily attended Washington University in Saint Louis and joined the Episcopal Church through Episcopal Campus Ministry. After working as the youth minister at Saint Stephen’s Ferguson and as a secretary and cook in Saint Louis, Emily moved east to attend seminary at Berkeley Divinity School at Yale. There, she served as an intern at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York City, worked for a year coordinating ecumenical liturgy at Yale’s Marquand Chapel, and spent a summer as the chaplain of Kanuga Conferences’ Camp Bob. During the years after college, Emily traveled to Kenya, Haiti, and twice to Sudan for mission trips.

Currently, Emily lives in the Central West End with her dog, Thomas Aquinas. He is a friendly Great Pyrenees-Border Collie mix, and often comes to Saint Tim’s! Besides walking Thomas, Emily loves to backpack, cook, read, and travel.

Emily is very pleased to be part of the community at Saint Tim’s by serving as the associate rector. She is especially looking forward to ministry with families, children and youth; to preaching; and to supporting mission and outreach. Stop by her office (at the end of the hall near the library) to chat or to see Thomas; or email her at emily@saint-tims.org.

Outreach Kickoff

June kicks off our Outreach campaign at St. Timothy's. Please read visit our outreach page for more information on how you can help. The following quote by our own Deacon Jan O'Neil sums up the importance quite well.

We the baptized are all members of Outreach: we promise to be God’s compassionate hearts and willing hands in God’s world. Please say“yes” to God’s call to be disciples and to seek justice and peace and serve Christ in all persons. Let us go forth into the world rejoicing in the power of the spirit. – Deacon Jan
