A Note from the Sr. Warden

Dear St. Timothy’s Family,
 
“Come and Pray”.  That is a more descriptive name than “Prayer Pilgrimage” for the wonderful new opportunity we have at St. Timothy’s.  I write this to you on Wednesday, having just experienced our first Come and Pray.
 
What a moving time in church.  The peace that I felt when leaving church today lingers this evening.  I have never before experienced such an intense quiet and stillness as I did in the sanctuary this afternoon.  Our church really is beautiful, and to be there with just a few other people for individual silent prayer was the perfect way to feel God’s loving presence.
 
Mother Camie has compiled a beautiful set of prayers that are given out by an usher for us to use and keep.  You can also bring your own Prayer Book, or only pray what’s in your heart.  Part of the time I just sat there feeling and listening.  Today made me think of the blessing we receive at the end of the Holy Eucharist service: “The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord…”
 
I encourage you to call and sign up for next Wednesday’s Come and Pray at either 4:00, 4:30, or 5:00.  Details are available here. You’ll be so glad you did.
 
With peace and love,
Joy Rouse
