Love Multiplies Like Rabbits at St. Timothy’s, Lake Jackson

Don’t underestimate the impact of what seems like a “small outreach project.” Parishioners at St. Timothy’s, Lake Jackson, used the 40 days of Lent to help spread some Easter love to young people in the Brazosport area.

The idea started simply—to sew 60 homemade Easter bunnies to donate to the children who are served by the local food pantry. However, the Holy Spirit had bigger plans and inspired volunteers to greater heights.

As St. Timothy’s began to transition out of COVID-19, it brought people back into the community to gather. With the help of members to sew and more volunteers to stuff and decorate the creations, the rabbits multiplied. Volunteers gave away more than 150 unique bunnies to kids at the food pantry and an Easter egg hunt. Still more were gifted to anyone else who needed to know “some bunny loves them.”

“This project was not only fun but such a blessing to our wider community and to St. Timothy’s members,” bunny project coordinator Sondra Griner said. “Once word got out organizations all over town wanted bunnies. Only God knows how this little idea might spread love and joy.”
