You are invited to join us Wednesday, March 5 at noon as we enter into the penitential season of Lent by the Imposition of Ashes and Holy Communion.
For the last three weeks, we have been preparing to enter into Lent, when we mirror the forty days Jesus spent in the wilderness, being tempted and tried.
Lent should not be viewed as a punishment, or a way in which we try to pay for our sins, rather, Lent is gift to us, a time of repentance through which our essential need for God is most clearly revealed to us and the path to his Kingdom most brightly illuminated. We are reminded once again that without Crucifixion there is no Resurrection.
“Turn ye even to me, saith the LORD, with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness…”
On Thursday, January 16, 2025, the Anglican Church in North America’s College of Bishops consented to the election of four bishops-elect. The Rev. Jason Grote (second from right) is the bishop elect of our diocese, the REC Diocese of the Central States and will be consecrated in June.
As a bishop’s son, the Rev. Jason Grote is aware of the role he is stepping into. Grote currently serves as the Canon Missioner in the Reformed Episcopal Church and is excited to continue that focus of church growth in the Diocese of the Central States. He commented, “I am eager to embrace the opportunities the Lord presents to us in the Diocese, and to work with all my fellow servants as we seek to grow the Kingdom of God together.” Grote and his family (wife, Liz, and children, Aidan and Avery) will move from Houston to the Diocese of the Central States after his daughter’s graduation from high school in May 2026.

The Baptism of Lillian Gray Harden took place on Sunday, August 18th at St. Paul’s. “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these” (Mark 10:14).
WE yield thee hearty thanks, most merciful Father, that it hath pleased thee to regenerate this Child with thy Holy Spirit, to receive her for thine own Child, and to incorporate her into thy holy Church. And humbly we beseech thee to grant, that she, being dead unto sin, may live unto righteousness, and being buried with Christ in his death, may also be partaker of his resurrection; so that finally, with the residue of thy holy Church, she may be an inheritor of thine everlasting kingdom; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
