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 Rt. Rev. Daniel Morse was in town on Sunday to officially install the Rev. Dr. Eric Parker as the Rector of St. Paul’s. We are very excited to see the Lord’s blessings in our midst, and we pray for His continued care and guidance of our parish as we look to the future.

O HOLY Jesus, who hast purchased to thyself an universal Church, and hast promised to be with the Ministers of Apostolic Succession to the end of the world; Be graciously pleased to bless the ministry and service of him who is now appointed to offer the sacrifices of prayer and praise to thee in this house, which is called by thy Name. May the words of his mouth, and the meditation of his heart, be alway acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, our strength and our Redeemer. Amen.
