What is Diocesan Council?
Diocesan Council is the annual business meeting of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas and is held every February. At this meeting, we hear reports on the programs and finances of the diocese, receive updates about new church plants and ministries, and approve the annual budget for the diocese. We also elect members of diocesan committees and boards. Learn more: www.edotcouncil.com

Truth
Jesus' gospel message was that we were all created in the image of God, with the capacity to mirror the same loving-kindness that is God’s essence. We show this by following his example: by being merciful, engaging each other with compassion, listening to each other intently, and, when necessary, asking God for the courage to speak truth to power.
Br. Jim Woodrum, Society of Saint John the Evangelist

The Brotherhood of St. Andrew
The Brotherhood of St. Andrew is a national men’s ministry named for the apostle, who, according to John’s Gospel, after meeting Jesus, went to find his brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah.” Then he took Simon to Jesus.
The Brotherhood of St. Andrew has been an Episcopal Church ministry of and for men more than 126 years and was even commissioned by Congress, along with the Boy Scouts, in a charter signed by Teddy Roosevelt.
Grace began a chapter in 1980; it became inactive no one recalls when. We are now active again and look forward to welcoming more members. If you are interested, please contact Hughie Cowles. His contact information is available in the Church Directory
The next Brotherhood of St. Andrew meeting will take place during the Men´s Prayer Breakfast on Saturday, February 8.
