The Rev. J. James Derkits, Rector 

Parish of the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas

The Rt. Rev. Dr. David G. Read, Diocesan Bishop  

As members of the Body of Christ, we seek to be a spiritual and charitable resource of God’s love in our community.

Prayer for the Election of our Suffragan Bishop: Almighty and everliving God, source of all wisdom and understanding, be present as we discern who you would call to serve as Bishop Suffragan of the Diocese of West Texas. Teach us in all things to seek first your honor and glory. Guide us to perceive what is your will, and grant us both the courage to pursue it and the grace to accomplish it; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
