News from St. Francis by the Lake Episcopal Church, Canyon Lake, TX
In the Diocese of West Texas
Tricia Jones, Diocese of West Texas Regional Representative
At the close of 2025, St Francis by the Lake, Canyon Lake, completed ten years as a licensed COHI Center! To start our 11th year, fourteen members renewed their covenants, were commissioned, and had their hands anointed during the worship service on January 4, 2026. We celebrated Epiphany that evening, bringing gifts of canned food for the food bank and popping Old English style "crackers" that contained gold crowns, a prize and a riddle.
Commissioning L-R: Lynn Zimmermann, Tricia Jones, Linda Hillin, Debbie Barnwell, Fr David Chalk, Becki Nichols, Nancy Summers, Teresa St John, Julie Chalk, Ann Freiberger. Members not pictured: Jo Conchado, Patricia Doyal, Jay Hillin, Ana McDonald and Velda Vukoder.
