Incarnation, College Station

Bishop Keith Ackerman and Deacon Fred Hotz visited the
new congregation in College Station on Dec. 2, on behalf
of Bishop Iker. Fr. Gregory Crosthwait is the planting priest
for Church of the Incarnation and presented seven members
for confirmation, two for reaffirmation of faith, and one for
reception from another branch of the Church.

Christ the King, Fort Worth

On the First Sunday of Advent, Bishop Iker was well enough
to officiate at his first public worship service since late September.
He celebrated the 10:30 a.m. Eucharist at the Church of
Christ the King and All Saints’ in Fort Worth, and Fr. Darryl
Pigeon preached. The Bishop has returned to the office
on a limited basis and is available for appointments.

Dec. 7 Update: After three courses of chemotherapy,
as well as much intercessory prayer, Bishop Iker has had a
new PET scan to evaluate progress. Compared to the
September scan, his tumors have reduced by more than 80%,
and he is considered to be in partial remission. The next
course of chemotherapy begins Monday, Dec. 10. He is
expected to complete six courses of treatment by the end
of January. This will be followed by radiation treatments.
Thanks be to God for this remarkable progress.
