The Order of the Daughters of the King® (DOK) is a spiritual sisterhood of women dedicated to a life of Prayer, Service and Evangelism. We have made a commitment to Jesus as our Savior, and we follow Him as Lord of our lives. We are an Order for women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church, churches in communion with it, or churches in the Historic Episcopate. Today our membership includes women in the Anglican, Episcopal, Lutheran (ELCA) and Roman Catholic churches

For His Sake…I am but one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something.
What I can do, I ought to do. What I ought to do, by the grace of God I will do.
Lord, what will you have me do?

The Mary & Martha Chapter of the Daughters of the King would like to take this time to thank you all for joining us in celebration as we welcomed Rose Reith and Traci Stuart into the Mary & Martha Chapter of the Daughters of the King on April 7, 2024. It truly was a Blessed & Beautiful Day!!

The DOK continues to move forward in ministry. With our last shipment to Liberia now on its way, and after the induction of two new daughters, our chapter brought forth and discussed possibilities for ministry.

After much discussion, the Daughters voted to adopt “New Hope” as our chapter’s mission outreach service ministry. “New Hope” is a non-profit organization serving those affected by domestic and sexual violence. Since domestic & sexual violence are often intertwined, New Hope’s clients benefit from a full spectrum of programs offered, allowing to receive domestic & sexual violence services in one place. There has been a surge in Hotline Call volume, surpassing previous years by over 10%. There has also been an increased demand for counseling services for children & families. According to one client: ”My New Hope counselor picked me up when I stumbled, taught me how to build healthy relationships, boost my self confidence, and most importantly, she didn’t let me off the hook when I needed to be honest with myself!” We are each looking forward to doing what we can to help those in need through our relationship in ministry with New Hope.

On a final note, since we are the Mary & Martha Chapter of the Daughters of the King, we thought it would be a good idea to learn more about our namesakes. So, as part of our study program we will be reading and discussing a book entitled “Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World”, by: Joanna Weaver. This should prove to be a very interesting and thought provoking study. Again, we would like to thank you all for your support and your very presence in each of our lives here at Holy Trinity Church. God’s Peace & Blessings be with you!
For His Sake,
Robin Yates, DOK President

For His Sake….I am but one, but I am one.
I cannot do everything, but I can do something.
What I can do, I ought to do. What I ought to do, by the grace of God, I will do.
Lord, what will you have me do?

 

The Prayer of the Order

O Eternal Father, you have sent u s your Son to teach us things pertaining to your heavenly Kingdom. Give your blessing to our Order wherever it may be throughout the world. Grant that we, your Daughters, ever may discern your truth and bear the cross through the battles of our earthly life. Give us strength to overcome temptation and the grace to work to spread your Kingdom and to gather your scattered sheep within your fold. Pour out upon us the sevenfold gift of the Holy Spirit that we may always remember it is your work we are called to do, that all we think, do or say may be pleasing in your sight. We ask it all For His Sake, our King and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
