Daughters of the King

Mary and Martha Chapter

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

Daughters of the King News

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?

I am happy to announce that the past month has been very busy for the Daughter’s of the King! We have started a new study group for those individuals who have expressed an interest in becoming a member of the Daughters. This study group is for 12 weeks, during which time individuals learn about the order of the Daughters of the King, its mission and purpose. Individuals will take this time of study to discern for themselves whether they are called to be a Daughter. A very exciting time for all of us!

The Daughters are also looking ahead to the New Year and our mission and outreach programs here at Holy Trinity Church. We will be meeting on October 22nd, during coffee hour, to discuss and decide upon the programs that we will sponsor in the upcoming new year. We are looking for and would appreciate your input & suggestions for our mission and outreach programs. Also, if anyone is interested in joining the mission and outreach committee, we would be delighted to have you join us.

Get your creativity hat on! In the beginning of October we will be celebrating Christmas a little bit early. During coffee hour, you will have the opportunity to create, or just color Christmas cards for our troops overseas. We will have Christmas cards ready to color, and just plain paper for you to create your own if you wish to do so. We hope that you will enjoy this little festive bit of cheer.

Motto

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.
