Interest & Information Classes – December 8 & January 12 after the 10:30 service in the library

All women, or anyone identifying as a woman, who think they may be interested in becoming a Daughter of the King are invited to join one or both of these informational classes. On Dec. 8, we will have refreshments and an Advent craft activity called Praying in Color.

Are You Called to Become a Daughter? 

The only spiritual attribute needed to become a Daughter is a sincere desire to draw nearer to God and to help others do the same. Daughters are women striving to fulfill the promises of their Baptismal Covenant through the adoption of a Rule of Life: • To continue in the Apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers. • To persevere in resisting evil, and when we fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord. • To proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ. • To seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself. • To strive for justice and peace among all people and respect the dignity of every human being.   

The Order of the Daughters of the King® (DOK) is an intergenerational community of women who desire a closer walk with the Lord, and who are strengthened through the discipline of a Rule of Life and supported by the companionship of other women. DOK members work, study, pray, and play together, supporting our church and living their own Baptismal vows. DOK’s vision statement is “to know Jesus Christ, to make Him known to others, and to become reflections of God’s love throughout the world.”

Our chapter is named the Deborah chapter. It was chartered in September 2015; read the story of the institution of this chapter.

St. Martin’s DOK chapter meets monthly on the fourth Sundays at noon in the library, located in the large parish hall, and it is open to all women or those who identify as woman. We take a vow of prayer, service, and evangelism. If you would like more information about the DOK, please contact chapter president, Claire Abraham at claire.abraham@stmartininthefields.org.

On Sunday, February 3, 2019 we received our new banner, which was blessed by our former rector, Fr. Scot McComas.

The Spiritual Awareness group meets on Thursdays at 10:30 am in the small chapel.

Members share and listen to each others’ “faith story” and how they see God working in their lives, most especially in the week that has passed. Meetings begin and end with prayer. Each person may share if they wish. Sometimes we just come to listen.

The prayer we use is: “Come Holy Spirit; fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in us the fire of your love. Send forth your spirit and we shall be created and you shall renew the face of the earth. Oh God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit did instruct the hearts of the faithful; grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy your consolations. Amen.”

We have been meeting as a group for several years. The membership remains in a state of flux as people come and go. It is open to both men and women, and attendance each week is not required. Come when you can.

Over the years we have developed a keen sense of intimacy and trust. We are sharing the most precious part of ourselves, which is our spiritual journey. We ask that “what is said in the room, stays in the room.” We are accepting of where we all are on the journey; we don’t try to “fix” anyone’s theology or be critical of any beliefs. It truly is an opportunity to share in a respectful environment.

We’re not a prayer group, although we pray for each other; we are not a support group, although we support each other. Sharing our spirituality is our purpose.

We can guarantee that you will be welcomed by the group. Please come and give us a try! For more information, please contact Susan Reeves at susankreeves@att.net.
