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.
