Daughters of the King
Open to all Episcopal women, the chapter meets once a month (currently the second Saturday of the month at 9:30 am). The Order’s purpose is to bring others into a living, loving relationship with Jesus Christ and to help strengthen the spiritual life of parishes and missions. Members undertake a Rule of Life incorporating the Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service. By reaffirming their promises made at baptism and confirmation, Daughters pledge themselves to a lifelong program of prayer, service, and evangelism.
Bible Study
Our Saturday morning bible study meets at 8:00 am with lots of coffee to help wake you up!
