The Daughters of the King (DOK) is an order for women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church, churches in communion with the Episcopal Church, or churches in the Historic Episcopate. Today our membership includes women in the Anglican Episcopal, Roman Catholic, and Lutheran churches (ELCA). Our Anglican tradition includes Episcopal oversight, Holy Scripture containing all things necessary for salvation, recognition of the gift of the Holy Spirit in Baptism, the real presence of our Lord in the Holy Eucharist, and worship according to the Book of Common Prayer. Members undertake a Rule of Life, incorporating the Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service. By reaffirmation of the promises made at Baptism and Confirmation, a daughter pledges herself to a life-long program of prayer, service and evangelism, dedicated to the spreading of Christ’s Kingdom and the strengthening of the spiritual life of her parish.
Most Sundays after the 10 a.m. service

We are looking for someone to start this ministry. Each week beautiful floral arrangements are placed on the altar. We are searching for a few volunteers willing to deliver these flowers to shut-ins or the local hospital on a monthly basis. This could become a wonderful and powerful ministry.
Every Sunday in Various Homes of Shut-in Parishioners

LEVs bring Holy Communion to
the homebound and sick. They are a life line and a connection to both older
members in our community and those in need. A one-time, nine-hour class is
required by the bishop who licenses LEVs for this ministry. It is the goal, but
not yet the practice, that every parishioner who is or was a regular attendee
at church be able to receive communion if they are unable to come to services.

The origin of The Stephen Ministry is the Lord's commandment to love one another. The purpose of The Stephen Ministry is to build compassionate, loving, non judgmental relationships with those who are hurting.
Health concerns, relationship issues, the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, are all examples of stressful, isolating events. A Stephen Minister will offer a safe, private and caring friendship to reassure the individual that he is not alone.
Stephen Ministers are volunteer lay persons, trained to assist the clergy in the care and nurturing of a congregation. As a lay person, a Stephen Minister has received more than 50 hours of instruction in providing confidential care through a Christian perspective. A Stephen Minister visits an individual in need on a regular basis and serves as a caring friend.
A Stephen minister is a child of God who walks beside a person who is hurting.
