Knit and Pray Ministry

Our Knit and Pray group brings knitters of all ages and abilities together to pray as they create knitted shawls for individuals who are sick, bereaved, and new mothers. The knitters pray for God's comfort and healing for those who receive the shawls. Beginning knitters are welcome! The group meets the third Sunday each month in the Gilchrist Room immediately after the 10:30 service (10:00 a.m. in the summer months, beginning May 27th).

 

 

Daughters of the King and Junior Daughters of the King

Daughters of the King is an international religious order for Episcopal lay women and girls. Members undertake a Rule of Life, incorporating the Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service. By reaffirmation of the promises made at Confirmation, a Daughter pledges herself to a life-long program of prayer, service and evangelism dedicated to the spread of Christ's Kingdom and the strenghtening of the spriritual life of her parish. Our Daughters group meets the second Tuesday each month.

The Junior Daughters of the King is patterned after the adult group. Baptized girls ages seven and above may join the Junior Daughters and take vows of daily prayer and service. Junior chapters give girls the joy of a fellowship based on love of God, others, and self for meetings, pastimes, and ministry to others. The Junior Daughters meet regularly to have fun, build fellowship, and help their community.
