DAUGHTERS OF THE KING

Magnanimiter Crucem Sustine - With heart, mind and spirit uphold and bear the cross For His Sake.

The Order of the Daughters of the King is organized as a religious order whose mission is to extend Christ's Kingdom through prayer, service and evangelism. The members are women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church, churches in communion with the Episcopal Church, and churches in the Historic Episcopate. Each daughter makes a life-long vow to live by the Rule of the Order which requires a spiritual discipline of daily prayer, service and evangelism, a dedication to spreading Christ's Kingdom and the strengthening of the spiritual life of her parish. Because of this vow, members refer to themselves as an Order and not an organization.  Bylaws prohibit fundraising.

The Order strives to create a safe place in our busy world where members can come together and support each other and their parish in Christ's love. Members are Christian women fulfilling the promises they made in their baptismal covenant. Members wear crosses at all times as an outward and visible sign that they cannot live without Christ in their life. Members of the St. Dunstan's Order of the King meet the second Saturday of each month for prayer and study.

Members are always available for prayer. For more information, contact the church office at 918.492.7140.

WOMEN OF ST. DUNSTAN'S

Some have asked, "What do the Women of St. Dunstan's do and does it cost anything to belong?"

The answer is, it costs nothing to be in this informal group and, in fact, if you are a female parishioner, you are already considered a member. We desire to serve God, each other, and the community.  There are a variety of ways we accomplish this: we support the Rector's Discretionary fund, we collect canned goods for the hungry, we sponsor a student in Uganda, give funds to the Guild of the Christ Child, and we help supply the church kitchen with necessities. These are just a few of the service projects we undertake.

Also important is developing our bonds with one another through our fellowship activities.  When we strengthen our bonds with each other we also strengthen our parish. In our busy, stressful lives, the fun and fellowship we have together is an important facet to our lives and faith.

All women are most welcome to join.  Plan to come to our meetings and find out more!

EPISCOPAL WOMEN'S PRAYER

Almighty God, we pray that you will bless our work in mission and ministry in the world.

Make us so thankful for the power of your love, given through your son, Jesus,

that we may pray, labor and give liberally to make known that love throughout the world.

Bless us that our lives may shine forth the joy and wonder we share in your name. Amen.
