DAUGHTERS OF THE KING
​(DOK)

---

Every Christian Woman is a daughter of the King! We are all called to live out our baptismal vows "to proclaim by word and example the Good news of God in Christ." The order of the Daughter of the King, however, formalizes this call in the Church for women to follow a specific Rule of Life: a spiritual commitment to daily prayer, service and evangelism. We are a religious order, and so belong to an international membership within the Church.  Each Daughter takes a lifetime vow to live by the Rule of the Order, to serve the rector of our parish church and to pray for the extension of Christ's kingdom throughout the world. We pledge to wear our Greek fleury cross as an outward sign of our commitment  to seek to bring others to Him.

There are a lot of Daughters at Christ Church! We have an exceptionally large membership of over 80 women. These women communicate daily through an email prayer chain and each of us pray daily for the needs of our church and friends and family. Each prayer request is treated confidentially and the utmost respect and privacy given to those for whom we pray.  They meet regularly to praise God, to pray for each other and the life of our parish, and to enjoy each other's fellowship. We join together here on campus for Quiet Days in Advent and Lent, and attend diocesan conference each March at Camp St. Christopher.  

Membership in our local chapter is offered each year to interested women through a six week study and examination of our baptismal vows. Christ Church also has a junior order of the Daughters of the King for girls ages 7-18.

For more information, please contact Judy Hood, DOK Chapter Secretary, at judyhood46@gmail.com.

WOMEN'S WEDNESDAY BIBLE STUDIES

---

Are you hungry for a connection? A connection with God and a connection with other women? We invited you to prayerfully consider joining a Wednesday Bible Study. This fall we are excited to offer to Bible Study tracks. Both classes will meet on Wednesday mornings from 9:30-11am, and an evening session of the Moms' class will meet from 6:30-8pm. Childcare is provided in the mornings and evening childcare is available by advanced request. Please register for either of these classes so that materials can be ordered for you.

Cross-Generational Class
Wednesday Mornings • Beginning September 11
9:30-11am • Parlor
This class is for women of all ages who are looking for an in-depth study experience. Some "homework" is required to fully realize the lessons and participate in the group discussion. Our fall study is the Gospel of John. We will employ the outstanding John for Everyone Bible Study Guide by N.T. Wright.

N.T. Wright says, "when you read detective stories, you quickly learn that what may look like an irrelevant little detail may actually be the clue to solving the mystery. A good writer will put in all kinds of detail; nothing is there by accident. Nothing in John's Gospel is there by accident either. And all the details in John are designed ultimately to come together. In these studies we discover the clues John gives that we might see even more clearly the reality of who Jesus is, the new creation he inaugurates and the difference that all makes."

The cost for materials for the class is $9. If this would be a financial burden, please contact Marcia Slott at mslott12@me.com.
