Daughters of the King

MISSION:
To live in and demonstrate
Christ's love by nourishing a faith community
and intentionally sharing Christ's love with others.
Current ministries and activities:
Daughters
of the King, current Chapter President - Kay Seiler.
Ministry Task: Prayer, service
and evangelism. Attend a monthly two-hour meeting where the reading
(devotional selected by members of the Esther-Macrina chapter) assignment
is discussed. The business discussion is usually the last twenty minutes
of the monthly meeting. We try to go out for dinner in place of the
monthly meeting about two times a year. Pray daily the weekly prayer
request list gathered from Clergy and Daughters. Assist in bread delivery
to newcomers visiting Christ the King each Sunday. Prepare bread delivery
packets to be used for newcomer bread delivery and making saltboxes.
We usually participate in three service projects during the year that
the Outreach Team has going on (i.e. CROP Walk, Turkey Shoot, and
hosting Interfaith Family Shelter one Monday evening). Our chapter
also supports a Haitian child, which requires each Daughter to donate
$25 per year to assist in the child's support.
Gifts
and Skills Needed:
Intercessory prayer, a servant heart and the ability to take Christ
with you out into the everyday world.
Time Commitment: Two-hours
monthly to attend the chapter meetings, three to four hours per month
to complete the devotional reading assigned for the chapter meeting,
one to two-hours each Sunday your assigned for bread delivery (the
time varies on the number of newcomers and what city they live in),
twenty to thirty minutes per day for daily prayer, twenty to thirty
minutes per day for reading the Bible. Once a candidate completes
their training and is admitted to the Order of the Daughters of the
King they are making a "Lifetime commitment" to daily prayer, service
and evangelism. Officers of the chapter (President, Vice President,
Secretary and Treasurer) put in additional time for their monthly
report/minutes, agenda or bread delivery schedule updates for chapter
meetings.
Training Required: Candidates
for Daughters of the King take an eight-week training course before
determining if they want to take the vows of admission to the Holy
Order of the Daughters of the King. Each training session is two-hours
long and requires preparation of a candidate prior to the session
(reading assignment, reading scripture and answering questions).
Resources/Support Available:
Any of the current officers or chapter Daughters.
