Sunday Morning Refreshments

Refreshments are offered after each service every Sunday.  Dozens of members contribute their time and resources to create the bountiful juices, danish, fruit, and other assorted goodies.  If you would like to help with our Sunday fellowship ministry, sign up on the bulletin board located in the hallway near the Parish Hall.  Join us, meet up with your fellow parishioners after your next Sunday service.

Daughters of the King

The Order of the Daughters of the King is an Episcopal Order for women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church, churches who are in communion with it, and churches who are in the historic Episcopate.  The Order's purpose is to bring others into a living, loving relationship with Jesus, our Lord and Savior, and to help strengthen the spiritual life of our parishes and missions.  The requirements for membership in The Order are that a woman be a communicant in the Episcopal Church, be willing to participate in the preparation period, and vow to accept the Rule of Life.  The Rule of Life is made up of two parts:  The Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service.  Through the Rule of Prayer, daughters promise to pray daily for the spread of Christ's kingdom, for God's blessings on all members of the Order, and for the spiritual growth of their parish.  Additionally, daughters pray for any person requesting prayers on a daily basis by maintaining a prayer list.  Through the Rule of Service, daughters regularly take part in the worship, study, and work of the church, undertake a personal program of evangelism in a conscientious effort to bring others into a personal relationship with Christ, and work with their clergy, as directed, for the spiritual up-building of the parish.  Daughters wear a cross that was designed specifically for the Order that reminds them of their commitment to the Order.  For more information about the Daughters of the King, please contact our parish administrator.

Annual Women's Retreat!

The happenings at the annual Women's Retreat are probably the best kept secret in town.  Rumor has it that "what happens at the retreat stays at the retreat."  There are no photos to share, just the comments of what a wonderful time everyone has being together for fun and fellowship.  To get the story of the 2015 retreat, just ask any attendee.  You can't miss the twinkle of the eye attendees return with.
