Daughters of the King

We have an active and engaged Daughters of the King Chapter at St. Stephen’s.  If you would like more information or to join, please contact us.

The Daughters of the King is an Order for women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church, or churches in communion with  it, or churches who are in the Historic Episcopate such as the Roman Catholic, Anglican, and in the Evangelical Lutheran Churches in America. 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 strengthening of the spiritual life of her parish.

O eternal Father, who has sent us your Son to teach us things pertaining to your heavenly Kingdom, give your blessing to our Order, wherever it may be throughout the world. Grant that we, your Daughters, ever may discern your truth and bear the cross through the battles of our earthly life. Give us strength to overcome temptation and the grace to work to spread your Kingdom and to gather your scattered sheep within your fold. Pour out upon us the sevenfold gift of the Holy Spirit that we may always remember it is your work we are called upon to do, that all we think, do or say may be pleasing in His sight. We ask it all for His sake, our King and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen
