The Order of the Daughters of the King
The Daughters of the King is an Order for women in the
Episcopal Church with chapters in the Roman Catholic,
Anglican, and Evangelical Lutheran Churches in
America. The Daughters are dedicated to prayer,
service, evangelism, and strengthening the spiritual life
of the local parish for Christ's Sake.
Ladies with Daughters of the King take vows for prayer,
service and evangelism. The focus is on prayer for our
parish and intercession for our Lord’s will to be done for
any need. All are welcome.
We would like to invite ladies of the parish to attend the
Daughters of the King meetings. The meetings are
usually on the second Sunday following the 10:15 service
in the large classroom in the Grey building. Always
check the bulletin board outside the church office to
verify date and time.

The Motto of the Order

Who We Are
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. 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.

About the Cross
The emblem of the Order is in the form of a
modified Greek fleury cross inscribed in
Latin, Magnanimiter Crucem Sustine, the
watchword of the Order, meaning "With
heart, mind and spirit uphold and bear the
cross." At the base of the cross are the
letters "FHS," initials that stand for the
Motto of the Order: "For His Sake..."
The emblem, never wavering from the
original design, has been trademarked for
the exclusive use of the Order. The cross is
worn at all times. It is customarily worn on
the left side over the heart or it may be
worn on a silver chain around the neck, but
it is never to be worn simply as an
ornament. Only a member in good standing
may wear the cross of the Order, which
remains the property of the Order. When a
Daughter dies, her cross may be buried with
her or incorporated into her memorial;
otherwise, it must be returned to the
National Office
