Daughters of the King (DOK)
St. Mary’s Chapter of DOK at St. Hilary’s continues to service its purpose of prayer, service and evangelism. We pray daily for Christ’s Kingdom, for the spiritual growth of the Church, for all in need of emotional, spiritual and physical healing. Our Prayer Tree is available for those who request prayers for a specific person or need by calling the church office (239-936-1000).
We are a small group of faithful who meet once a month. We maintain an active prayer list that is updated weekly for those who request prayers. We welcome women who seek to strengthen their prayer life.
Episcopal Church Women (ECW) and the Monday Morning Workshop
The ECW national organization comprised of all women members of the Episcopal Church of all ages, ethnic origins and socioeconomic backgrounds who hold a variety of views. However, the common denominator of our members is love of God and the wish to do His work. Centered in congregations, the Episcopal Church Women (ECW) empowers women to do Christ’s ministry in the world.
St. Hilary’s Monday Morning Workshop of the ECW is a group of women who meet weekly to work on craft and sewing projects, primarily for the annual bazaar, which is held in November. Proceeds from the bazaar support the outreach activities of the church. In addition, the women hold two rummage sales a year, also to provide funds for outreach activities on a local and national level.
Monday, Feb. 20, 10 a.m., Coffee, Muffins, and Chatter – The ECW is a fun friendly group of ladies finding ways to raise money for church and community projects. We are looking for new women of all ages to become a part of the group and to bring new ideas. RSVP to Nancy Kelly at 432-9272 or Louise Molinaro at 489-1496.
