Your work on behalf of God’s kingdom will be better carried out if you know how he wants you to carry it out, but you will have no way of knowing that, other than by obedience to his word. Submit to it, just like ivy. Ivy cannot live if it does not hold fast to something; you will not grow or live in holiness unless you hold fast to obedience.

Collect
Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for, as you always resist the proud who confide in their own strength, so you never forsake those who make their boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The Daughters of the King support your prayer needs and wishes. Each Sunday a prayer team will be available to pray with you after the Worship Service in the choir area after the 10:30 service. If you would like additional information, please see a DOK member.
They also have a intercessory prayer box on the table in the Narthex to deposit prayer requests. Prayer request cards may be found in the pews and beside the box in the Narthex. Daughters pray daily. All prayers are confidential. Each person is prayed for one month. If you wish for continued prayers, please complete another request card or contact a Daughter.
You may call the church office (903-455-5030) and specify it is for the DOK intercessory prayer list. You can hand the card to a Daughter (she is always wearing her cross).

Whenever I need a laugh Jeanne Robertson's stories and humor about everyday life lifted my spirits, and seeing her in person was indeed a treat. She died (non-covid) on Aug. 21, 2021 at her home in Burlington, N.C. at the age of 77. Be sure not to miss "Don't Send A Man To The Grocery Store." Hope you enjoy. |

To the Diocese:
Challenging Time in Church Life
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Greetings in Christ. I thank you all for your perseverance in this challenging time in the Church’s life, a delay from where we had hoped to be. I have continued to communicate with the clergy in the midst of the Delta surge, but I should share with you the advice we have given them.
