The Order of the Daughters of the King® Florida Assembly
The Annual Spring Assembly was held at historic Trinity Episcopal Parish in St. Augustine on Saturday, April 17. Trinity, the oldest Protestant church in Florida, founded in 1821, is celebrating its bicentennial this year. The Daughters enjoyed the in-person gathering hosted by St. Monica Chapter. The Reverend Matt Marino, Rector of Trinity Parish was our celebrant with The Rev. Ken Herzog, Chaplain of St. Monica, preaching the sermon. Fr. Ken spoke about "Episcopal evangelism" and that now is our time to share our faith and the love of Jesus with others. Martha Abstein shared her gifts by singing "Give me Jesus" for the offertory and and leading us in "Because He Lives" during Communion. Organist Cliff Parrish played our hymns including the Hymn of the Order "Lift High the Cross".
