Walking in the Light-to Triennial 2015

Make plans now to Attend Triennial!! July 19-23, 2015:

DOK Trienniel Assembly AND Province VII Assembly @ Zermatt Homestead Resort, Midway, UT (50 miles from Salt Lake City)

Pam Runyon, the President of The Order of the Daughters of the King says, "As the Order grows and the number of Daughters attending this event reaches 600, it is becoming more difficult to find a venue which is within our budget. We are delighted that the Zermatt/Homestead Resorts will be able to accommodate us and meet our needs. The beautiful setting will be inspirational and we look forward to the unique opportunities this site will give us to glorify the Lord."

“We (National Council) encourage all Daughters to start “Walking in the Light” to improve their health and encourage those around them to do the same.  Chapters can support each other by gathering for weekly walk and prayer meetings while dioceses and provinces may start friendly challenges to see who can travel the most miles between now and Triennial.  We know that it only takes one spark to start spreading the Light of Christ, and by encouraging others we may inspire that Daughter who is struggling to avoid diabetes, to lose weight, or to maintain a healthy blood pressure without medication. So start preparing now and watch for updates through The Order’s electronic media and The Royal Cross!” (It’s estimated that walking 4 miles/day will equal the distance from GA to UT!)

Torch Relay

January 1: The National Office staff lit a candle and the National Council began a schedule that has the Triennial Prayer Torch traveling for a week at a time through all 50 states, Washington D.C., and other countries with DOK chapters.  The relay will end with the torch in Utah and a “lighting ceremony” included in the Opening Service at Triennial 2015. Keep up with the torch and learn about other Dioceses and Daughters by clicking the torch link on the left top of the home page of this blog!

On the way the torch will reach the Diocese of the Rio Grande in October! Watch for ways we can highlight our Daughters while the (virtual) Torch is here! 

Holy Triune God, Source of all light ~ radiate deep within us the longing to be Your light in this world.  Send forth this torch, a sacrament of hope and praise, into the welcoming hands of Your Daughters, that all who give and receive its light might be transformed.  Love’s Flame, be with us, shining bright and wild into unknown reaches, inviting us in the way we should go.  Bless the work of our hands ~ the preparation for these Triennial Days that Your splendor ~ sovereign and constant ~ may be unleashed for all the world to see. Amen.
