Welcome Redeeming Grace Chapter and Happy Birthday DOK

Welcome to the Redeeming Grace Chapter at Grace Episcopal Church in Carlsbad, NM!

The Holy Spirit has been actively working in the Daughters of the King of the Diocese of the Rio Grande. The Redeeming Grace Chapter at Grace Church, Carlsbad, NM was reinstituted on March 30. Five women of the church have been meeting in discernment since the first of the year. Welcome to Sara, Marta, Janet, Bernice, and Barbara! 

Front: L to right Marta Gallegos (President), Janet Bloom, Barbara Weaver (Treasurer), Bernice Fox, Sara Stephens (Secretary), and her daughter, Anna Stephens (maybe a future Jr!). Back: Cynthia Davis (Diocesan President) & Fr. Rod Hurst, Rector Grace Church.
A new chapter  (Santiago Chapter) is also in formation at St. James, Taos and will be installed in June. Three new Jr. Daughters will be installed at St. Chad’s, Albuquerque in May. Several chapters around the Diocese have new Daughters as well. There is lots happening with the Daughters in the Diocese!

And-did you know, April 4 is the birthday of the Daughters of the King! We are 129 years old today! We were founded on April 4, 1885 by Margaret J. Franklin. It was Easter Eve, Church of the Holy Sepulcher, NYC. (Now the Church of the Resurrection.) Birthday Blessings to all DOK wherever in the world they may be, esp. in the Diocese of the Rio Grande!
