 Book of Remembrance |

And a little child shall lead them . . .
As part of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd level 2 program at St. Bartholomew, four second- and third-graders participated in their first reconciliation with Fr. Tom Papazoglakis. In the parables of the found sheep (Luke 15:1-7), the found coin (Luke 15:8-10), and the forgiving father (prodigal son, Luke 15:11-24),reconciliation is followed by a great celebration. In this case, the children were able to plan and participate as lay ministers in the special Saturday- evening Eucharist. The sash each child wears is decorated with images and words from the parables listed above and the central parable for this series of meditations, the True Vine (John 15:1-11).

The Motto of the Order
For His Sake . . .I am one, but I am one.
I cannot do everything, but I can do something.
What I can do, I will do.
What I ought to do, by the grace of God I will do.
Lord, what will you have me do?
The Daughters of the King is an international religious order for women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church. Margaret J. Franklin instituted the Order on Easter eve, 1885 at Trinity Church, New York City and chapters are now found all over the world. The Order is sacramental and we take life-time vows of prayer, service and evangelism. It is these two aspects of the Order that make it different from other organizations. Being a Daughter does not preclude anyone from continuing to participate in other organizations.
Anyone woman interested in learning more about the Daughters of the King is invited to join us Saturday, May 22, at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, 4011 Major Ave, Madison, WI. Current Daughters-at-Large will meet at 10:00 am. Any interested women are welcome at 11:00 am. We will welcome Lela Joscelyn, the Diocesan President of the Daughters of the King.
Peace be with you,
Catherine Stanley, Daughter-at-Large
