The Daughters of the King will have their Annual Diocesan Spring
Assembly at St. David's, North Chesterfield, on Saturday, April 27
beginning at 9 a.m. Following breakfast and a brief business meeting, we
will fill gently-used purses and backpacks with basic hygiene products
for residents in Menchville House, Natasha House and a few other women's
shelters. This 'Purses and Packs' project is a mission focus for the
diocesan Daughters chapters this year. The Rev. Kathie Price, diocesan
chaplain, will talk about the labyrinth and we will have the opportunity
to walk the new labyrinth at St. David's. The meeting will conclude
with Holy Eucharist. Contact: Kathy Zinskie, 757-879-9094.
Province III Retreat
The Daughters of the King Province III Retreat will be held at the
Claggett Retreat Center in Adamstown, MD May 31 through June 2. This
year's theme is "Creating Your Own Paths to Prayer". The Rev. Dr.
Patricia D. Brown, Executive Director and Spiritual Director of the
Spiritworks Center for Formation and Leadership in Pittsburgh will lead
the retreat. She is an author, pastor, hospital chaplain, professor, and
hospice manager. Our retreat will focus on simple gifts of music,
prayer and silence and enjoy fellowship, peace and nature. "To be
together and to laugh together is a great spiritual practice." For more
information, contact Kathy Zinskie at 757-879-9094.
