Lenten Quiet Day 2013
January 24, 2013 - 9:44pm — Anonymous
Dear Sisters in Christ in the DOK Pittsburgh Assembly,
St. Paul would wish you “grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,” and so do I! And, like Paul, “I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you because your faith is proclaimed in all the world” (Romans 1:8). Specifically, we Daughters are getting ready to proclaim our faith to all of Pittsburgh when we present our second Lenten Quiet Day at Shepherd’s Heart Fellowship on February 23. Last year’s Quiet Day was a gentle outpouring of love that generated many requests for a follow-up. If you missed it last year, you won’t want to miss it again!
This year, as you can see from the attached flyer, we will be delving into the lives of 12 strong women of the Old Testament. We can learn so much from both their strengths and their weaknesses. Please plan to be with us as we practice this Lenten tradition of prayer and reflection.
Shepherd’s Heart is centrally located in the Uptown section of Pittsburgh. There is plenty of parking next to the building, which has an elevator. We will have coffee, tea and light refreshments available before and throughout the morning. And, best of all, we will have time to let go of the pressures of our daily lives and, instead, absorb some of the teachings in God’s Holy Word.
Be there and let us show Pittsburgh that the Daughters of the King also are strong women who live out our faith!
For His Sake,
Gail Simpson
President, Pittsburgh Assembly

Lenten Quiet Day
Our DOK Lenten Quiet Day will be held from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm on Saturday, February 25, at Shepherd’s Heart Fellowship in the Uptown section of Pittsburgh (13 Pride Street). This Lenten offering to the community will consist of prayer, readings on the apostles and times of quiet meditation. it will be the local revival of a long-standing tradition in the Order of the Daughters of the King.
Why should you attend? Look at our vision statement: The vision of the women in this Order is to “encourage and enable one another to be reflections of God’s love, reaching out through Prayer, Service and Evangelism to spread His Kingdom”. In our Rule of Prayer, Daughters vow to pray daily for the extension of Christ’s Kingdom, for the spiritual growth of the Church, especially for our diocese and parish, for all who need emotional, spiritual and physical healing, and for the work of the Order. In our Rule of Service, Daughters pledge to participate regularly in the worship, study and work of the Church, to assist their priest in any way possible, and to bring others to a knowledge and love of our Lord. Daughters also promise to make a constant effort in our own lives to present Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit in such ways that other persons may be led to believe in Him as Savior and follow Him as Lord within the fellowship of the Church.
Be a reflection of God’s Love, and be at Shepherd’s Heart Fellowship on February 25, as we meet our Lord in the stillness of a Quiet Day.
