Daughters of the King—Nancy Miller

St. Columba’s Chapter of the Order of the Daughters of the King at St. Columba’s Church is a chapter of the National Order of the Episcopal Church.  Our chapter meets once a month, usually the first Saturday.  They have a threefold mission of prayer, service, and the spread of Christ’s kingdom.

Membership in DOK is open to all women in the parish.  Visitors are welcomed at any meeting.

For His Sake…

I am but one, but I am one.

I cannot do everything, but I can do something.

What I can do, I ought to do.

What I ought to do, by the grace of God I will do.

Lord, what will you have me do?

Celtic Courier—Carol Browning

Coffee Hour

Refreshments are provided by members of the parish to enhance our fellowship after each service on Sunday morning. Anyone can volunteer for this ministry. The sign-up list is in the Parish Hall.

Arts and Crafts—Ann Luthringer

We have a weekly craft group for those who like to do arts and crafts. The group meets every Wednesday afternoon for 2 hours in the Parish Hall to share ideas and patterns, seek assistance and solutions for individual craft problems and sharing recipes as well as general conversation. Come join the group any Wednesday.

Family Fellowship

Young families with and without children join periodically for fun events both at the church and at parishioners’ homes.

 

Parish Events

The Parish puts on a number of events during the year where help of all types is needed.  Some of these events include the BBQ, the Wine Fest and the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper. Help is requested at the time of the event and many hands make light work.
