A Thank You to the Stockstills and a Mother/Daughter Tea

After two years of enthusiastic leadership, Mary Jane and Mary Stockstill are turning over their Jr. Directress responsibilities to Beth Scholz. Beth graciously accepted an invitation to join The Order of the Daughters of the King, and Senior and Junior DOKs look forward to her leading the girls going forward.

At a tea on January 3, they, along with Irrsula Mpouma, were recognized for their commitment towards, and leadership of, St. Mark's Jr. DOKs. Among our guests were The Revs. John Weatherly and Meredith Heffner. Rev. Weatherly spoke about the first time he met Daughters of the King while living in South America and how much he admired their love for Lord and vows of prayer, service and evangelism.

In thanking the Stockstills, Irrsula Mpouma summed up the feelings of the chapter best when she said: "... Mary Jane and Mary have done such a nice job these past years...I was expecting to recognize all of their work to create fun memories and enjoy everyone's company with tea and finger foods! I was surprised [to also be recognized] but wanted to let you all know how much I enjoyed working with such nice young people. From Trienniel in Orlando '06, the JDOK Province III retreat at Shrine Mont, St. Timothy Holy Innocent's prayer services, St. Paul's concert for Sudan, baskets for the homeless, crafts for the troops, caroling for the shut-in... what can I say? I wish all of the Junior Daughters the best in their faith journey, and may Beth be blessed and encouraged in her new leadership role too."
