Make a promise of daily prayer and service to our Lord Jesus
Make a promise to be Christ's faithful servants and to extend His Love to all people
Work to grow in our Christian faith and commitment through fellowship, prayer and Bible study
Junior Daughters Prayer God of Love, God of Life, God of Holy Strength, guide us, that by our daily practice of prayer and service we may draw others to Christ. Help us to reach up in hope, receive in spirit, respond in faith and reach out in love for all. We pray that your Kingdom will come for all creation, all people living together in love and peace. For His Sake. Amen.
Please keep in your prayers All children who suffer from hunger and homelessness, illness and injury, abuse and abandonment; the men and women of our Armed Forces; all Junior Daughters and Directresses all over the world.
1. Who are the Junior Daughters? We are Junior members of the Order of the Daughters of the King.
2. What is a Junior Chapter? A Junior Chapter is a group of three or more young women and girls who make a promise to pray daily and serve our Lord Jesus Christ. We are under the guidance and support of a Senior Chapter. A Senior Daughter serves as the Directress and is our leader.
3. Who can join the Junior Daughters of the King? Junior Daughters are girls and young women from 7 to 20 years of age. Membership is extended to all baptized girls.
4. Why become a Junior Daughter? Our chapter gives us a special opportunity to grow in love and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, while serving our church and community. We experience the joy of belonging to Christian fellowship with friends and mentors. We study the Bible, discuss our faith, support each other, and pray for the needs of our community and our world.
5. Do Juniors wear the Cross of the Order? We wear a silver cross with the initials FHS – For His Sake – as a symbol of our promise. For Christ’s sake we pray, we serve, and we reach out in love to all.
Name That Tune!
Well time's up, the name of that tune was "What Wonderous Love is This". That was a hard one. Here's one that's a little more contemporary.
OK, ready, "And I, I'm desperate for you, and I'm lost without you" A hint, it's been sung by a number of Christian artists. Good luck!
Be sure to send the National Junior Directress Chair an email with your answer. Thanks very much.

In memory of Mary Duncan, the founder of this Jr. Chapter, wife and mother of two. Mary passed away last year. She was a blessing to everyone. We will miss her but praise God for the loving and giving person she was and the legacy she leaves with the Dove Chapter.
