Dear Sisters in Christ,

Fall is in full swing, Thanksgiving is just around the corner with so much of God's abundance to give thanks. And the first Sunday in Advent (a season of eager waiting to see the divine at work all around us) will be here in a flash. I pray you are enjoying all the seasons have to offer.

As we move forward into the New Year, we have several events on our calendar. Regional meetings on January 21 (location TBA), February 4th (The Well by the Sea, Myrtle Beach), and February 18 (Old Saint Andrew's, Charleston. Meetings will begin at 10 am and conclude with a light lunch. Reservation information will be available through your Chapter presidents or DAL mailing. Our annual Spring Retreat, "At His Feet" with Fiona Richardson, is March 24-26 at Camp St Christopher. A registration form is available on our website at doksc.org The Juniors' Summer Retreat is June 22-25 at Canterbury Retreat and Conference Center in Orlando, FL. Lots of opportunity for fellowship so please plan on joining in.

The Assembly Board is presently seeking to fill two positions; Junior Directress and Historian. If you, or someone you know, are gifted or called to either of these positions, please let me know (kesterheaton@gmail.com) Position responsibilities will be posted on our website(soon)

Praying all of you enjoy an abundant Thanksgiving, a peaceful and spirit-filled Advent, and a very Blessed, Merry Christmas.
