‘Pursenalities Project’ at St. Mark’s, Richmond

The order of Daughters of the King at St. Mark’s, Richmond, collected used purses with the goal of filling them with items such as wallets, makeup bags, keyrings, and travelsize toiletries.

The women in the order named the ministry the “Pursenalities Project.” In summer 2022, the filled purses were donated to the Fort Bend Women’s Shelter in the Richmond/ Rosenberg area.

The Order of the Daughters of the King is a spiritual sisterhood of women dedicated to a life of prayer, service, and evangelism.
