First Time at Saint David’s? Our regular services are at 8:00 and 10:00 on Sunday mornings. At both services, we sing songs, read passages from the Bible, hear a sermon about how the Bible applies to our lives, and celebrate Holy Communion. The service lasts about an hour. You can follow the service on screens at the front of the Church or else in the red Book of Common Prayer in the pews. Children are welcome at all services. There is also a nursery available during all services, as well as special children’s programming during the 10:00 service. After the 10:00 service, please join us for pastries, coffee, and/or juice. We would love to get to know you better! We have ample parking, and the Church is fully handicapped-accessible. Praise and worship of our Lord does not end when the service is over. We are all encouraged to go in peace to love and serve the Lord where ever life takes us. Don't miss out on what you deserve: peace, love, and happiness. Come to St. David's where you will find that and more. ALL are welcome, please join us! St. David's is a place where new friendships are formed and old friendships blossom. Saint David’s is called to be: a caring community of dynamic worship and relevant teaching designed to provide a foundation for our daily lives and to equip believers to serve God in the world.
As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are called to love God and community; committing ourselves to lives of joyful worship, prayer and the teaching of scripture Recommended ReadingsThe Great Divorce, 1946 by: C.S. Lewis
This short and engaging novel tells the story of passengers who take a bus from Hell to Heaven where they are met by people they used to know. In each case, the person from Heaven invites their old friend/family member to stay. The book takes the form of a series of dialogues in which most of the people from Hell refuse the invitation. Lewis is clear that his book is not intended as an accurate picture of the afterlife. Instead it is a profound exploration of why we so often reject God’s invitation to lives of joy and love. Somehow that inspires rather than depresses! New Testament ReadingJohn 2 and 3
Revelations 1-3 Please join us in reading the entire New Testament Below is a link to YouTube to aid in your reading for this week. 
We thank you, Father, for the gift of Jesus your Son who came to our earth and lived in a simple home. We have a greater appreciation of the value and dignity of the human family because he loved and was loved within its shelter.
Bless us this day; may we grow in love for each other in our family and so give thanks to you who are the maker of all human families and our abiding peace. From The Catholic Prayer Book, compiled by Msgr. Michael Buckley |
