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 Language of God, 2006 by: Francis Collins
If you are among the many people who believe that science and religion don't mix, please read this book! The author, Francis Collins, is a scientist who headed up the human genome project. He is also a devout Christian. With his feet deeply entrenched in the worlds of science and religion, he has heard all the criticisms of both and in this book he addresses the debate full-on. The Language of God provides thoughtful analyses of all the arguments concerning religion and science and the supposed incongruity of believing in both. Whatever your position is in this issue, this book, with its detailed explanations, should prove enlightening. Spoiler alert: As a Christian and a scientist, Collins becomes even more awestruck the more deeply he delves into science. As he says, "Science is not threatened by God; it is enhanced. God is most certainly not threatened by science. He made it all possible." New Testament ReadingHebrews 1-5

O Lord, may I always seek Your truth, fight for justice for all, and love the world into healing.
