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 Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach about Jesus’ Final Days in Jerusalem, 2006
by: John Dominic Crossan and Marcus Borg, Appropriate for Holy Week, Borg and Crossan are scholars interested in reconstructing the details of Jesus’ life. In this book, based largely on the Gospel of Mark, they go day by day through the final week of Jesus’ life, culminating with his crucifixion. Although IFr. Harvey doesn’t endorse every claim they make, the book is full of historical insights that shed light on Jesus’ mission and the foundational events of the Christian faith. It is not available at St David's, so please check out your public library.
