From the desk of Fr. Harvey . . . .
Thanks to everyone who was part of our picnic Sunday! Thanks also to those who joined us in worship! You can still view the 10:00 service on our Facebook page. If you prefer a YouTube link, please click here. We are now shifting into our summer schedule, when things will be a little slower. But we continue with our schedule of live-streamed services, as well as much of our normal schedule for regular weekly events. Men’s Bible Study meets Monday at 7:00. On Friday we have an in-person Healing Eucharist at noon, Bible Study at 1:00, and Contemplative Prayer at 2:30. Bible Study and Contemplative Prayer will both be in person and also on Zoom. In addition to our regular events, we are now collecting donations for a Tag Sale on Saturday, July 16, from 9:00 to 3:30. You can leave things in Room 5 or else my office. A couple of other things in the works: Some of us are thinking about heading to the Appalachian Trail to offer hikers refreshments (Trail Magic!) one day this summer. This is a regular ministry for one of our Churches in the Berkshires. They provide all the stuff. We would just do the fun part: interacting with the hikers. Second, I am trying to restart our Prison Bible Study at the Chicopee Women’s Correctional Center. The sessions themselves will hopefully begin in September. We’ll cover a single Monday each month from 7:00 to 8:00 in the evening. Please let me know if you are interested in either ministry. Three last announcements. We are reviewing the prayer list in our Sunday bulletin. We want to keep everyone who needs prayers, and remove those for whom prayers are no longer necessary. If you notice someone missing who should still be on it, please let me know. We plan to change the code to the street-side entrance sometime after July 11. If you need the code, please let me or Bob Rendrick know. And I’ll be heading out on vacation on July 25, returning August 8. Carrie and I will be celebrating our 30th anniversary with a trip to Wales to visit Saint David’s Cathedral! Fr. Domenic will lead the services in my absence, for which I am very grateful! Finally, the hymns and readings for Sunday are listed below. Please let me know if there are any birthdays or anniversaries to pray over. Thanks! God’s peace and all good to you all!! Fr.

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; committing ourselves to lives of joyful worship, prayer and the teaching of scripture
The viability of our church can only be sustained with your unending support. St David's offers so much to our parish and to the community through our many projects and ministries. Our parishioners make our church a warm and friendly place to worship, the physical surroundings offer a comfortable and peaceful environment to gather, and Fr. Harvey offers a personal touch in helping us understand the word of the Lord. Please consider making a general donation or a donation to our memorial fund, or our children's ministry. Click on the "Donate" button below, mail a check or put in our collection basket during our services. Thank you in advance for your support.
