While I’m away, please contact Deacon Terry with any pastoral emergencies.  On Sunday June 22, Deacon Terry will lead services of Morning Prayer at 8:00 and 10:00, and Father Scott will preach a centennial sermon. I’m grateful to all three of them for covering for me!
 
What follows is our schedule for the next three weeks(!). I start with our special events.

As I mentioned above, Father Scott will also preach a centennial sermon at both services on Sunday, June 22. The Women’s Book Group meets at 11:15 that morning as well.
 
Skipping to the next weekend, on Saturday (June 28) a group of us will head to the Berkshires to offer a little Trail Magic to hikers on the Appalachian Trail. Please let me know if you would like to join us for what should be a great day. And Sunday, June 29 is our Church Picnic, beginning at 11:15. There is a sign-up sheet for that too, floating around.

Looking ahead, please note that we will NOT have a Veterans Lunch in July. We take a break every July in honor of Independence Day.
 
Finally, we’re raffling off a private plane ride for two over the Pioneer Valley! Tickets cost $10, and the drawing will be Sunday, August 3. Proceeds go towards our operating budget. For more information or to buy a ticket, please contact Susan Amabile or Sue O’Hare.

Caring for the Elderly

Do you have an elderly relative or friend that is in need of additional care? Are you finding it difficult to care for an elderly parent or grandparent? In need of a facility that can offer a place to live with access to medical care? So many questions when it comes to making sure loved-ones get the proper care and comfort in their aging years. You may find answers to some of your questions at Caring.com. Please visit their site to find out more information about senior living.

​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.

We Would Love to Have You Visit Soon!
