or is He still a healing presence in our lives today?
Deacon Terry elaborates in his Sermon for the Week.

From the desk of Fr. Harvey. . .
Happy Halloween!! I’m back from my clergy conference and filled with gratitude for the things I learned and for those who kept things going in my absence. High on that list are Deacon Terry for leading services yesterday and Bob Rendrick for leading our Work Day. I’m also grateful to everyone who participated in either! As always, you can still watch the 10:00 service on our Facebook Page. If you prefer YouTube, please click here. A lot is happening this week. I begin with next Sunday. We’ll celebrate All Saints Day, which means that we’ll have time in the service to give thanks for the lives of people important to us who have died. Please take a little time this week to think about who you would like to mention and thank God for the lives of those people. Next Sunday is also the last day to contribute to the relief efforts of Episcopal Relief and Development for the victims of the storms in Florida and North Carolina through Saint David’s. Two of the people at my conference were directly affected by the storms, which really brought the tragedy home to me. One lives with her husband in Asheville, and the other has a son in school there. Back to the start of the week. Monday the Men’s Bible Study meets at 6:00. Tuesday we have our Tuesday Discussion Group at 4:15 in person and on Google Meets to talk about Julian of Norwich, Revelations of Divine Love, chapters 41-50. That evening at 6:00, we’ll watch and then discuss the sixth episode of season two of The Chosen. We have our regular Friday events: Healing Eucharist at 12:00; Bible Study at 1:00; and Contemplative Prayer at 2:30. For Bible Study and/or Contemplative Prayer, you can join by zoom by clicking the relevant link. Saturday there is a wine tasting at Mary Moore’s house. And Sunday is our week for Church without Walls. Several things are also happening in the wider Church. On Saturday (11/2), our new Presiding Bishop will be installed. There is information below about how to watch that’s service. On Monday (11/4) and also Tuesday (11/5), our Diocese is offering opportunities to pray together (online) about the election. And the following Saturday (11/9) is Diocesan Convention, where we will present our United Thank Offering. Finally, I draw your attention to two upcoming special events for our children. We are planning a Family Movie Night on Friday, November 15. We’ll gather in the Community Room at 5:30 for pizza, followed by a family-friendly movie starting around 6:30. All ages are welcome. So are all people—please come and bring friends! And we’re planning a trip to watch the Springfield Thunderbirds on Friday, January 3. Please contact Deacon Terry for more information about those events. Thanks!! God’s peace and all good to you all!! Schedule for the Week

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.
