Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same purpose.

From the desk of Fr Harvey …..
 
I’m writing this a little early because I want to remind everyone about our Annual Meeting this Sunday (2/1) at 11:15 or as close to that as we can make the transition. Please join us if you can. If you prefer to join by Zoom, please click this link.
 
Since I sent my weekly message out early last week too, I paste the YouTube link to the service Carrie and I streamed from our home last Sunday here.
 
On to the schedule. Today (1/30), we’ll have our regular Friday events: Healing Eucharist at 12:00; Bible Study at 1:00; and Contemplative Prayer at 2:30. All Friday events are in person. For Bible Study and/or Contemplative Prayer you can also join by zoom by clicking the links above.
 
On Sunday, February 1, we’ll have our regular services of Holy Eucharist at 8:00 and 10:00, with Sunday School during the 10:00 service and Coffee Hour immediately afterwards and then Annual Meeting.
 
The Men’s Bible Study meets Monday at 6:00. Tuesday is our February Veterans Lunch at 11:30. As always, all veterans eat free. Please help spread the word! Next Friday, we’ll again have our regular Friday events. Next Sunday (2/8), we’ll have our normal Sunday services, after which the Women’s Book Group will finally meet at 11:15 (having been postponed twice!).
 
On other news, Lent is coming! We’ll have a Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper on Tuesday, February 17, beginning at 6:00. Our Ash Wednesday service will be February 18 at 5:30. I attach the full Lent and Holy Week calendar.
 
I want to make people aware of Lydia’s Closet, an outreach ministry through Saint Andrew’s, Longmeadow. They provide new and gently used clothes for infants through teens to needy families in our area. Information about how to donate is available in our narthex or you can talk to me.
 
We are also now taking donations for Memorial flowers for 2026. The form is available in the narthex. The suggested donation for flowers is $25 for flowers, and $5.00 for the sanctuary candle
 
We’re also moving into phase two of our Stewardship Campaign—the stewardship of our Time and Talent. The Commitment form is attached to this message, and copies are available in the narthex. We’ll dedicate our commitments on Sunday, February 15 at both services. Thanks, as always, to Ted Zern for his stewardship leadership!!
 
That’s it for now. Stay Warm! God’s peace and all good to you all!!

​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!
