Our book study group returns with another book by Rachel Held Evans. This time we invite you to explore the Bible through different sets of eyes—different ways to see these age-old stories. This class will be on Sunday morning in the front half of Jeffords Hall, 10:15 -11:00 a.m., beginning September 11. The class will end Sunday, November 6.

Join leaders Janet Conrad, the Rev. Michelle Ortiz, Bob Coleman, and Tom Erdmanczyk as we explore Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again by Rachel Held Evans. We will bring our own stories to class and present based on our varied relationships to the Bible and invite you to bring and share your stories (if you feel comfortable doing so!)

Together we will explore this book, and our understandings, through
reading, presentation, and discussion – and, as always, we will keep you supplied with coffee and donut holes!

Rachel says: “My aim with this book is to recapture some … Bible magic, but in a way that honors the text for what it is – ancient, complicated, debated, and untidy, both universally relevant and born from a specific context and culture. … I hope to show how the Bible can be captivating and true when taken on its own terms, avoiding both strict literalism on the one hand and safe, disinterested liberalism on the other.” (pages xxi, xxii)

Books will be on sale for $10 each (cash only please!) in the mailbox hallway during the month of August!  We look forward to having you join us!

​Questions? Please contact the Church office.

This one-hour class will meet in the choir loft on Thursday evenings. Attendees can choose topics they would like to explore ranging from learning how to read music to dissecting a symphony, to improvisation. Teenagers through AARP-agers are welcome! No music experience is needed - just a desire to learn about the wonderful world of music. Contact Sue Mitchell-Wallace with any questions.
 

St. David's is excited to welcome guest speaker, Dr. Mark Douglas, professor of Christian Ethics at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, to the Rector's Forum on May 15. He will also be preaching the sermon at the 11:15 a.m. Service that Sunday.

The Rector's Forum lecture will explore environmental ethics from a Christian perspective, taking into account historical documents and current experience of environmental issues, guiding participants in shaping an ethical response to today's environmental challenges.

Please join us! All are welcome!

​In Lent, we are encouraged to come away from our routine to make space for quiet reflection and prayer. As Jesus makes his way into the wilderness to pray, we are invited to journey with him; to create intentional space for us to discern the service to which God calls us. Join us for “Walking with Christ,” a Lenten Quiet Day set apart to be still, open ourselves to the Holy Spirit, and prepare our hearts for Easter. 

Lenten Quiet Day is open to the entire parish.

​St. David's invites you to enhance your journey through Lent this year by making available to you daily meditations written by fellow parishioners involved in our Education for Ministry (EfM) program and the clergy.

If you want to receive these daily meditations through email every morning throughout Lent, please click on this link.

​Merry Christmas from the Thursday Morning Bible Study!

We hope you will consider joining us in our study of The Divided Kingdom when we re"zoom" in the New Year! We love new faces!
