We want your visit to St. David's to be warm, welcoming, and comfortable. We believe that when you are our guest, we are co-hosts with God, who invites each of us to share in the love and community we have come to know here. 01 What should I expect when I visit? When you arrive, stop by the Welcome Center at the main church entrance. A member of our Welcome Ministry will be happy to answer questions, provide directions, and help you get connected. If you have not yet completed an online Welcome (Visitor) Card, our volunteers can provide a paper copy and submit it to the church office on your behalf. We look forward to welcoming you and helping you feel at home at St. David’s. 02 Where should I park? Parking is available in several convenient locations around campus: on the west side of the church adjacent to the main church entrance, on the north side of the church located behind the playground and Jeffords Fellowship Hall. Additional parking is available at Mimosa Elementary School on Warsaw Road, with stairs that lead from the back of that parking lot onto the church campus. Handicapped parking is available in each of the church parking lots with additional space in front of Jeffords Hall on the curved driveway. Please note that parking is not permitted in the fire lane located on the far right side of the Jeffords Fellowship Hall entrance from Old Roswell Road. The area is clearly marked with a red curb. 03 Are there Sunday School classes for children and adults? Yes. Sunday School and Christian formation opportunities are offered for children, youth, and adults each Sunday from 10:15–11:00 a.m., between the 9:00 a.m. Family Service and the 11:15 a.m. Service. Current class offerings and locations are listed in the Sunday bulletin. If you need assistance finding a classroom, please ask an usher or stop by the Welcome Center. 04 How does Communion work? The Holy Eucharist culminates in Communion, a shared meal of bread and wine in remembrance of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. When it is time for Communion, an usher will guide you to the altar rail. You may stand or kneel, according to your comfort and preference. When receiving Communion, most worshipers hold out their hands with open palms. A minister will come to you and place the bread in your hand. You may: • Consume the bread immediately. • Dip the bread into the wine (intinction). • Receive wine directly from the chalice. What if I don't want to receive Communion? You are always welcome to come forward for a blessing instead. Simply cross your arms over your chest in the shape of an "X," and a minister will offer a prayer of blessing. Who may receive Communion? All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Communion in the Episcopal Church. If you are not baptized or prefer not to receive Communion, you are warmly invited to come forward for a blessing. 05 How big is St. David's? Saint David’s Episcopal Church is a thriving parish of over 600 families and over 1,500 baptized members located in Roswell, Georgia, approximately 20 miles north of downtown Atlanta.

With a legendary pipe organ, imported stained-glass windows set among the historical naval-inspired architecture, St. David's is a beautifully constructed center of worship. Our Campus Click here to see maps of our campus St. David's Memorial Garden Our Memorial Garden, located in the southwestern portion of the campus, was dedicated in 1981. Within its confines, the earthly remains of many of our faithfully departed are buried. Masses are routinely held in the garden on All Saint's Day, at sunrise on Easter Day, and occasionally during the church year. This tranquil, sacred space provides a place for meditation, prayer, worship, and escape from life’s daily stresses. All who love and care for this sacred space are welcome to join and help us discern and create a ministry that will care for the Garden, and develop a long-term design plan for the space. New Interment Directory After 3 years of research, data entry and building, we have completed the Interment Directory located in St. David’s Memorial Garden. The directory has a page for each of those interred in the Garden. Please take the time to find your loved one in the directory and let us know if you would like any revisions. Many thanks to those who came together to make the Directory happen: Matt Koetzle created and built the beautiful box. In addition, Matt made a new sign for the Memorial Garden. Carolyn Davis entered the names of those interred to create our database of names. Anne Hungerford contributed hours of research to gather as much information as possible for each entry. Karen Marshall was the wordsmith of the project and ordered the plaques for the box. This needed project, generated from the heart, will serve those who visit the Memorial Garden in the years to come.

With an award-winning hymnist backed by a legendary pipe organ and choir, St. David's music is among the best in the state. The St. David's Choir The aim of the St. David’s Choir is to glorify the Lord by bringing His word to others in song. We believe that in turn, He will use gifts of music as a means to strengthen, enrich, inspire and encourage His people. “Called” has a special meaning to each member of the St. David’s Choir. We believe that each member of the choir participates because they have answered a call to excellence in music for the Glory of God and the worship of the parish; they embrace singing music that lifts spirits and inspires peace in hearts. We believe each person in the pew is part of our church’s “great choir” and encourage all who have a song in their heart to participate fully in worship. Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m., from September through mid-May. (Solos, ensembles and instrumentalists provide music during summer months.) This choir sings at the 11:15 a.m. service on Sunday mornings, and at special Festival services and holidays. Evensongs are sung in the fall and during Advent and Lent. Our repertoire spans from 16th-century literature through newly commissioned music. We have sung Requiem and Mass settings by Schubert, Fauré, Bach, Mozart, and Rutter. St. David’s Choir has sung for Reaffirmation of Vows, Confirmation, and Ordination services for the Diocese of Atlanta. Contact Mason Copeland for details and a vocal range evaluation. We would love to have you join us!
