- FAQ's | St. David's Episcopal Church
A list of Frequently Asked Questions about participating in a Small Group Frequently Asked Questions about participating in a Small Group Study. This fall, our Small Groups will journey together through N.T. Wright’s Philippians for Everyone . Because Philippians is featured prominently in our Sunday lectionary readings this season, it offers a wonderful opportunity to explore Scripture more deeply alongside fellow parishioners. 01 Do I need to be a member of St. David’s to participate? Not at all! Our Small Groups are open to everyone. Whether you have been attending St. David’s for years, are brand new to our community, or are simply curious about exploring faith, you are welcome. Feel free to invite a neighbor, friend, family member, or coworker to join you as well! 02 What happens at a typical Small Group meeting? While every group has its own unique personality, most gatherings include a time to connect and check in with one another, prayer, discussion around the week's study, and an opportunity to share prayer requests before closing in prayer. Most groups meet for about 60–70 minutes. 03 What is the time commitment for Philippians for Everyone? This fall's study will last for 8 weeks. Since Philippians is a relatively short book of the Bible, groups will begin meeting during the week of September 14 and conclude before Thanksgiving. 04 Do I need to attend every meeting? We encourage you to attend as regularly as possible. Building relationships—with God and with one another—takes time, and consistent participation helps foster deeper connections. That said, we understand that life happens! If you need to miss a week, we hope you'll simply join us again the following week. 05 How do I sign up? Groups will be posted on our website, where you can browse the available options and register for the group that best fits your schedule and interests. Please note that some groups may have participant limits in order to encourage meaningful conversation and connection. 06 Do I need to have read the Bible before? Nope! Small Groups are for everyone, whether you are opening the Bible for the first time or have been studying Scripture for years. Come as you are and start where you are. 07 Do I need to pray out loud or share personal things? Participation is always encouraged, but never required. We invite you to participate at a level that feels comfortable to you. You are never expected to pray aloud or share anything you would prefer to keep private. 08 What will I need? All you'll need is a copy of Philippians for Everyone (included in your registration fee), a Bible, and a sense of curiosity as we explore Scripture together. If you have a question and do not see it here, please feel free to contact Rebecca Cline , Director of Parish Life. We are happy to answer any questions you may have!

The original instrument, Opus 1868, was built by Austin Organ Company, Hartford, Connecticut, in 1934. Fifteen years ago, St. David’s purchased this organ through the Organ Clearing House from a Presbyterian Church in Iowa. In 2016, Austin Organ Company built a new three-manual console, and additional digital voices (ranks of stops) were added to the specifications.

Stained Glass Windows Part 4 - The Six Mercies “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me,” and, “Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.” - Jesus Location - Left side, along the wall of the nave. Feed the Hungry Give Drink to the Thirsty Shelter the Stranger Clothe the Naked Visit the Sick Ransom the Captive The six rectangular stained glass windows that flank the left side of the nave depict the Gospel lesson: Matthew 25:31 -46. They show what are called “The Six Mercies.” These are only a representative sampling of the types of things Jesus calls us to do as subjects of our Heavenly King. The inscription in each window describes the tasks spelled out in the Gospel lesson: “Feed the Hungry,” “Give Drink to the Thirsty,” “Shelter the Stranger,” “Clothe the Naked,” “Visit the Sick,” and “Ransom the Captive.” The six windows are plain and straightforward in their depiction of the Six Mercies. Only in the lastwindow is there a bit of symbolism. It’s the large anchor being held by the man who is visiting the prisoner in chains. The anchor is a very ancient Christian symbol of hope. An anchor holds a ship safely in place against tides and winds, and so it is also with the hope of Christ’s Resurrection. Writing to the Hebrews of the certainty of God’s promise, St. Paul says, “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” (Hebrews 6:13-20) Back To Part 3 - "The Life of Jesus" Proceed to Part 5 - "The Saints"

Thursday Morning Bible Study Thursdays, beginning September 17, 2026 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. Jeffords Fellowship Hall, front half The Thursday Morning Bible Study invites you to their Fall class on the Gospel of Mark. Mark may be the shortest of the four gospels, but it contains the most events. Mark’s writing about Jesus’ life is fast-paced and action-packed. This is “a gospel of miracles” more than sermons or parables! If you enjoy a dramatic page-turner, you’ll delight in Mark’s account of Jesus’ ministry. With vivid details, he shows us a Savior on the move. Mark’s purpose in writing is to convey the exciting, life-changing Good News about Jesus. He encourages us to respond to Jesus’ invitation to become a faithful disciple too! You don’t have to be a Bible expert to enjoy this class. This is Scripture “made understandable”! We laugh, hug, drink coffee, study, and pray—and we have a place for you! New faces welcomed! Join us in Jeffords Hall every Thursday from 10:00—11:30 a.m. beginning September 17. The class is free and is available in person, as a live Zoom chat, or as a YouTube lesson. Questions? Contact Kim Freeman.
