Serving Roswell, Alpharetta, Milton and most of North Fulton county, St. David's Episcopal Church is a thriving parish of over 700 families located in Roswell, Georgia, approximately 20 miles north of downtown Atlanta. St. David's Episcopal Church Convenient to Roswell, Alpharetta , Milton, John's Creek, Woodstock, and North Fulton County We are a like-hearted and diverse community of faith gathered and shaped by Jesus’ abundant love. We are focused on growing deeply and serving passionately, that we might shine Christ’s light wherever God might call us. There’s a Place at the Table for Everyone Relationships Come First Love like Jesus Unity over Uniformity Tradition not Traditionalism At the Altar, at the conference table, sharing meals, in the classroom – everyone has a place at the table at St. David’s. We desire your participation, and we invite you to bring your whole self to the table. We’ll make sure there’s room for you there. We draw nourishment and stability from our deep roots in ancient traditions, without sacrificing flexibility. We aren’t a museum for church traditions but participants in a living faith, anchored by practices that have been honored since the time of Jesus first followers. We believe reconciliation was the primary goal of Jesus’ work. Our relationships matter and define how we pursue our mission and activity. Person-to-person connection is a gauge of vitality at every level of the organization. We do our best to love God and our neighbor, always expanding the definition of “neighbor”. We strive to love not as the world loves, but as Jesus loves: wholly, unconditionally, and sacrificially. Everyone’s different; we honor that. We don’t seek to be a group of people who think alike about everything; we desire to be people who share a common heart, a common purpose, and a fellowship of love. Being together in community is more important than political affiliation, tribal identity, or which sports team you cheer for.

St. David's Children's Ministries Latest Blog Post susie280 Sunday Night @ St. David's: A Great New Way for Families to Connect Join us for fellowship and fun time for all members of your family! Welcome to Children’s Ministry at St. David’s, a dynamic, intergenerational ministry seeking to fulfill the mission of the church: to unite all people to Christ and to one another, especially through ministry to the children and families of the parish, and to our neighboring community. Children’s Ministry seeks to imagine, invite and grow relationships centered on a foundation of belonging and the assurance of God’s love for each of us; to connect, have fun together, pray, and learn the stories of Jesus and the Bible with St. David’s Family and friends. We seek God’s grace and guidance and invite all to support the work, play, discovery, and growth of Children’s Ministry through the following practices: To welcome all in Christian hospitality. To grow in faith through the experience of a Sunday worship gathering for children to discover in faith, listen to one another, and learn together about God's gracious love for each of us and the world. To grow in knowledge and joy through regular participation in a dynamic Sunday school and midweek Christian Education programs grounded in Biblical teaching, shared devotion, prayer, and the celebration of friendships. To minister to one another , to listen to and learn from one another as a fundamental way to strengthen our bonds in Christian friendship and concern for others through activities that promote fun, empathy, fellowship, and outreach partnership. Children's Chapel and the 9:00 a.m. Family Service St. David's 9:00 a.m. Family Service is responsive to the needs of families with young children and elementary age children, where all are welcome to join the joy, wonder, and relaxed nature of this celebration of Holy Communion. St. David's supports the needs of the child for full engagement in worship, to serve as an acolyte or to collect the offering, to participate in Children’s Chapel, and to gather around the altar at Holy Communion to receive their own faith message from Father Remington or Father Chip. Children's Chapel is a special worship opportunity for children ages PreK-5th grade. Each Sunday, after the opening prayers, children ages 4-years-old to 5th grade are invited to join Judy Hine, Director of Children's Ministries and an amazing team of Youth and adult leaders to go to Children's Chapel located downstairs in Jeffords Hall in Mercy and Grace classrooms. Children return at the Peace. Children separate into 2 groups by age/grade for their chapel time. However, there is always flexibility for children to join in with either group if that works better for the child. Questions? Contact Judy Hine , Director of Children's Ministries. Learn more here!

Designed for children, St. David's Communion Class teaches the sacrament and the importance of the Holy Eucharist. Holy Communion Holy Communion Class Next Class: TBD 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Downstairs in Jeffords Hall In the Episcopal tradition, all baptized persons are invited to receive communion, including children. Parents in conversation with their child determine the best time for their child to receive. Many children receive the bread as soon as they are old enough to hold it. However, some families choose to have their children wait to receive communion until the child is a bit older. St. David’s Holy Communion class is an engaging and interactive class, designed for children Kindergarten-5th grade to learn about the sacraments of Holy Baptism and the Holy Eucharist. The focus of each class is belonging. Belonging to Christ, belonging to our families, and belonging to our church family through the gift of water and God’s Holy Spirit at Baptism, and in communion, the coming together, for the shared meal of bread and wine. During the class, the children and leaders explore St. David’s campus, learning about our church home as we seek God in the Holy spaces that abound here. The children learn about Jesus’ baptism, share photos of their own baptism, and receive instruction on how to receive the communion bread and wine as they learn about the traditions of our Episcopal worship. The class meets on three designated Sundays from 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. downstairs in Jeffords Fellowship Hall in the Grace classroom. For more information or to register your child, please contact the Director of Children’s Ministry, Judy Hine.

With an award-winning hymnist backed by a legendary pipe organ and choir, St. David's music is among the best in the state. Adult 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, 7:30 – 9:30, from September through mid-May. (Solos, ensembles and instrumentalists provide music during summer months.) This choir sings at the 11:15 am service on Sunday mornings, and at the 9:00 a.m. service on All Saints Commemoration, St. David’s Day, and Easter. 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 Adult Choir has sung for Reaffirmation of Vows, Confirmation, and Ordination services for the Diocese of Atlanta. Contact Sue Mitchell-Wallace for details and a vocal range evaluation. We would love to have you join us! Contact: Sue Mitchell-Wallace, 770-993-6084, Ext. 107, or email here.

St. David’s has partnered with the Episcopal Church Foundation to manage life income gifts. Assets are transferred to the Episcopal Church Foundation. This entity invests the assets and produces income which is paid to you and/or your spouse (or another person if desired). The income can be paid for the duration of your life or, in some cases, for a specified number of years. As the charitable beneficiary, St. David’s will receive the asset value when the gift matures. The most common types of life income gifts include: Pooled Income Funds ($2,500 minimum) are pooled with other gifts and invested in a professionally managed investment portfolio. You receive a guaranteed income for life. The amount of the income depends on the rate of return on the fund’s investments. You will receive an immediate federal income tax deduction. Charitable Gift Annuities are similar to that of the Pooled Income Fund with the following differences: The minimum gift is $5,000. The income for life is guaranteed at a fixed amount. A portion of the gift is deductible. A portion of the income received is tax-exempt. Charitable Remainder Trusts are available using assets of $250,000 or more. The trust can be funded with various types of assets, including real estate. It provides income for life, an income tax deduction, relief from capital gains taxes (if funded through appreciated property), and a possible reduction in estate taxes. The income fluctuates based on the performance of the portfolio. To learn more about life income gifts, click on the topic below.

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"

"The Way Forward" describes the planning initiatives for St. David's. Delivering the love of Christ through the strengths of our parish defines our goal. The Way Forward Since August of 2021, St. David’s has been engaged in a discernment process which combines elements of traditional strategic planning with elements of group discernment and church leadership. Click here to read more about this journey as we name our need for discernment, discover all the possibilities, and engage our parish family as we discover God's dream for St. David's. This is an exciting time for St. David's! We ask that you keep St. David's and the Strategic Planning team in your prayers! The Way Forward Update: Draft Core Value Statements As a part of our strategic discernment process, The Way Forward, we have developed the following language to define our core values. These statements will provide important guidance to what activity we pursue as we dream alongside God about our future. The language presented is representative of responses to a values survey sent to members of our governance committees (Finance, HR, etc.), each senior warden from the last 40 years, and our four strategic discernment teams, consisting of ministry leaders, vestry members, and staff members. There’s a place at the table for everyone. At the Altar, at the conference table, sharing meals, in the classroom – everyone has a place at the table at St. David’s. We desire your participation, and we invite you to bring your whole self to the table. We’ll make sure there’s room for you there. Relationships come first. We believe reconciliation was the primary goal of Jesus’ work. In everything we do, our relationships come first. We want to ensure more person-to-person, heart-level connections through the ways we pursue our mission. Love like Jesus. We will do our best to love God and our neighbor, always expanding the definition of “neighbor”. We strive to love not as the world loves, but as Jesus loves. We want to embody this love in everything we do. Unity over uniformity. Everyone’s different; we honor that. We don’t seek to be a group of people who think alike about everything; we desire to be people who share a common heart, a common purpose, and a fellowship of love. Being together in community is more important than political affiliation, tribal identity, or which sports team you cheer for. Tradition not traditionalism. We draw nourishment and stability from our deep roots in ancient traditions, without sacrificing flexibility. We aren’t a museum for church traditions but participants in a living faith, anchored by practices that have been honored since the time of Jesus' first followers. While still in draft form, we welcome your feedback. Please reach out to Remington with any questions or comments.
