When Anthony E. Wolf’s witty and compassionate guide to raising adolescents was first published, its amusing title and fresh approach won it widespread admiration. Beleaguered parents breathed sighs of relief and gratitude. Now Dr. Wolf has revised and updated his bestseller to tackle the changes of the past decade. He points out that while the basic issues of adolescence and the relationships between parents and their children remain much the same, today’s teenagers navigate a faster, less clearly anchored world. Wolf’s revisions include a new chapter on the Internet, a significantly modified section on drugs and drinking, and an added piece on gay teenagers. Although the rocky and ever-changing terrain of contemporary adolescence may bewilder parents, Get Out of My Life gives them a great road map.

Members and their families can have their wedding at St. David's. Marriage It is a great joy to know that you desire to have a wedding ceremony at St. David’s Church, and we want to assist in making that desire a reality. At St. David's, we believe that committed relationships visibly reflect God's inner, spiritual love. Our mission is to support couples and make God's love more visible in our community. It is the responsibility of the clergy, Wedding Guild, Flower Guild, and Organist to assist you and ensure that your day is special and spiritually meaningful. The first step in the marriage process is completing the Request for Marriage Form from below. A priest will follow up with you. Onsite Weddings are reserved for members of St. David's who are in good standing. St. David's Clergy are available for pre-martial counseling and off-site weddings on a case-by-case basis. You can also download the St. David's Wedding Handbook to help guide your planning. The form will take about 5 minutes. Remarriage Petitions If you are widowed or divorced, a Remarriage Petition must be completed and filed. All Remarriage Petitions must be submitted electronically at least 45 days prior to the proposed wedding date. The petition(s) must have the signature of the officiating priest. Be aware that the Bishop may request to review the original documents during the approval process. A petition must be filed for any person for whom a previous marriage was dissolved by civil authority. A petition must also be filed if the petitioner is no longer married due to the death of the spouse. When each person in the proposed marriage is divorced or widowed, a separate and complete petition must be filed for each person. Copies of the final divorce decree or death certificate must be attached to the petition. For a second marriage, the bishop requires a waiting period of one year from the date of the final decree. The date and place of the proposed marriage may not be publicly announced until the bishop’s consent has been received. The Wedding Guild The Wedding Guild is present at all rehearsals and weddings. We work in teams of three or four to assist the priest, the bride and groom, and the wedding party. Soon after the wedding date is set, we meet with the bride and groom and the bride’s mother (or other special person) to discuss wedding plans in detail, answer questions, and get to know the people that we will be helping on the special day. From that meeting onward, we are available to provide advice on wedding logistics. At the rehearsal, we assist the priest in choreographing the wedding ceremony. We rehearse the ushers, attendants, readers, and all moving parts of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, we calm the nervous, cheer the melancholy, keep the groomsmen focused, help with inevitable clothing/hair/makeup issues, deal with the photographer, and serve as timekeepers to ensure that the wedding party is on schedule. We have an updated Wedding Handbook, a comprehensive planning guide to assist the bride and groom. The booklet is available online, through the church website for the thoroughly modern bride-to-be. Volunteers (male and female) are always welcome to join this excellent ministry. Contact Janis Harvey for more information.

"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. 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.

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.
