Each Bible Study has its own course of study and has different areas of focus. We invite you to explore these offerings. If you find one that interests you, please use the links to email the facilitator. 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.

St. David's stands ready to support our community during difficult times through prayers, readings, and clergy visits. Our funeral guild will help facilitate funerals at St. David's. Funerals The liturgy for the dead is an Easter liturgy. It finds all its meaning in the resurrection. Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we too, shall be raised. The liturgy, therefore, is characterized by joy, in the certainty that “neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of Godin Christ Jesus our Lord.” Book of Common Prayer, Page 507 When there is a death in your family or a family member is near death, call the church. If it is after office hours, please call the main church number, 770-993-6084, and follow the directions to contact the Priest-on-Call. St. David's always has a Clergy member on call. We want to support you and be with you at your time of loss. Prayers and Readings: Near death or at the time of death The Book of Common Prayer provides prayers for the time when a person is near death (p. 462), and at the time of death (p. 462-463). When possible, the family and friends join together in the Litany (p. 462) led by the parish priest or by a lay person if the priest cannot be present. If you do not have a Book of Common Prayer, you may find it online at www.bcponline.org . Planning a Funeral or Memorial Service When it is time to plan a Funeral or Memorial Service please contact the church office. We will help schedule a meeting with a member of the Clergy. The priest will meet with the family to plan the service. If may find St. David's Guide to Funerals by clicking the button below. You may find it helpful in planning. Funeral Planning Form: A Gift of Love and Faith Planning your funeral is an act of care for those you love. Our Funeral Planning Form makes it simple to share your hopes for readings, hymns, and other personal touches. Together with clergy, you’ll create a plan that reflects your faith and provides peace of mind for you and your family. Click here to access the form. A Guide to Funerals at St. David's Funeral Guild: St. Joseph of Arimathea St. David’s has a strong team of caring parishioners who facilitate funerals. Led by the laity of the church, and under the direction and supervision of the Rector, the Guild of St. Joseph of Arimathea assists in every aspect of the Burial Liturgy. From arranging readers, vergers, chalice bearers, and ushers, to being with the family before the service, this guild works with the clergy to provide a thoughtful, dignified and meaningful service based on the Burial Rite in the Book of Common Prayer.

Stained Glass Windows Part 2 - The Four Evangelists "The Four Evangelists" Location: Rear of Church, Flanking Pipes of Organ At the ordination of a priest, the Bishop asks the ordinand questions found in the part of the service called “The Examination.” Before beginning the list of questions, the Bishop addresses the ordinand and issues a charge: “You are to preach.” Specifically, the Bishop tells the ordinand that, “As a priest, it will be your task to proclaim by word and deed the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Because of this charge made to every new priest, it is appropriate that the two stained glass windows at the back of the nave, which are effectively hidden from the view of the congregation, are the very ones that the members of our clergy see facing them every Sunday when they stand in the pulpit. These two tall narrow windows are in the gallery flanking the pipes of the organ. They commemorate the four Evangelists – the writers of the Gospels – whose names roll, in order, off our tongues so easily after years of repetition: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These are also the plainest of all the stained glass windows in the building: generic figures of four men, each holding a bound volume, with a quill pen in hand. Above each one’s head appears his name, prefaced with the word “Saint,” and behind each head is that device used by artists when depicting saints: a glowing disc referred to as a “nimbus.” The plainness of these windows is emphasized by the absence of the traditional symbols that appear so often in stained glass representations of the four evangelists -- the four winged creatures mentioned both in Ezekiel 1:4- 10 and Revelation 4:6-7. Back To Part 1 - The Round Windows Proceed to Part 3 - "The Life of Jesus"

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!

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"
